Vintage Pick Of the Day: Fall Frock


When the sun’s a-blazing and the air conditioner blasting, lightweight summer sundresses hold great appeal. But if you can wrench your thoughts away from staying cool long enough to look at a calendar, you’ll realize that Labor Day and Back-to-School are just eight weeks away. And that means falling leaves and cooler temperatures won’t be far behind.
So while you’re enjoying the dog days of summer and the summer sales that are so abundant this time of year as stores clear out their inventory to make way for all that new fall merchandise, you may also want to trade your sun visor for the proverbial fall thinking cap.

For instance, today’s VPOD features a vintage 1950s cotton dress with an easy-breeze summer style. But at the first hint of frost, you can pull a quick presto-chango and accent its marigold print with a belted cardigan and leggings. Or perhaps a blouse, blazer and tights. Voila–the summer sundress becomes a go-to fall frock.

And that makes it a very versatile choice for a vintage fashionista!

Synergy Organic’s Eco Friendly Dresses

synergy-organic
Until recently organic clothing was rare and hard to find. Now I’m starting to see it everywhere. It seems, however, that a lot of organic lines are still not at a price within my budget. But hopefully that trend is changing.

Synergy Organic seems to be one notable exception to this, with organic summer dresses and skirts that are no more expensive than what I’d pay for a typical non-organic summer dress. Synergy Organic’s line is made of SKAL certified cotton using low impact dyes and made according to fair trade labor practices.

In particular I love their hemp belted dress, which sounds like it would be horribly unattractive, but is actually very cute.  It comes in three different colors – I’ve just ordered the chocolate brown one, as I expect I’ll be wearing this dress well into the fall (maybe with my new boyfriend blazer or organic jeans).
