About a month from today, athletes from the around the world will converge in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Men and women will speed on skeletons, skis, bobsleds, and skates. They’ll curl and shoot and launch their bodies off ski jumps at almost 60 mph. And while these games will be green with the Vancouver Olympic Committee’s efforts at sustainability, all that ice and cold and snow turns my thoughts to blue.

Icy blue and cream, to be exact, like in today’s VPOD. It’s one of my favorite color combos for winter and this vintage Sarmi gown uses it with perfection. The touch of sparkle and shine, the snowflake-evoking motif of the fabric, the unexpected diagonal hem—I’d say this is one cocktail ensemble that deserves a gold medal for style.

It’s a lovely lady-like find for a vintage fashionista!
