Mad Men Style Wiggle Dress


Hi guys and dolls,
I always swoon over the dresses that the secretaries wear in the TV drama, 
Mad Men, set in the 1960s. I love dresses with collars, bows and pussy bows so when my mother got me this wiggle dress a couple of years ago, I squealed with delight! I've worn it to work but it's also perfect evening/cocktail attire. For you lovely readers, I slipped it on yesterday and pulled out my notepad.
 My typewriter was out of order ;)

Ciao bambole e bambolotti,
Impazzisco per gli abiti delle segretarie nella serie TV, Mad Men, ambientata negli anni sessanta. Impazzisco altrettanto per i vestiti che indossano le donne nelle serie Il Paradiso delle Signore e Velvet. Come si resiste ad un vestito con un colletto o un fiocco? Per questo ho fatto un salto di gioia quando mia madre mi ha regalato questo vestito a tubino con sia colletto che fiocchetto! Ho subito tirato fuori il mio block notes. La mia macchina da scrivere è fuori servizio ;)

It's incredible how the cut of this dress and the belt make me look much thinner than I am! I did squeeze the belt real tight ;) Often, modern dresses make me look like a blob. It's really true that old fashioned dresses are flattering.

Stressed out secretary (my hair looks stressed out too).
This is how I sit and take notes. It's a very comfortable position.....

Posare come una pin-up è come fare lo yoga avanzato.
Ho usato muscoli che neanche sapevo di avere! :D

******************************************************
I tell ya, attempting pin-up poses is like doing intense yoga. 
I used muscles I didn't even know I had! 

Gotta rush! I think Don Draper wants more whiskey.......

Mad Men Inspired Secretary Outfit

I am a Mad Men afictionado. This American TV series is set in the 1960s at an advertising agency and the clothes the characters wear are out of this world!  Do you watch the show?

I watch it for the clothes, the music....and Don Draper. <--Click on his name to see a picture of Don preparing a martini.

Sono una grande fan di Mad Men. Questa serie TV Americana è ambientata negli anni '60 in un agenzia pubblicitaria e i vestiti che indossano i personaggi sono fa-vo-lo-si. Voi seguite questa serie? 
Io la guardo per gli abiti, la musica....e Don Draper.


What do you think, do I look like Peggy Olson??
