VPOD: Victorian Embroidered Cape


victorian embroidered cape

With today’s VPOD being a beautiful exception,
there are some things that should remain in the past.

A yearly ritual for me as the New Year approaches is to take a moment
and consider those things I should leave behind like…

…Beliefs that no longer serve me.
…Projects that should be abandoned.
…Slights that should be forgiven.

Unlike beautiful clothing from the past, these aren’t worth preserving.

What will you be leaving behind in 2014? Tweet me here.

Available at Byronesque.

VPOD: Vintage 1970s Cotton Victorian Style Maxi Dress Gown


vintage 1970s cotton victorian style maxi dress gown

vintage 1970s cotton victorian style maxi gown

Tonight is the long-awaited Madonna-themed episode of Glee where the cast will perform Express Yourself, Like a Prayer, 4 Minutes and Like a Virgin. It’ll be interesting to see the glee-club interpretation of these tunes, especially Like a Virgin. After all, Madonna put herself on the map with this video by turning its ambiguous lyrics into her first #1 single on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Today’s VPOD, a vintage 1970s Victorian-style cotton maxi dress is reminiscent of the wedding gown that Madonna wore in the beginning of her Like a Virgin video. But even this matronly, conservative, yes, even virginal frock can be turned into something a little more hip and current with the magic of styling.

Add shimmering gold flats, long flowing beads and a smashing headscarf and boring becomes boho.

It’s a transformational find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Chi Chi and the Greek.
Discovered at TheFind.com.
