I was really excited about getting this skirt from the last Inhabit sample sale, but now that it’s here, I’m not so sure. I mean, I actually like it a lot, my fiance HATES it because he says it makes me look wider than I really am. And he has a point. There’s a lot of material on this skirt, it’s layered, has pockets, and it’s a faux wrap, so I can’t really make it flatten out like I would be able to with a real wrap skirt (if that makes sense…). So, I don’t think it’s my most flattering look ever, but neither do I think it’s the worst…

What do you think? (I can’t send it back because it was a final sale, but I’d love to know what you guys think anyway)

Wearing with:
James Perse Casual u-neck
Robert Clergerie platforms

verre newyork Experiments

GEODE_E_G3[1].jpg

verre newyork is a small business which uses glass in its liquid form and applies it, drip by drip, to metal. We use nature as a guide when designing. Why glass? Glass is the quintessential modern material. Inconspicuous in nature, it can be created and recycled with no harm to the environment. Glass has just as much allure and luster as a gemstone, but can also come in a plethora of colors and shapes at no additional cost. We love glass so much it is not just what our jewelry is made of, it is also the key ingredient in our signature packaging. We’d like to put an end to the misconception that glass is less. Glass is more – more versatile, more eco-logical, more bang for your buck. Please check out our site at www.verrenewyork.com

Sincerely, Jessica Panza and Julie Burton – verre newyork design team.
