Mad Men Monday–Finale Edition
So I must say it is a little bitter sweet to see the end of this Mad Men season. In the course of this season I have seen the popularity soar. The Etsy stores labeling Mad Men garb went from less than a hundred to a few thousand–it is absolutely insane!
I fluctuate between Joan and Peggy being my favorite characters. Both are smart, savvy and forward thinking. I decided to end with a Joan post though because for what she may lack in book smarts she compensates with street smarts. She is a fighter!
To complete the season 3 Joan look–this wiggle dress (I wish it were on a model) has great texture and color and would highlight curves beautifully. This is actually the length I like, not too short, not too long and the brocade is stunning. And as we visualize Joan taking it up a notch in her career I thought a retro typewriter would be the perfect accessory. This one is in beautiful condition and even has a decent ribbon. Both of these items are around $50, so you can get a little Joan for $100 to keep you going until the next season. Enjoy.

I always think that certain clothes look much better on real people than on a hanger… As evidence in my husband’s reaction to some clothes I buy: He makes the “stinky face” until I actually try it on for him. I bet this dress is a real stunner on somebody with the right shape!
Thanks for including our typewriter in your roundup. I’ve added your site to my blogroll. Awesomeness.
Hi there, just found you through the Manly Vintage blog. I adore Mad Men and actually dressed up as Joan last week for Halloween in a dress similar to the one you featured. You can see pictures on my blog.
Jayson–Thanks for the love…I will match your blogroll offer with my own.
Leilani–you are so cute! I read your post about the Randolph street market and the crazy store owners. Ummm…yes, not to mention how over-priced everything was…I went twice this year and only had one score.
