In Your Image

Image? Maybe we’re way past all that, as we take on the world in our pjs. And yet... January has rolled around, and we could all use a fresh sartorial start. Sometimes that can be achieved by introducing a single beautiful new item into our wardrobes. An inspiration. And lingerie designers are creating work that is truly that. Jane’s Vanity brings us their standout pieces. Let one be the core of your New Year look.

Transformation is not about coordinating. Nor about color or shape. It is about enhancing the way you feel in your skin. A certain piece can relax you, change your posture, make you smile. See what we mean:

A Bodysuit: Winter layering is tricky--sometimes bulky, sometimes comical. A bodysuit adds a bit of warmth, but also sleekness. The Coeur Bodysuit from Cadolle, with its long sleeves and sheer black mesh and lace top, is a happy example. Feel the power of its supportive and commanding presence, under sweaters or by itself.

A Slip Dress: Long and swingy, a slip dress is your everything piece. Cute as a jumper with a tee (and bra) underneath. Alone, it is simplicity itself as a liner for coats and cardigans. Christine Vancouver’s Darwin Silk Gown is perfect for adding and subtracting from morning until night. Try it with palazzo pants too.   

A Pretty Blouse: Your jeans are your buddy: properly seasoned and belted with flair. All they need is a drapey little blouse, stylishly tucked in. Wear this combo to feel happily ready for anything. Klements offers the collared Mildred Blouse in four versions: Bamboo Jungle, Fishpool, Magma, and Chihuahuan Desert.  

A Signature Scarf: JV has collected a wonderful variety of big silk squares. One of them says YOU. Check out the possibilities from Ika Paris, with its Mediterranean imagery and mellow colors. Or from Klements in mysterious designs that speak to your soul.

Be your image, in a few fabulous pieces. Enjoy wearing them, mixing them, and even hanging them up. Jane’s Vanity loves your new look.
