    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Motifs

    With a nick name of Miss Dottie (from the last name Dotson) I'm all about the POLKA DOTS!!! And green. When the two come together--it's enough to make me faint with joy! However, my rather newish married name Van Every has not inspired a love of vans.

    I don't know if I will be able to, but I love this sorta vintage dress Charlotte wore in "The Sex in the City". She makes it looks so effortless. I fear I won't. I just want a hint of vintage to sorta keep the dream alive, you know?
