Some fashionable Easter Eggs you may have missed in the 150th episode of 'The Good Wife'
The Good Wife's 150th episode was full of surprises -- perhaps even more than you may have taken note of during your first watch of the episode.
For the milestone episode, Costume Designer Dan Lawson dug into The Good Wife archives and pulled out some favorite pieces to pay tribute to the show's fashionable past and its eagle-eyed fans.
"I was asked by Michelle King, one of the creators of TGW, to think about putting some small pieces from past shows into our 150th episode as a little bonus for our fabulous fans to look for throughout the episode," Lawson explained via email.

"I knew I wanted to use pieces from Alicia's closet, as well as from Diane's and Cary's. I also knew that I wanted to use accessories that I thought would be personal pieces for the characters," he added. "I thought harkening back to our 50th and 100th episodes would be fun and sort of symbolic."
Finding the items from the past also came surprisingly easy, as Lawson admits he saves pretty much every item of clothing seen on the show.
"On TGW, we never know who's going to be coming back or when we are going to do a flashback. So like I said, I usually hang onto pretty much everything and it has paid off for me and the show very well," he says.
In total, there were seven callbacks: a silver/blue topaz ring Alicia wore in episodes 50 and 100, a pair of diamond studs Alicia wore in episode 50, a black Longchamp bag Alicia's sported a few times (including episode 50), a black coat Alicia wore in the pilot, a gold ring Diane wore in episode 50, an "X" pin Diane wore in episode 100, and a blue tie Cary wore in episode 50.
"I reuse pieces from time to time in the ladies' closets. Julianna and I love a 'repeat' or even a 'threepeat' as she calls them ... it helps our characters feel just that much more real and relatable," Lawson said.
The Good Wife is currently in its final season and has a mere four episodes left in its run.
It airs Sundays on CBS.
