To help you familiarize yourself with the different eras, check out photos of movie stars in that particular decade. Fashion for each decade will help you form an idea of what you prefer. Knowledge on where to look and how much you will spend can help you with your choice of clothes. You can try to visit galleries, fashion museums of vintage clothing and browse through them.
