We’ve all witnessed young children whining for things they want:

“I neeeeed an ice cream cone right now, Mommy.”
“Please, I neeeed it.”

And certainly at one time or another even we grown-ups have harbored similar thoughts to convince ourselves that our purchases are justified:

“I really need a new dress for the wedding.”
“I need a new pair of shoes to go with the new suit I bought yesterday.”

But of course, one of the hallmarks of maturity is being able to discern the difference between needs and wants.

And while hopefully you will never need a life vest or bulletproof vest, you may certainly want today’s VPOD.

This vintage 1970s long beaded vest is very similar to a white version I once owned that was poached out of my closet by my daughter and that still makes occasional appearances in New York and Chicago. This beauty has the same longer length and oodles of beads, but it’s even more versatile because it’s in black.

Fortunately the seller disclosed its one tiny flaw: a bit of torn lining near the hem. But that certainly won’t deter a stylish gal who has a seamstress on speed dial.

No, she’ll quickly grab this stylish find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Spanish Moss.
