We all like to think that we’re in control when we get dressed for a night out. But sometimes a gal just has to admit that she’s powerless and the dress is the one that’s in charge.

That’s right. The dress!

Take today’s VPOD for instance. This fantastic vintage 1970s jersey dress by Holly Harp dictates that you either have short locks or wear your hair in an up-do. No use pouting, whining, whimpering or arguing about it. This dress will exert its magical powers until you either pick up the scissors and start chopping off your tresses or start bobby-pinning like a madwoman.

After all, the amazing draped back with its dangling beads just must — MUST — be shown-off. And in this case, a gal’s just gotta do what the dress says to do.

Which is perfectly fine for a vintage fashionista!
