Getting ready isn\u2019t always easier nowadays, but every once in a while we do get nostalgic for some of the ritual of getting ready back then.

Costume jewelry took on a whole new meaning with their fanciful brooches and clip-on earrings. And they had earrings for pierced ears! Even if no one you knew sold this line of jewelry, you saw it all around.

From the way we did our hair to the clothes we wore, the styles were very unique to the decade.
