I have found a new obsession: Mad Men. I know I'm late hopping on this train but I just started watching the first season and it was love at first sight... with the show's wardrobe!

The late 50's might have not been the best of times for a working woman or anyone who wanted to assert their female independence but they looked fabulous!

The structured dresses and skirts, the statement necklaces to make up for not showing any cleavage and the sexy pencil skirts... We still carry on a lot of the trends of the time of the show but it's still not the same.

Watching an episode will instantly make you feel frumpy for wearing jeans and a cardigan on a Saturday at home and while there are still plenty of wonderful clothes today, the show's wardrobe, which is mostly vintage finds, makes it clear how much more durable and high quality the clothes were back then.

Since there's no way we can go back to those more innocent and chic times, we can still try to bring a little bit of it onto our 21st century wardrobe.
