Since Halloween is this Saturday, I thought I would dedicate Vintage Photo Tuesday to Halloween costumes from the 1920s-1960s.

Happy Halloween Friends!

When I first started my blog in 2012, I wrote a blog post called “I love Saddle Shoes” and it showcased some vintage ads and vintage images of people wearing those famous black and white shoes (and sometimes brown & white). It was not the most detailed post but it was still fun to do.

Over the years my research and my blogging techniques have gotten better and I have accumliated many vintage photos of people wearing saddles shoes that I would like to show you today for Vintage Photo Tuesday!
