Okay, so as you may know Joan Holloway is not a really person. Whatever, I still want it in this segment. Joan Holloway is strong, confident, sassy, office manager of Sterling Cooper Draper Price on the AMC series Mad Men. Mad Men is one of very favorite shows, and one of the many reasons why is it is set in the 1960's. Maybe it's just my untapped psychic abilities, but I have always felt I was once a darling housewife of the 1950's/early 60's...but I digress. One of the most popular characters on the show is that of Joan Holloway, as portrayed by Christina Hendricks.
Joan is sultry, yet professional. She oozes confidence and poise, and always know the right thing to say. I envy her. One of the most wonderful things about Joan, and Mad Men for that matter, is that Joan is always celebrated for her womanly curves. This is such a changes from the constant pressures of photoshopped perfection set forth to today's woman. What I especially love is that Joan is always perfectly dressed to show off her curves in a modest and tasteful way.
How can you get Joan's look? First, start with a structured dress. Joan tends to stick to solid jewel tones, that compliment her red hair and alabaster complexion.
One should finish off the look with office-appropriate, retro-inspired accessories.
