Oh, to live in the world of creative copy, sexy fashions and cutthroat business that is Mad Men! Set in 1960s New York, the stylized drama follows the lives of the ruthless men and women who ruled Madison Avenue advertising. Watching the dramas unfold is captivating, to be sure, but the spot-on period fashions and prop styling makes Mad Men a show to watch. The premiere of season three has me all atwitter, so today's Etsy Finds are dedicated to achieving a pitch-perfect 1960s look, whomever your favorite character may be.
Peggy Olson
Quick witted and fastidious copywriter Peggy Olson is determined to ascend the corporate ladder, her way. Though derided by office manager Joan Holloway for "dressing like a little girl," Peggy keeps her look classic, prim and professional. Play up your demure side with scarves, collared dresses and jumpers.
Joan Holloway
Who doesn't feel a bit inspired by the inimitable sex kitten that is Ms. Joan Holloway? As Sterling Cooper's presiding office manager, Joan is a bombshell to be reckoned with, ruling the secretaries with an icy stare (and the men with her curvaceous figure). Get her sultry look with form-fitting wiggle dresses, circle pins, and her signature pencil necklace.
Betty Draper
From the outside, Mrs. Draper appears to live a life of suburban bliss. However, beneath her carefully arranged strand of pearls and elegant circle dresses lies a ball of inner turmoil. Achieve Betty's genteel look with soft pastels, cocktail dresses, equestrian accessories and costume jewelry.
Don Draper
Protagonist, advertising wunderkind and man of intrigue, Don Draper never fails to capture the attention of those around him. Get his debonair look with skinny ties, form-fitting suits and a fedora.
