If you’ve been experiencing the intense heat wave creating record high temperatures this summer, probably the last thing you want to look at is anything made of heavy knit, wool, or tweed.

But global warming is not only making our hot days hotter. Oh no, no, no. While winters are becoming milder and shorter on average, we can also expect the effects of global warming to produce winter storms that will be heavier and more intense than in years gone by.

So even as you strip down to your camisole and fan yourself to stay cool this summer, it’s perfectly okay to turn your fashion thinking cap to what you’ll be wearing to stay warm come this fall and winter.

And one perfect addition to any fall wardrobe is today’s VPOD.

This knit wool kimono jacket from Bill Gibb’s 1975 Moon and Buddha collection will fit almost any size fashionista, and features a print of little buddhas and colorful moons designed by internationally renowned textile artist Kaffe Fasset.

It’s a ultra-cozy fall find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Swank Vintage.
