Vintage scarves are one of the great pleasures in life, don’t you think?

They come in every shape, color and size and you can find one to fit any budget. Whether you choose to tie one around you neck, wrap one around your head, tuck one into a pocket or attach one to your purse, they’re a great way to add color and style to any look.

Of course, if you decide to wrap one around your handbag, you should know that this “trend” is actually decades old. It was started by Barbara “Babe” Paley, one of the Top 20 Socialites of All Time according to New York Magazine as well as a woman who made the best-dressed list fourteen times before finally being inducted into the Fashion Hall of Fame in 1958.

All it took was one photograph of Babe with a scarf tied around her handbag and millions of women around the world followed suit. Today, every time I follow Babe’s lead, I think of this fashion icon who was fashionably dressed from her early days as a Vogue editor in 1940 right up to to her death in 1978.

If you want to channel a little of Babe’s style into your fashion life, then I suggest one of today’s VPODs.

These beautiful scarves are just a few of the more than 200 Vera scarves available at today’s featured site. And it just so happens that, right now, every single one is 20% off!

They’re scrumptious little treats for a vintage fashionista!
