It’s time for my next installment in the series, kiddies … we’re looking at the styles of Mad Men ahead of the August 16 premiere of season 3.
This time, I wanted to take a look at Peggy Olson, who is a Junior Copywriter at Sterling Cooper.

Peggy defies all of the conventions of the time period by getting ahead in the male-dominated world of advertising. You can learn all about Peggy’s character from Wikipedia by clicking here.
And since Peggy is all about trying to shine in a man’s world, there is usually a definite Katherine Hepburn feel to her clothes — she’s all business with a hint of femininity.
I love this silk geo-print bow blouse from Banana Republic– very librarian chic.

This maya skirt from Lulu’s would be a perfect counterpart to her other pieces, which usually feel more masculine.

I love the details on this shirt jacket from Express. The tie waist, the pockets, and the black piping take it from bland to gorgeous.

And I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Peggy carrying a handbag, but if she did, I bet it would be a very classic style like this one from Ann Taylor. A little pricey for me but an investment piece for sure.

I think Peggy would also pick classic styles when it comes to shoes as well, so these suede pumps by Sam Edelman would probably be right up her alley.
