My Most Favorite "Mad Men" Girls And Their Outfits

This Sunday one of my most favorite tv-shows – “Mad Men” – returns with the season 5 premier. While all the fans, myself included, are waiting this 2 hour season premier in anticipation, prepare special cocktails or parties, I decided to recall why I loved the show in the first place.

If someone would advise me to watch a show about the life and work in the sixties, I would laugh. As this is something I never was interested in. I am not too much into history, I love the times we all are living in and don’t want to be transported into any another year or century. I love it now and I think it is the most perfect time for everything. And even after becoming a true fan of “Mad Men”, I am still happy I was born in the 80s, although I do admit that it is fun to have a peak into sixties thanks to “Mad Men”.

I was hooked to these tv-series from the very first episode and even though I still don’t remember what or who made me watch these series in the first place, I loved everything about “Mad Men”. The fashion, the drama, the hair, the office – everything seemed to be so perfectly unreal to me. I couldn’t believe that only fifty years ago women were so dependent on men and their only possible career option was to be a secretary! And maybe that’s why “Mad Men” for me is not about Don Draper, but the three ladies and how they try to find their place in the society. These ladies are: Betty Draper (January Jones), Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) and Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss). I love everything about them, how they look, how they act, but most of all, what they wear! And here are some of my most favorite outfits (well, at least those I could find) from the show.

Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks)
