No Dull Moments or Dull Men Tolerated

 It's finally school holidays! Which means that I will hopefully be able to post more, although I still have a mountain of homework to attend to. This is being carefully avoided by watching the first season of Mad Men. I really enjoy it so far,  I daresay more for the costumes and set than the actual storyline. I do think it's good that there's a show that illustrates how advertisers manipulate people though, and how society is affected by the media. But Joan is the only character who really grabs me to be honest, and I tried to chanel her a little bit with this whole ensemble.


Wearing:
Dress - From a family friend (originally from Max)
Belt, Coat, Shoes - Borrowed from my Mother
Scarf - Made from a scrap of material
Bag - Second-hand Store
Gloves - Second hand store

It's all of a sudden gotten freezing cold, hooray for winter at last!

  1. GIRL you have the body to be a 80s-90s supermodel along with Schiffer, Campbell and the rest, back when models were still H.O.T.!! seriously I think like 1% of the female population has a body as gorgeous as yours. Wow.
    LOVING the red lipstick and ladylike attire too! and your comment on my blog was perfect, I TOTALLY thought of Dominique Swain's Lolita when getting dressed! thanks!
