This is going to sound weird, but – I just started watching Mad Men. It’s possible that I’ve put off seeing this show because I knew I’d fall for it immediately. And, of course, I did.
Yes, yes – I know; way late to this party.
So forgive my shiny, new infatuation with a show that’s well past the honeymood period with it’s viewers. I simply can’t help it: Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks’ gorgeous face, period interiors – the clothing – Jon Hamm. It’s all soooo dreamy and soothing to look at.
However, it’s the period color schemes which appeal to me most. Muted and gray pastels, ruddy browns, a rainbow of vibrant greens and blues. A clever palette for a clever time.
Here is my fashionably late ode to Man Men, as inspired by artist Luli Sanchez’s textile designs.
Oh, P.S. – note there is a bit of a fashion faux pas in this collage. Usually not a good idea to wear trousers with shoes that are open-heel. The bottom of the pant leg will end up under your heel, and that’s not a good look. I just couldn’t resist these shoes because of their beautiful dark caramel color.
