Mona Sterling


Oh, hi Betty! So nice to see you. How's Don? And little Sally?

What a hoot to run into you here! Yes, it's a fab boutique. When we moved out of the city, I was afraid I'd never find good clothes again. Just in case, I left Roger instructions to bury my ashes at Bergdorf.

That's a pretty dress. Where'd you get it? It's awfully snug; is it comfortable? Oh, this old thing? I picked it up last season. Roger says I can only replace my wardrobe every other year; he's not partner yet!

I'm on my way to the beauty parlor? Want to come? Yes, Gladys is a magician. The things she does for me. Men don't understand how hard we work to look good for them. It's a full-time job. Well, at least we get time off for cocktails.

Do you need a light? Yes, these matches are very cute. I got them at Henri Bendel. For all the money I spend there, the least they can do is give me free matches. Roger says Lucky Strike is going to put us on Easy Street soon. Fingers crossed!

I LOVE the gold sheen, the pattern, the sleeve detail, and the collar!! I wish I had a cute sentence to add in!

  5. What a fabulous suit! By the cut, it's mid- to late-90s (is it stretchy?). Love your patter!

    1. I've no idea when the suit was made. It's not stretchy at all.

  13. Very retro!! Ladylike to the max. I've never actually seen Mad Men, but I bet you could walk out on set and wow them.

  14. Wowzers, what an outfit! I've also never watches Mad Men, maybe I should start? You definitely inspire me to do so!

  18. You remind me a little bit of the queen in this outfit :) Really royal and sophisticated! I also LOVE the floral skirt a few posts down - I would love to have one exactly like that one!
