VPOD: Vintage Ralph Lauren Blazer and The Power in a Name


vintage ralph laurent blazer

I’ve got a HUGE confession to make to all of you…

I’m not who you think I am!

That’s right.

I exist as Mary Kincaid only because of a legal document in some courthouse in Ohio. You see, almost a decade ago I decided to change my name.

Not because I have any felonies under my old moniker. And not because I’m trying to hide from anyone.

It was strictly a branding decision.

I had come to a fork in the road and planned to follow the path that led to more speaking and writing opportunities.

Since I didn’t want any future success to be stamped with my ex-husband’s name, and I had yet to meet anyone who could correctly pronounce, yet alone spell, my maiden name, I paid a small fee and completed a wee bit of paperwork, and I was reborn as…

…Mary Kincaid!

And it’s funny how much more instantly ME I felt. Like putting on a dress that fit like a glove.

I imagine this is how the designer of today’s VPOD must have felt, too.

This bright vintage blazer was designed by Ralph Lipshitz. You know him better, of course, as Ralph Lauren. And be honest.

Aren’t you more inclined to embrace this blazer’s bright summer style when you see the name Ralph Lauren, not Ralph Lipshitz, on the label?

Uh-huh.

Just like you covet Halston or follow the shenanigans of Rachel Zoe more enthusiastically because they’re no longer Roy Frowick and Rachel Rosenzweig.

So while I don’t approve of name-calling, I’m perfectly fine with name-changing.

It’s just one more style tool for a vintage fashionista!

VPOD: Vintage 1990s Jean Paul Gaultier Khaki Blazer

You may be familiar with the expression “The devil is in the details” but I say “The MAGIC is in the details!

Especially when it comes to staple pieces in wardrobe-building colors.

Just because you are adding black pants or a navy skirt or a khaki blazer to your closet doesn’t mean it has to be ho-hum and boring.

Keep looking until you find the perfect piece with at least one amazing little detail that you love—even if you think no one else will ever notice it. Believe me, you’ll know it and that confidence will show in your posture and your personality every time you wear it.

Of course, sometimes you’ll find staple pieces with amazing details others can’t help but notice. Like with todays’ VPOD.

This vintage 1990s khaki blazer is by Jean Paul Gaultier and it’s anything but ordinary. In fact, it’s quite avant-garde while still somehow retaining its classic roots. I just L-O-V-E the sleeve detail!

It’s an amazing staple find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Claire Inc.
