Look out America. The fourth season of Mad Men started this past Sunday and that means plenty of vintage fashion eye candy on Sunday nights. This popular and highly acclaimed television series is becoming known as much for its clothes as it is for its characters!
In fact, this year AMC has teamed up with Banana Republic for a casting call contest in which one lucky winner will receive a walk-on role in a Mad Men episode. Full contest details are available here but in a nutshell here’s what you have to do to enter:
1. Get you entry code from a Banana Republic store while supplies last.
2. Upload a picture of yourself showing off your Mad Men style.
3. Get your friends to vote for you between now and September 17th.
As an example, here’s an entry by the daughter of Naomi, a fabulous vintage clothing seller on eBay (and I’m sure she’d love for you all to click on this pic and vote for her budding vintage fashionista!)
Of course, if you plan to enter the contest, what you choose to wear will be tres importante! And today’s VPOD would be a perfect choice.
This beaded dress and matching cape from the 1960s is simply luscious with its yummy melon hue, beaded fringe trim and shoulder bow.
It’s a Mad Men-inspired find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Shrimpton Couture.
