I adore this series and this expert in particular, I wish she had some sort of web series

Agreed. I love fashion history. Had I not had to get a "viable" degree, I would've studied fashion history.

I loved so many of Meghan’s and Betty’s outfits.

I’m halfway through season 5 but already got spoiled by watching YouTube think pieces 😅

ETA: sorry I didn't read the part in your post that said you were halfway through season 5.

I LOVE the shirt Megan changes into in the episode 'Dark Shadows'

Peggy had the cutest, most wearable today looks as the series progressed. I feel like I was generally too distracted by how hot Christina Hendricks was whenever she was onscreen to give an objective opinion about Joan tbh? I'm a sucker for any variation of a beehive? Megan got to have some nice, second wife of a rich man looks. I liked Betty's silhouettes, they were usually extremely flattering, but obviously her style was the most dated and conservative. I miss the Tom and Lorenzo mad style posts!

The women were the best characters on this show. Too bad Matthew Weiner ain't shit.

I don't think Mad Men was as groundbreaking or wonderful as some people thought it was, but at least they were devoted to the looks and feel of it. More shows should invest in that.

I miss MM posts.

I think my favorite outfits from the show were pretty much everything Joan wore in the last season, and that outfit that Betty wore in s3 after returning from Rome.
