I love shopping for home decor as much as the next person, but there’s something in me that hates to pay more than I need to. That usually means scouring my favorite second hand sources. Not to say I’m against paying full price; Take my curtain search, for instance. That was a case of knowing exactly what I wanted, and doing plenty of research to make sure I was getting the best deal.
What’s my dirty secret? You know when you drive past a house and they have a bunch of stuff on the curb? Most people drive by, but I’m known to stop and check it out.
What?! Don’t judge!
Anytime I can furnish my house for free, count me in. This past week I went for a ride with my pup, only to come home with this gem:
There’s a little bit of a chill in there air in Chicago this week, and it has me looking forward to fall. It’s by far my favorite season, so I can’t wait to break out some fall tones and fabrics.
These are my favorite Amy & Angie Vintage pieces with fall flair.
This lightweight fabric is perfect for transitioning from late summer to early fall:
Finally, my favorite outfits went to my favorite character in this week’s episode. Peggy looked so mod!
So obviously this dress was going to be high on my list of favorites:
This dress takes Peggy’s usual look and sort of pushes it a little further. The costume was custom created, so instead of finding an exact match, I looked for similar colors and that classic “Peggy” style (check for shop links in the caption):
I have to say, I loved so many more pieces from this week’s episode than I did from last weeks. Lots more color, and more pleasing patterns (in my opinion!).
Betty
I feel like Betty is really transitioning into the 1970s (in her own way) with more blouse/pant combinations and fewer dresses.

In honor of the very last episodes of Mad Men (sobs) I’ve decided to do a style post for each episode. Did you see something you loved in Sunday’s episode? Well you’re in luck, because I’ve found some great, similar finds on Etsy:
Peggy
My favorite from Peggy in this episode was her two-tone polka blouse that got hardly any screen time:
