I work in an ad agency so I have a particular fascination and love for the TV show Mad Men. I also love the fashion silhouettes from this era, very feminine dresses in flattering shapes. The retro and sophisticated style from this show can positively influence your home decor and fashion style. We had fun taking this shot, a bit of silliness pretending to be a 60s housewife with an unplugged iron!
A few retro pieces will give you that great 60s vibe while still being modern and relevant. Try a retro 60s style chair, sofa, artwork, or lamp.

Joan is my favorite female character in the show. She knows everything, is the go to problem solver in the office and always looks flawless.

Another classic shaped dress from Karen Walker, I feel very girly and feminine whenever I wear this one. The little red belt accentuates the waist and adds some dimension to the outfit. I love the clock in this interior pic, that plus the wallpaper give this living room that retro quality, but still has a contemporary feel.

Last comparison pic, an uncommon but great colour combo - orange and turquoise. I bought this dress from the Auckland City Designers Market where you can get some totally unique and original fashion pieces. Check the retro cabinet in the background of the interior pic, you can buy these for relatively cheap on auction sites or from second hand stores. Another great idea is to buy old chairs and recover them with fresh new fabric. As I've said I'm not a great DIYer but if there was any project I'd really want to try it would be to recover a funky old chair like this one. After a bit of a search around I really like the simple to follow instructions from Just a Girl blogger on how to reupholster a chair.
I really love all of these outfits, but the blue and white one is definitely my favorite. And I absolutely love how you've paired your outfits with matching home decor photos! It's such a great and unique way to show off your style (which is pretty great!).
