Dolls, I just penned a piece on integrating Mad Men fashion into your lifestyle for my one of my other Internet homes (I’m swiftly compiling Internet homes like Brangelina collect brick and mortar ones!), The Style Glossy.

Out-of-circulation Shades
The women of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce rock charmingly muted hues we just don’t see any more — deep teal/green hybrids, creamy off-mustard yellows and cherry reds that border on orange. Invest in a few pieces sporting these colors — they look especially chic when you feature them in “now” styles like pencil skirts and caged gladiator heels.

Scarves
Skinny floral scarves boast a French air of je ne sais quoi without seeming stuffy. Pair one with a solid pink shift and you’ll need to tell your date to stop getting “handsy” at the drive-in.
