You may love silk but did you know that according to a University of Illinois report quoted at PETA’s Media Center, about 3,000 silkworms die to make every pound of silk?

Now, I’m a gal who refrains from harming animals whenever possible. I’m one of those people who has a cup under her sink labeled “Bugs” for capturing and releasing to the great outdoors the myriad insects and spiders who dare to share my home. And while I’m still willing to wear vintage silk, I won’t make any new silk purchases. No way, no how.

But if you want to refrain from wearing silk entirely, you can always choose a fabulous polyester item like today’s VPOD. This vintage 1970s blouse has the most fantastic combination of neutral tan, grey and black along with a feminine side bow.

Plus it’s waaaay easier on the budget than silk, setting you back less than three $10 bills!

It’s a lovely and inexpensive find for a vintage fashionista!

Available from Adore Vintage.
