What Would Betty Drapers’s Closet Look Like?

One of the big draws to the show beside the incredibly handsome Don Draper is the period it is shot in and the fantastic wardrobes. Betty Draper was at her miserable best when she was married to Don but now that she is with Henry she has taken her “mommy dearest” roll and her wardrobe to the next level. She is every bit the perfect politicians wife and I often wonder what her closet would look like.

I picture a vanity  where she is applying make up and checking to see if every hair is in place. I can envision her sitting in her chaise lounge talking on the phone with a cigarette in her hand. There would be mirrors everywhere so she could catch her reflection at all angles. She would have multiple ways to store all of her jewelry especially her pearls and an amazing chandelier so the lighting would be just right. Fresh flowers would be arranged perfectly on her vanity next to a sterling silver brush set.  Her hats would be stored in boxes and handbags in a neat row.

I am sure we would all agree this closet would be a no kids zone unless they were summoned by “Betty Dearest”.

Finding Your Style//The Jumpsuit Reinvented

Jumpsuits2

My wardrobe staple this summer is the jumpsuit. It is the perfect piece that you can dress up or down. The jumpsuits of today are comfortable and can be worn for day or evening. Wedges are also everywhere for summer and if you are looking for comfort and style this will be your go to shoe.

Hoop earrings always look great paired with a jumpsuit and these by Jennifer Meyer are no exception. They add a touch of sparkle to any outfit. Add an affordable clutch and a cuff bracelet and that is all you need to complete the look.

My all time favorite lip gloss is Bobbi Brown’s Buff. I have used it for years and I layer it or use it alone during the day. Her new reformulated foundation stick is not only easy to apply but great to carry in your purse for touch ups through out the day.

Keeping it simple during the hot summer months is what this look is all about.
