Dress the Part: Sexy Sixties Secretary

Old School is back as we see designers drawing more and more influence from the styles of yesteryear. Shabby Apple’s Manhattan line exudes flirty with 60s-esque dresses synonymous the sexy secretary and demure housewife looks we see on retro shows like Mad Men. The dresses are all about form-fitting bodices paired with fuller skirts allowing them to be worn around the office and on social occasions. A personal recommendation goes to the Madison Avenue dress, which is made up with a black and white houndstooth material and trench coat detailing. Another particularly notable piece is the Fifth Avenue dress. This piece consists of a pencil skirt dress decorated with a high-waisted giraffe print “skirt” and a pleated neck line. In addition to these impressive looks, the costs reflect a company who desires quality craftsmanship without outstanding costs. The dresses start at $72 and always stay under $100. Times are tough and while saving is important, it does not mean that style has to be sacrificed. Wear these styles to the fullest and pair them with bright red lips and pearls exemplifying the retro look!
