VPOD: 30s Rock

I was watching The Rachel Zoe Project last night and Rachel was talking about her two great loves: (1) her husband, Roger, and (2) the fashion world. And that got me to thinking about love and fashion.

Have you ever noticed that finding the perfect dress and finding the perfect man have a lot in common? While each task requires you to be proactive (dresses and men don't generally fling themselves at your door!), no matter how systematic your approach, there will always be an element of fate or luck in the process that you can't control.

And why is it that oftentimes the dress or the man that makes you lose your head is wildly inappropriate while the dress that looks great on the rack or the man who looks great on paper ends up being a huge disappointment?

And who can explain that element of chemistry that makes your heart beat and your stomach flutter to tell you when you've found the one?

Unfortunately, I can't point you to your perfect match in the romance department but I did find a dress that would score a first date with the potential for a long relationship.

Today's VPOD is a 1930s stunner in a to-die-for autumn color palette with a puffy, painted fabric that gives an almost three-dimensional effect. Those clean lines, a darling cape...I think I'm falling in love.

It's the start of a beautiful relationship for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage-a-Peel.
