I was driving to one of my favorite designer resale shops on Saturday when NPR’s regular programming was interrupted with breaking news of the tragic shooting in Arizona.

And while the press seems to be focused primarily on the anger and hate that may have contributed to the shooting, I think far more attention should be paid to the bravery and heroism displayed that day.

Hopefully many Americans will see this event as a Call to Action for them, for as Bill Clinton said after the Oklahoma City bombing:

“When there is talk of hatred, let us stand up and talk against it. When there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talk against it.”

And there’s no better way to stand up for your country and talk against violence and hatred than in good ol’ red, white and blue.

Today’s VPOD features a vintage 1960s daisy dress in just those patriotic hues.

It’s an eye-catching find for an American vintage fashionista!
