Not content with watching Mad Men, I have to look and look again. The first viewing is for the storyline, gathering the information and character development. Then it is back to examine January Jone's costumes. Then it is Joan and all the bit part female characters for their dresses, shoes and jewellery.
It is a veritable feast of colour and cut. I think the attention to detail is superb and I found this reasonable priced vintage 60s dress at Pret a Portobello.com. which exudes pure series 3 Mad Men. The trick with replicating Mad Men is to forgo the late swinging sixties look and look for dresses that sit between the late fifties and 1967, some will be just on or below the knee and others will be rising slightly higher ....remember the mini has yet to arrive even though Peggy's been smoking dope. She is so going to burn her bra!
I haven't watched Mad Men but loving The Good Wife and Desperate Housewives and of course Lost started again last night - billiant as ever!
ReplyDeleteLoving the new series of Mad Men - the styling is fab - and I think you're right about Peggy!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress, and FINALLY someone else who watches The Good Wife. I don't know anyone else who is watching, despite nagging my friends 'why don't you watch The Good Wife on 4oD' 24/7.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get all the Mad Men boxsets too, I want to get into it. Although I disscovered ER last summer and have since watched 16 years of the show in under 10 months, so I need to finish that before starting something else. No so fashionable though, unless you're into scrubs....
I was a real late-comer to Mad Men but have to say the outfits are a constant inspiration. This dress is a great pick!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in the dress .. have not seen Mad Man or The Good Wife .. I watch too much already at the moment, but will look out for them x
ReplyDeleteGreat dress, love the repetition of that lovely wave pattern.

ReplyDeleteI stopped watching Desperate Housewives a while back...but now that I, too, am broke..maybe I will pick up the bad habit again.
