Channelling Mad Men - The Secretarial Pool


I have firmly caught the Mad Men bug, especially now that it is available on free to air TV in Australia (8.30pm Thursday nights, SBS).
Here is my homage to the secretarial pool:
Black pencil skirt - so old I can't remember where it came from. White polyester (I know... I know...) sheer blouse thrifted from Hunter Gatherer eons ago.
As always the devil (and charm) is in the details. The micro-pleat texture never needs pressing (purfect for this Kitten, who lacks any skill with an iron) and ruffles on each sleeve is mirrored in the high neckline too.

The decorative button and bow detail on the front ties in nicely with the functional buttons down the back.

All I need now is a note pad and pen.... take a letter Miss Verve....

Enter This!

The eternally cool and super stylish Super Kawaii Mama is running the BEST competition this side of the 1960's.

Taking inspiration from the award winning TV drama Mad Men, SKM has put the call out for YOU to send her your very own Mad Men styled outfit.

Set in a Madison Avenue Advertising Agency in the 1960's, Mad Men encapsulated the style, social and political attitudes of the day. It's compulsory viewing, especially for vintage enthusiasts.

More information can be found here.

So get styling and send your photos or video to Super Kawaii Mama before May 4th. I'll show you some of my own submissions at a later date.
