If you know me, you know that I love Mad Men.

I’m pretty proud that I was one of the first people to discover it, way back in the spring of oh-seven when it premiered on AMC (before that if you count me salivating over the ads). To be fair, a show made by the classic movie channel set in an early sixties advertising firm surrounded by vintage office equipment, mid-century furniture, fabulous fashions, saturated colours, excellent writing, and some very good actors (including former cast members of pretty much all my favourite TV shows and movies, ever) combines ALL of my favourite things in the universe into one beautiful little package – wrapped up in ribbons and bows like a present just for me.

So when Joan Holloway (also known as the sexiest character on TV) strutted across the screen in a cute little capris, and boat-neck sweater outfit I was pretty much instantaneously jealous.

Until I remembered I have pretty much that exact outfit sitting in my mid-century, walnut, tallboy dresser:

Yeah. It was totally meant to be, this outfit and me.

P.S.: I am thinking of dying my hair red.
