SS13 Trend – #60sSwing – Betty, Meet Marianne...

Outfit inspiration: Betty Draper, all dressed up and nowhere to go, firmly resolving to change her life and make it the one she wants. When will it happen? When it does, this is what she’ll be wearing, cutting loose, but in ever-so-elegant style. The (5.) beatnik Chelsea boots in gold and (3.) oversized ring give this outfit a touch of the crazy (in a very good way) as do the floral (botanical – does that work?) (4.) capri pants. The (1.) bouclé  coat, while so sophisticated, hints at waywardness with its length in contrast to the structured perfection of the (2.) Marilyn shoulder bag by Raoul. The Sixties – dragging the prim and proper into rock n’ roll. Betty Draper re-interpreted as Marianne Faithfull, now that I would like to see.
