Style Dress Shoes

For my work I have to dress 50s style, any tips on where I can find 50s style skirts / dresses / shoes etc?

I'm 15 and really need help!
I work in a shop and for a new promotion I have to dress 50s style.
What high street shops sell 50s style teenage clothing
It has to be cheap because my budget isnt big!!!
thanks

I suggest going to your local mall and using the following as a "checklist". If you can't find some of the stuff, go to a vintage (or retro) specialized shop-- It'll be very easy to find '50s stuff. (if there isn't one in your area, here are some online ones)

Here's your "checklist"-- I included some tips and pictures.

1. A white blouse would be a safe start. Wear it under a high-waisted pencil or full skirt and it'll look great!

2. Just a plain tank top would work out fine too. Something that looks like this:

Not too low cut, please!

3. A high-waisted pencil skirt, as I mentioned in number 1. Something with this kind of shape:

Get it in a plain color-- red, for example.

4. You could also try a high-waisted full skirt (see number 1).
Once again, get it in a plain color.

(A little tip: If you're going to get both a pencil and a full skirt, get different colors! i.e. get a red pencil skirt and a black full skirt.)

5. If you're not a big fan of skirts, capris like this would be a great alternative:

4. Dresses: There are so many different styles that I can't really help you out on this one! Here are a few of my favorites, though:

5. For shoes, I'd suggest either a very high stiletto-- or if you're not into wearing heels, just open-toed flats.

6. Gloves were used during the whole decade and not that hard to find, so a great accessory.

Good luck, hope I helped!
