That's so Joan

Dress: RW&Co
Jacket: Forever 21
Shoes: Sears

RDog and I went to RW & Co. yesterday because it was their friends and family event and there was 30% off. I tried on this dress and showed RDog. Our consensus was that it was so Joan from Mad Men. That sealed the deal and it came home with me. Later on that night, I was flipping through some magazines and spotted this page.

There's my dress! How smart are we!?

By the way, the magazine was LouLou's March edition.

Mad Men Prettiness

The newest edition of Vanity Fair has a Mad Men spread of photos of Jon Hamm & January Jones. I must share because they are so gosh darn pretty (the actors, the pictures and the clothes).



Jon Hamm + no shirt = daaaaamn!
He is a fine looking man.

Mad Men Tour of the Costume Shop

I found this video on Mad Men's costume shop. I can't wait to see this season's outfits. Just from the few pictures that have been released, I can already see a change as the ladies move more into the sixties. The dresses are less poofy, the hair is starting to flip out but everything is still fantastic. I wish I had some of those dresses in my closet!

Thrift Finds

Last week, I posted here about my realization that I had a vintage coat sitting in my parents' house just like one Betty Draper wore on Mad Men. I was just home for a visit and had the chance to dig the coat out of my old closet. My mother bought it for me at least ten years ago but I never wore it. Now I know why.
This thing is huge! I thought that was the end of it until I read on The Purse Forum about a coat that was altered from a size 12 to a size 0. Maybe this coat still has hope. I've added it to my alterations needed pile and will schedule a trip to the tailor soon.

While I was home, my mother and hit the thrift and antique stores. It's a favorite pass-time of ours. I have lots of thrifted clothing to post about but it is currently being washed. One of my favorite finds was discovered at a little antique store. It fits my latest Mad Men fashion yearning.
It's a sweater clip that I found for $5! I can't wait to wear this in the fall with one of my favorite J Crew sweaters.

More thirft finds to come in the next few days.

I heart Mad Men

Today, RDog emailed me this link of Mad Men fashions. I love me some Mad Men and I love the fashions the ladies wear.

The coat in this picture looked very familiar.

I have a very similar one sitting in my closet at my parents' house. My mother found a vintage, 100% cashmere coat at Frenchy's when I was a teenager. I loved it but never had the self confidence to wear it. It was just too different from what other kids were wearing. Now I could rock that baby. I hope, hope, hope it is still hanging in my closet back home.

I also love Betty's huge pearl earrings. I need to go on the hunt for those.
