What to Wear: Mary Tyler Moore #1
The wardrobe on Mary Tyler Moore is impressive not only for being relatively timeless considering the decade (there are a few bell bottoms in the mix) but also for being pretty realistic.

Here’s a modern take on one of the favorite outfits: knit dress with scarf!
Dress – A plum-colored swing sweater dress is a perfect office staple.
Scarf – A bright silk scarf from Pucci.
Pumps – In black suede with a hidden platform and sensible heel.
Trench – Classic for fall.
Sunglasses – From Forever 21.

Some time later I was so pleased to see Mary wearing the same dress in a dark color (maybe navy blue) in one of the episodes. Yes, she was really one of us, single working woman, living alone in a big city.
