Housewife Betty Draper

Well, it’s underway…the third season of Mad Men started off tonight with a bang. The only female lead character I haven’t talked about on here yet is the biggest one of all — Betty Draper.



On the surface, she totally looks like a stepford wife, but there’s so much more to her than aprons and feather dusters. You can read more about Betty on her Wikipedia page by clicking here.

Betty’s wardrobe is so much fun because it’s relentlessly feminine. Whether she’s baking a pie, slapping Helen Bishop across the face at the supermarket, or riding horses, she is unbelievably classic — very Grace Kelly — and everything she wears screams elegance and beauty.


I absolutely love this party dress for her — I can totally see her wearing it with pearls and a cardigan with a sweater clip.

When Betty wears a skirt, she goes all out in an incredibly full one, like this black and white print number. And she would pair it with a super feminine blouse, too, like this one.
