Didn't I tell you I was going to wear a Mad Men-inspired outfit to the office yesterday? Didn't I? I do think I did! :)
As always when I'm inspired by a particular look, I don't see it as if I'm going to a costume party dressed as someone else - I try my best to pick out elements from that look and then put my own spin on it. If I don't feel like myself, I've done something wrong.
Here, I suppose I was going for a groomed, put-together, proper yet sassy vibe. The paradox of the 1960's working woman: flirtatious versus professional, vain versus competent, fashionable versus respected. I'm not sure how well I succeeded at that, but I did feel extremely swell all day long! And that was the main goal. So, I dare say: mission accomplished.
You look so demure and pretty! The socks are such an adorable touch. Love how you went Mad Men-esque at the office. Very pretty outfit, Annika!

ReplyDeleteSweden must be heaven! It was so hot in NYC today I could barely survive in a tiny tanktop and capri leggings (yoga class outfit).
ReplyDeleteYou look really pretty and the outfit is adorable, although I wouldn't be able to copy this look for another two months!

Thanks x
You look positively gorgeous! I love your outfit, particularly the skirt :) I'm definitely jealous that you have the weather in Sweden to wear your outfits - I practically die every time I leave the house, even in just shorts and a t-shirt! Maybe that explains why I'm such a hermit in the summertime....
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous, as always. I love the subtle curls/waves. Is that its natural texture?
Gorgeous outfit! I love the skirt, and I don't usually like high-waisted skirts.
