As we head into Thanksgiving, many a cook will be making a list and checking it twice. While these days it is possible to run out to a grocery store on Thanksgiving morning if you discover you forgot something critical for your dinner, the experienced cook always has a well-stocked pantry with all the essentials. And what works in the pantry works in the closet too.

Just like a cook is always reaching for sugar, flour and salt, a fashionista has wardrobe staples that she reaches for time and time again. And just like a cook will often splurge on the best imported ingredients that make a critical difference in the taste of a culinary masterpiece, a fashionista should not be afraid to invest in the very best critical wardrobe pieces that serve as the centerpiece of her go-to outfits.

Today’s VPOD certainly qualifies as one such item. This vintage 1980s military-style black wool blazer by Yves Saint Laurent is trimmed in braid with huge gold buttons and a whole heap of style.

It’s a fab fashion staple for a vintage fashionista!
