Dressing Mad Men

Series Four of Mad Men just ended and I don’t know how I’m going to cope without my Joan fix for however long it is until Series Five hits the US.

I
NEED
JOAN


Mad Men; Salute Pictures, Images and Photos

Also Betty is totally buff too, and you can’t afford not to mention AskMen.com’s most influential man of 2009- Mr Donald Draper.

(N.B If you don’t watch Mad Men- watch it. And if you already do- *high five*)

Today’s feature is going to help you lot buck up your style ideas and show you how to dress like a prissy housewife/saucepot secretary/highflying ad man/goody-two-shoes-with-a-shady-past copy writer- and all on the high street!


BETTY:
Think-
Florals
Knee length full skirts
Pastel colours

Necessary Accessories-
Pearls
Neuroticism
Cigarettes

Real-Life Examples

(admittedly these are both kind of horrible but Bets is much more of a Spring/Summer rather than Autumn/Winter kind of gal.)
