VPOD: Vintage Laura Ashley Southwest Print Skirt

vintage 1970s laura ashley southwestern print skirt close-up

Yesterday my neighbor on the right headed off to the Grand Canyon, and today, my neighbor on the left headed off to Yosemite. These national parks may be owned by the government but they belong to the American people and each year I am thankful that early presidents like Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln had the forethought to set aside these lands and restrict them from most development.

Millions of Americans will spend their 4th of July weekends at national parks this year while millions of others will celebrate in their own backyards. But wherever you are, I hope that you’ll surround yourself with green this holiday. I know, I know, this patriotic holiday is traditionally about red, white and blue but it’s definitely time to add some green to that mix.

There’s lots you can do to be green without detracting from the fun. Can you and a friend carpool to the barbecue? Can you set up a recycling bin next to the trash bin at the cookout? Can you use eco-friendly picnicwear? Can you buy your salad fixings from local farmers instead of big agribusinesses? Can you choose the propane grill over the charcoal grill?

With very little effort you can help make this holiday red, white and green! And you can do it all in style in today’s VPOD.

This vintage skirt by Laura Ashley has a fun southwestern print with red, white and teal that puts an interesting twist to the ol’ red, white and blue. Add a crisp white halter or tee and some strappy sandals and you’ll be the hostess with the most-est.

It’s a fun summer find for a vintage fashionista!

Available from ezearl2 on eBay.

P.S. Best wishes for a safe and happy 4th of July! The VPOD will return on Tuesday, July 6.

VPOD: VIntage 1970s Laura Ashley Corduroy Cape



While gurus and self-help books may advise you to live in the present, vintage fashionistas know that it makes good financial sense to think one season ahead. Now’s the time to be scouring thrift stores and websites for the pieces you’ll be wearing this fall.

And yes, I know it’s tough to think wool when the temperature is screaming cotton, but when you spy something that stops you in your tracks, you simply must–must–buy it when you see it! I’ve never truly regretted any vintage purchase I’ve made since I can always give it away to a friend, sell it on eBay or consign it with a shop if I change my mind. But, oh, how I’ve regretted some of the pieces I let get away!

Today’s VPOD is a perfect example of an off-season find that is sure to become a favorite down the road. With this early 1970s corduroy cape by Laura Ashley in hand, you can cross this trend off your fall must-have list. Casual enough to throw over jeans, it has just enough style to pair with tweed trousers or a wool skirt, too.

And that makes it a versatile fall find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage-A-Peel.
