I just bought the gold blouse from the Gap last week and am dying to wear it during the holidays! The color is perfect for parties and going out and the fit is super flattering. Lately I can’t get enough of mustard yellow and gold. So pretty and elegant when paired with gray too.

If money were no object this is how I would style it. Basically some skinny jeans, heels, and red nails and you’re good to go!

Vintage clothing is a wonderful way to show your love of decades past. Wearing it gives you a unique one-of-a-kind look but if you aren’t careful you could end up looking like you’re headed to a costume party. Here are some of my tips for looking current while wearing vintage.

• Don’t dress in head to toe vintage. Keep it simple by wearing only one or two pieces per outfit.

• Dress for your body type. Particular decades are best for certain figures. If you’re pear shaped try a circle skirt or if you want to show of your curves go for a pencil skirt. Both were popular silhouettes in the 1950s. If your legs are your greatest asset then a 1960s miniskirt is for you. Finally,  a look that works on almost any shape is the 1970s wrap dress made famous by Diane von Furstenberg.

• Mix your vintage pieces with modern. For example you could wear a 1950s dress and pair it with contemporary shoes and a handbag.

• Incorporate clothing from the fashion era that best matches your personal style.

• Keep your makeup and hair current.

The spring cleaning continues. I have more brand new and gently worn clothes and accessories on ebay.

Since I organized my closet I have lots of items that need to find a new home. If you are interested, I am selling some of my brand new and gently worn clothes on ebay. These items end in just a few minutes to an hour and I’ll be adding more tonight.

I also have some of the Liberty of London for Target planters available.

Joan Holloway is Sterling Cooper’s resident bombshell. Her office style is sexy without showing it all. Think pencil skirts, bold shades, buttoned up blouses and figure hugging dresses that emphasize the waist. Oh, and don’t forget your red lipstick! To pull off Joanie’s look confidence is key.
