Mad Women

If you don't know, Mad Men is a television series set in the 1960s.  It's received awards and critical acclaim for many things, including historical authenticity and costume design.

I'd say one of the most captivating things of the show is the fashion.  Maybe that sounds ridiculous, but if you've seen the show you know what I'm talking about.
(Not to mention the gorgeous Christina Hendricks.)

All of the dresses from today's post are brought to you by Mod Cloth.  The fashion of the 60s is undeniably gorgeous- and Mod Cloth is a great place to find everything retro.
So here are Joan, Betty, and Peggy of Mad Men- and how to channel their beautiful characters!


                                                                     
                                                                                                    

                             Joan Holloway
Christina Hendricks is clearly vivacious.  And a redhead. The clothes her character wears on Mad Men do nothing but accentuate that.  (Her curves, not her hair.)  This beautiful Sleek It Out dress gives off a great Joan-esque vibe.  Classy & sultry.








                                    Betty Draper
January Jones is a beautiful blonde- and her character is often compared to Grace Kelly.  Being the housewife of the infamous Don Draper, appearances are everything.  So to keep with her classic floral look, I suggest the Get What You Dessert dress.







                                    Peggy Olson
Elisabeth Moss is definitely made into a plain-Jane for Mad Men.  Her character Peggy isn't too fashion forward- but like I said, with 60s fashion you can do no wrong.  I love Peggy's simplistic looks that could be worn casually today.  To get this look, check out the Vintage Dancer dress.

I'll just leave this here...
