Personal Shopper: Channeling Joan Holloway

Reader Request


I wanted to see if you could offer me some help!  My husband and I have been invited to a “Mad Men” premiere party-and we get to dress up for it! Day to day, I’m really more a Betty.  I like the sweeter look, but I REALLY want to dress in the style of Joan.  My husband will be donning a skinny tie and the appropriate wear for the event-I want to be sure to match!  I’m 5’3”, 135, and not afraid of color or pattern.  


I'd totally do the Joan thing, too, if I was going to this party. This look perfectly channels Mrs. Holloway-Harris and even includes her signature pen necklace. It comes from Bluefly, Forever 21, Amazon, and ASOS.
