So here we are in September already. Where did the summer go? For me, it seems like it never even really started. When I look back on the past three months it is more of a whirlwind memory. Although I enjoy the laid back lazy days of summer I am not a fan of the hot humid weather. Fall is my season. I wait patiently, as patiently as I am capable of that is, for the fall season to kick in. There is something about the cooler evenings and foggy morning. The array of colors in the trees. And of course the fall fashion. For me, there isn’t anything better than the tweed pencil skirts, the fitted cardigans, the plaids, the paisleys, the princess cut coats, and of course the scarfs. One can never have too many scarfs. I still believe that I could use and entire closet just for my accessories. My husband, however disagrees. Not that he thinks I couldn’t use it, but that he feels if I had one, I would have more motivation than needed to fill it. He is probably right. At that point, I would need to accessorize my accessory closet.
So, now that we are officially starting the fall season we find ourselves in need of yet another Ambassador of Vintage. In honor of the upcoming seasons, ( you noticed that is plural didn’t you), seasons being both the Fall weather season and the season premier of Mad Men, the September Ambassador of Vintage is Christina Hendricks.
Christina Hendricks on set for Mad Men
As a current red head I also appreciate another red head that is brazen enough to wear what society says are no no colors. Bring on the pinks, corals, and reds. Why not?
For all of you that love vintage style you have to appreciate what Mad Men has done for the style itself. Even Target is now carrying a vintage inspired line of clothing. Mad Men style, which is 1960′s style for those of you that are vintage or Mad Men newbies, is turning up every where. Not just the clothing, but also the jewelry. Since our Ambassador of Vintage for September is Christina Hendricks, I am also including a staple piece of jewelry for her character Joan Holloway. None other then the golden secretary pencil necklace.
Vintage Super Scribe Pencil Necklace as seen on Mad Men
How could you not love this necklace. Unique? Yes and no. More than likely should you get one most people will know that it is from Mad Men. But again, there are many reason to wear vintage. First and foremost because you love it. That is enough of a reason but there are many more. It is the “greenest” possible form of recycling. It shows a true love of artisans and the several different types of art styles that mix into vintage. Besides, anyone that sees it is going to love it right away and be super jealous.
The super scribe necklace can be found at a fellow Etsy members store by clicking on the picture above. The necklace sells for approximately $40.00.
They tend to sell out frequently. I believe pre ordering is now available.
