VPOD: Vintage 1960s Print It Mini Dress



Famed celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is answering questions from fans on Twitter. For instance, just look at this tweet from yesterday where she weighs in on the subject of floral prints:

IN try bold, 60s inspired florals not dainty or peasanty prints RT @ag00dfriend @rzrachelzoe -what do you think of floral prints? in or out?

And with that endorsement, I now present today’s VPOD. I mean, why settle for 60s inspired when you can have the real thing?

This late 1960s mini dress in navy and white linen has a floral print that evokes the spirit of Marimekko. Don’t you just love how the flowers grow in size as they move down the dress? It packs a whole lot of style into something with a price tag under $65!

And that makes it an exceptional find for a vintage fashionista!

VPOD: Fanciful Fall Floral



Who ever said that floral prints were just for Spring? This season they’ll be blooming long past Labor Day. Christian Dior, Oscar de la Renta, Roberto Cavalli, Dries van Noten, Vivienne Westwood, Catharine Maladrino…it’s hard to find a designer not showing florals for fall.

Of course, sporting your roses or lilacs or lilies in October will require a few styling shifts. You’ll want to play with silk winter turtlenecks, boxy jackets, cardigan sweaters and textured tights (which is waaay more fun than playing in the snow).

And fortunately, floral-print dresses are an easy vintage find. Today’s VPOD is a fine example. This 1950s version has elbow-length sleeves, an oversize bow at the waist, a tulip-shaped skirt and a vibrant blue and white rose print. Me? I’d just love to pair all that femininity with a biker jacket!

But however you wear it, it’s a fanciful find for a vintage fashionista!
