Mad Men Halloween
Everyone is talking about dressing as Joan. My co-worker says the Halloween store she went to was full of Joan wigs, although I didn’t see any where I went.
Team Sugar has some style ideas, with models and such; those models are so skinny they don’t fill out Joan dresses, but the designs are good. Shop Therapy suggests a ruffle sleeve dress that I think Joan would never wear. That’s So Boss has a very Joan dress suggestion, but I think you’d be better off forgoing the hair ornament.
Style List offers six dresses that are “Joan Holloway style.”
Jewelry Gal Blog is having a contest! Send a picture of yourself dressed as Joan and win a fabulous jeweled gold pen necklace.
The New York Times creates a fabulous, high-end version.

Basket of Kisses: The unofficial blog of AMC's Mad Men. Where all the cool kids meet & greet to talk about Don Draper, Janie Bryant, Christina Hendricks, Jon Hamm, Matthew Weiner, & subtexty things.

I think every ad agency in Manhattan asked its employees to come in dressed as Mad Men this year. Mine did.
