I looove this jacket, and the way that the whole outfit coordinates. I think it's a very 1960's thing to have all the little details be the thing that really "makes" your outfit. Also - beehive! I love beehives but my hair is too fine to tease much.
I think that this is a beautiful print on the dress, and if you enlarge the picture you might be able to get a better look at the gorgeous little brooch she has on. Again, I am very envious of the hair - I am not someone who can spend a whole evening (or hour) without a hair out of place, which is a shame because I am DYING to recreate this hairstyle!
Another evening look - I really wish I lived in a time where there were more opportunities to get really dressed up! I actually have a vintage fur jacket almost exactly like this, which I got from my grandma, that I wore for Boy's work ball, but I wish I had more opportunity to wear it - it's not exactly something I would throw on for uni! I love the jewellery in this picture, especially the necklace and the brooch on her coat.
If I am not mistaken, I think this is the guy that played Carrie's politician boyfriend in Sex and the City? Anyway, I think this dress is amazing because it's so unusual, and I love the colours together. I also love how it works against her complexion, she has such beautiful pale skin!
I'm kind of uninspired by the outfit on the right, to be honest (although I do like the print on the skirt) but I do LOVE the checked dress on the left. I want one immediately so I can lounge around and gossip about the neighbours!
Another wonderful checkered dress, and again the purse, shoes and hat all match. I think that this character is dressed up for church, but if I had this dress I would wear it All. The. Time. Even the dresses of the characters behind her are amazing (and all colour-coordinated with each other!).
So what do you think? Does this make you swoon?

that last dress is so cute, & just you are correct in your satc spotting! he was also gabby's husband on desperate housewives (where he also played a politician, heh) don't know if you watch that. oh & hilariously, do you remember samantha's first love dominic, the guy who broke her heart? he's blair's dad on gossip girl!
ReplyDeletehaha IS HE?? i always thought he was so fugly in that SATC episode, samantha kept going on about how gorgeous he was and i thought he looked like his face had been run over by a truck!
ReplyDeleteLove Mad Men, the styling is soooo beautiful! I think I need to invent the time machine just so I can get those clothes!
ReplyDeleteI think this is coming to regular TV (i.e not Foxtel) soon - I read something about it in TV Week. I can't wait to see this show everything looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis look amasing, something to download soon. The style is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteJoan, the character with the SATC guy, is amazing...
ReplyDeletedapper kid - when you invent your time machine can we also go to the 1920s? :)
ReplyDeletemiss karen - i hope so! and i hope it's on at a reasonable time, all the good shows are on sooo late on commercial networks!
cassie casserole - hehe, i love your name! and yes i need to watch it somehow!
annie spandex - grr you are making me want to watch it even more! :)
yes, I really need to see some of this show! I love sixties design, this looks great. I found an interview with the costume designer here, interesting read! I love your blog, I linked you!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the link to that interview, it was a really interesting read! i think it would be so much fun to style a period show.
