Were you all stoked for the Mad Men premiere Sunday night? I definitely was. I’d been in Louisville visiting friends and parents, and upon discovering that my parents actually have a television and hence, I’d be able to watch it with the rest of the television-having world, I jumped for joy. In any case, here’s what I wore Saturday, in honor of Betty Draper. [Of course, now she's married to a politician so she's wearing a lot more suits, which aren't as fun.]
Blouse, vintage
Skirt, Tulle
Hat, vintage
Shoes, DV by Dolce Vita [on sale, y'all. seventy percent off.]
Two-finger ring, H&M
Circle ring, Avon
I’ve had this shirt for years. Seeing it in the photograph makes me think I need to take it in on the sides. It is polyester, meaning I was sweating my heart out in the ten minutes it took me to take this group of photos.
I got this hat at my favorite local vintage shop, which unfortunately doesn’t have a web page or an online store – pity! I bought about ten hats for four or five bucks each on that day, and I wish I wore them more often.
I ordered this Tulle skirt in both blue and black. I’m loving the shape, but I think they need crinolines to avoid looking droopy. I’m looking for a crinoline in an appropriate length. [Do you have one to spare? Hook a sister up.] My bandmate Hilly also bought the blue one. I think I smell a new band uniform.
The two-finger ring was an impulse buy at H&M. I call it my legal brass knuckles. The circle ring came from a friend of mine who sold Avon in college – she gave me some of her old sample jewelry.
I am now officially the girl who buys shoes on her lunch break at work, as you already know. I’m not wearing them on my commute or on regular office days, but I did wear them out to a bar and out dancing Friday and Saturday night, and my feet didn’t get too sore. I can’t wait to wear them with colorful tights peeking through in the fall.

You know I love Tulle… and that skirt! Did you see next Tuesday is the last Tulle’s day sale? It will be a 48 hour one though, so you don’t have to get up at 3 a.m. for it (I totally still will).
I love those shoes and they will be amazing with brightly colored tights this Autumn. I really want it too be late-September already. I need cooler weather.
