For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this week marks the official beginning of fall. On Tuesday, at 5:18 pm EDT, we’ll experience the fall equinox and surely be reminded to change the batteries in our smoke detectors.

But it’s also a reminder for fashionistas to take stock of their winter wardrobe, pull items out of storage and start their closet switcheroo from breezy summer fare to heftier fabrics. It’s also a fine time to add an item or two to freshen your look. And today’s VPOD would be a fine choice.

This late 1970s Jean Varon by John Bates border print dress is bursting with autumn shades and voluminous sleeves. And it offers styling options galore! Just switch it up with different belts, boots, jewelry and jackets.

It’s a Jean Varon gem for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Past Perfect Vintage.
