I have an unhealthy obsession with the show Mad Men. Not only is it incredibly well-written and exciting, I also lust after the fashions in the worst way. The one thing I covet the most are the skirts and dresses. It is hard to believe that women wore skirts and dresses almost every day just a few years ago. I want us girls to dress like that again!
Well, unfortunately I cannot dress exactly like Betty without being a total creep. However, I found some frocks that come close. Here are some dresses I found:
1. Staten Island Dress- $49.99 from ModCloth
2. Spot Through The Heart Dress- $64.99 from ModCloth
3. Senatorial Staff Dress- $54.99 from ModCloth
Now that I have found the perfect Betty Draper dresses, who would like to buy them for me? Anyone? Hello?
OOOHHHH and I got an award from B a la Moda today! Hurray! Thank you sooo much!
With this award I am supposed to name five guilty pleasures.
Totally kidding about the last two, ya’ll.
I would like to give this award to all of you! I literally LOVE all of your blogs… and I wanna read all of your guilty pleasures!
Stumble It!

I am totally enamored by Madmen….like, I want to LIVE in their world….sorry, but life was so much more interesting back then!! SO much less to worry about and at the same time….so much more! Love your Betty frocks….I will order them for you….with my grad school budget…

Hey Clare. Congrats on the award. That was so cool to see. I love Mad Men. I do love all the fashion and style up there. I do wish people dressed more the Drapers.
My guilty pleasures are embarassing! Hah! I love the second ModCloth dress. It reminds me of a dress I’ve been trying to track down for about the last 4 months here via online auction, unfortunatly to no avail…
Skirts and dresses are the best. <3

Look at you all Angelina Jolie with the awards this week. I just gave you one on my blog
i like the 3rd dress on right, which will make me feel all girlie gir. xo : )
Just saw your comment on Megan Fox, I totally agree that we can’t compare bodies to celebrities. They work hard for their body and job and it must be maddening – I couldn’t stand staying away from all of the goodies! ha ha.
LOVe the 2nd dress! Glee is a guilty pleasure of mine too
yay it’s Wednesday!
Loool, I love your guilty pleasures! And congrats on the award.
I haven’t seen Mad Men, but I have noticed some of the fashon from the show and the style is amazing.
Mad Men has the best skirts lol I love them!
those dresses are to die for! My guilty pleasure would definitely have to be any kind of warm apple dessert..apple pie or cobbler anyone
LOL the last 2 I was like, “um…ok…”
Congrats on the award, hon.
I LOVE pretzels! In Toronto, ours is called “Pretzel Maker” and it’s attached to a Mrs. Fields so I double pig out
I don’t watch the show but I do love their fashion!
I’ve been totally mulling over #2 for my bday. What a fabulous party dress!
