It’s been about a decade since I traded the security of a Fortune 500 professional position for the far more exciting ecopreneurial lifestyle of unsteady paychecks and daily emergencies, but I still remember the best piece of advice I ever received while in the corporate world: Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. It’s so much more empowering to own and wear only five suits that make you look (and feel) like a CEO than it is to have a closet full of clothes that just won’t pass muster in a boardroom.

So take a peek at today’s VPOD. This 1980s Christian Dior suit is beautifully crafted. And while it definitely means business, the lovely robin’s egg blue softens the look for a more feminine feel.

It’s a darling Dior for an upwardly mobile vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage Secret.
