Yesterday was October 10, 2010 or in shorthand, 10/10/10. Just think—we won’t be writing this date down again for 100 years!

And that got me thinking that Fashion has it’s very own 10/10/10 rule:

Good posture can make you look ten pounds lighter AND ten years younger AND can make your clothes look ten times more expensive.

Really! It’s true!

And here’s a perfect combination to prove it.

First, work on your posture. And if you don’t have years of ballet training under your belt to create the muscle memory that keeps you standing straight and tall, then I highly recommend Pilates training.

My brilliant personal Pilates trainer, Darien Gold, has two fantastic DVDs available to whip you into a lithe, balanced figure pronto.

Start with The First Seven and work your way up to the Intermediate Mat Repertoire. It will be impossible for you to ever slouch again!

Then grab today’s VPOD, a pair of low-heeled, perfect-posture-providing vintage 1990s pumps by Moschino.

Finally, pair them with any one of a host of bargain finds from the La Friperie Boutique Inventory Reduction Sale like these goodies:

Then it’s time to strut your stuff.

With a head held high, a straight back, and a take-on-the-world attitude, no one will guess that these little beauties can all be had right now for starting bids under $11!

And there’s no need to tell. Just let’em think you snagged them at your local vintage boutique with waaaay higher price tags.

And that’s how Fashion’s 10/10/10 Rule works for vintage fashionistas!

Available at La Friperie Boutique.

P.S. Hurry! The sale ends October 14, 2010.
