You’ll never look at dinner the same way again after seeing the fabulous documentary Food, Inc.. It’s final thought: “You can change the world with every bite.”

Yes, little ol’ YOU!

With every bite you take, with every dollar you spend, you vote for what you believe in. And all those little votes can add up to big change in the world!

And you know what? You do the same thing with every dress you buy and every dollar you spend on fashion.

Yes, little ol’ YOU!

For instance, one of the key Fall 2009 trends is daytime sparkle. Sequins and beads aren’t just for evening anymore! So take a look at today’s VPOD.

This 1960s beaded bolero vest probably accompanied an evening gown that is now nowhere in site. All alone, though, this beauty is a great separate for day. Can’t you just see the possibilities with denim or gray flannel, a pencil skirt or trousers?

But, when you purchase a vintage item like this as opposed to a brand new fall 2009 piece from a large retailer, you support a small business owner who will keep the revenue in their community and keep one more item from being put into a landfill. Plus you take a much lighter step toward your total 2009 carbon footprint since the resources used in its manufacture were sunk in the 1960s.

And that makes it a very eco-chic find for a vintage fashionista!
