I'm a total Mad Men junkie and am obsessed with Joan and her role at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (I'm totally obsessed with Megan Draper (Jessica Paré) too, but we'll see more of MD later on in the week!).  I brought a few photos to the salon when I got my hair 'did and Christina Hendricks was on my hair vision board.  Did I say "hair vision board"?  Why yes, I most definitely did!

To recreate this Joan Holloway look, I've included a few key ingredients below to really  make this costume pop!

I also snagged inspiration from this genius batch of Joan paper dolls as well...

I used a dress that a reader sent my way to make my Joan look come to life!

I parted my hair to the side and pinned it up, put on my green dress, added some red to the lips and I was ready to go!
