To Work

Be charmed and challenged by this quote from British filmmaker Derek Jarman: “...You should go to work every day with the same excitement and anticipation as if you were going to a party.”* Do we? Could we? Let Jane’s Vanity help make it happen, with free-spirited clothing that feels like a party all day.

Whatever our metier, we can wear a gorgeous bra. Why not one that conjures a Venetian Carnival? Lise Charmel’s Fete de Venise Lingerie Set is both comfortable and thrilling in floral print navy mesh embellished with lavish appliques.

Cashmere is a friend for many job descriptions. Zynni’s little Cashmere V-neck Sleeveless Shell looks right with a tee or alone, paired with a suit or favorite jeans. In purple, emerald, or periwinkle. Dana Pisarra provides the invigorating simplicity of embellished long-sleeve cashmere tops. We’re dressed in a moment with a choice of the Romantic Naturale Sweater in winter white, the Romantic Cashmere Top in beige, or the Ram Cashmere Top in cozy grey.

A swingy Klements silk print dress works as hard as we do. The A-line thigh-length Frieda version stands on its own in the boardroom or layers over pants for the studio. We adore the short sleeves, deep pockets, and possibilities for layering over bodysuits or clingy tops. The full-length sleeveless Patti version makes an easy (and spectacular) transition from day to evening.

We love our work. And love to dress for it in apparel from Jane’s Vanity.
