ModCloth has marked down Stop Staring’s Quick Wit Dress from $217.99 to $64.99. Wow! It actually has good reviews too, so they’re not just marking it down because no one wants it ;o) It’s not exactly a summer dress, but for work in an air conditioned office? I’d wear it. Or just buy it on sale and save it for the cooler months. It’s available in Medium and Large.

Wanna know where you can get this adorable nautical style vintage dress for cheap?

The Pencil Skirt is a staple in every vintage lover’s closet – it gives you a gorgeous hourglass figure, as shown by Marilyn in the above picture. I’ve got about 10 different pencil skirts in my closet – but most of them are regular black in different fabrics. So I went on the hunt for some unique yet still classy pencil skirts you could still wear to work yet show off your gorgeous curves!
Betty Draper’s style is perfectly coiffed and adorned. Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant describes Betty’s look as “… quite simple but so gorgeous. And you know, you still see women like this. That beautiful classic style from the period that they’ve carried on for their entire lives…”
Betty Draper definitely takes inspiration from Grace Kelly. To get her look just right, you’ll need a petticoat to get the skirt of your dress to flare out full-circle.
