I find lots of women think vintage clothing is all about flapper dresses, Mad Men-style clothing and dazzling evening gowns that celebrities model on the Red Carpet. But because modern clothing takes its inspiration from the fashions of decades gone by, vintage clothing is also about pieces that could easily play hide-and-seek and hold their own against the merchandise displayed at mainstream shopping stores like J. Crew, Banana Republic and Anthropologie.

Take today’s VPOD for instance. This knit wool piece from the 1960s is part sweater and part blazer. Play up the orange color for summer when you pair it with shorts. Then, in the fall, focus on the cocoa brown when you layer it with your favorite denim.

For under $60, it’s a bargain of a find for a modern girl who’s also a vintage fashionista!

Available at LA Vintage.
