Style Inspiration - Mad Men

I may have spent this last Sunday lying in bed with a bag of Easter candy, alternating between naps and episodes of Mad Men on my trusty Netflix. I don’t know about you, but I would call this a pretty successful day. I was up way too late on both Friday and Saturday night so there really wasn’t much hope in accomplishing anything productive. However, I could argue that nearly catching up to the current season of Mad Men is productive!

I find that when I watch this show, I spend the next several days daydreaming about what my closet would look like if I worked in the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. What I wouldn’t give to be Joan Harris, just for a day! And how amazing would it be to see Don Draper in a fitted suit cruising by my cubicle. Even though these fashions are coming back into style, I still think I would look a little out of place if I wore them in my mostly-casual office.
