MADChristmas

Want to know a secret?  I have actually never attended a tacky Christmas sweater party.  I know... I know.  Just add this demerit to my list of non-hipster things.  But to be honest, I wore enough tacky Christmas sweaters in my childhood that I don't really want to wear anymore.  (I'll try and dig up some while I'm home for Christmas).

Several weeks ago, a friend of mine said to leave this evening open because him and his girlfriend would be hosting a different kind of Christmas party... A Mad Men themed Christmas party.  Even though I have committed the ultimate fashion sin and have not seen an episode of Mad Men (its on my list okay!), I was incredibly excited.

I have been planning my outfit for days but just haven't had the time or energy to put together everything so I will definitely be making do with what I have.  But what else is a reformed shopaholic to do.  I have tons of 60s inspired clothing, and some pretty fantastic make up skills... and I am from Texas... I know how to tease my hair.

So if money were not an option, this would be the outfit I would put together.  I am so excited to wear my dress that I made to wear for my birthday party again.  I promise to get pictures this time.  I promise its way better than the ASOS dress I picked out.  The one thing from this selection (okay maybe three things I wish I had) are the green polka dot tights, the gloves, and of course those stellar YSL mohawk shoes.  Uh-mazing.

  2. Love that dress! I have a couple of nice LBDs but still feel the need for a showstopping fire engine red one, too.

    I have no tacky Christmas sweaters! This must be remedied. Off to find a pattern...

  3. I love Kate Spade stuff, so naturally those tights are amazing. I've never seen that show either, despite my love for fashion, but only because I hate TV. So I totally don't judge. ( ; Have fun at yo party! xo

  5. This website runs through a lot of the outfits on Mad Men. I found the show really boring to watch, so this saved me the trouble, at least sartorially.
