As a frequent traveler, I continue to explore ways to reduce the number of items I need to pack. Hence, I'm always on the lookout for multipurpose clothing that can be worn a number of different ways. Unfortunately, most of the clothing that can be worn as a skirt/shirt/dress combos that I've come across might work for a rail thin model but they looked just dumpy when worn by a more full figure petite woman. In the end, these fashion wraps have me so tied up in knots and layered up that I look like I put on at least 20 pounds. Also, in most cases, the fabric proved to be so see through that I could not even wear a breast shapers or nipple tape without looking like a train wreck instead of a fashion plate.
Then I put on the 8-in-1 Bamboo Wrap/Dress/Skirt from ANGeLRoX and found a garment that will take me anywhere. The eco friendly stretch bamboo rayon feels soft to the touch but is still thick enough that one could wear breast shapers for support in lieu of a bra without having the shapers show through the fabric. Also, the wrap can roll up and fit into the corners of a carry-on and then be taken out for a night out on the town without looking wrinkled.
As demonstrated on their video tutorials, the wrap can be styled into a variety of dress patterns, as well as some variations of a skirt, tunic or cape. Given I'm full figured, I found the styles that worked best for me tied in the back though with enough experimentation, one can find the style that works best for them. I found the coffee color worked very well for those looking for an item that could be easily dressed down with jeans or leggings and then add on a pair of dressy flats for a more formal look. Also, the scalloped edges add a nice elegant finish to the garment.
Pair this wrap with a scarf like the Maya Traditions San Antonio Scarf. I found the Passion Red color blends very well with the ANGeLRoX coffee colored wrap. By purchasing this scarf, you are helping Maya Traditions (http://www.mayatraditions.com/) to enable women from rural regions in Guatemala produce an income that will help them care for their families. Both the scarf and the wrap can be ordered online from Clean Spirited where one dollar from every order will go to a designated monthly charity.
To top off this outfit, check out the Switch Gearâ„¢ interchangeable jewelry sets. They come in 5 different compact kits that allow one to go from from casual to dressy in a flash. By switching around the various hoops, you can come up with a myriad of different options. So you can travel very light and avoid wearing the same jewelry day after day. Also, you can do good while looking good as 5% of profits from the sale of Switch Gearâ„¢ Interchangeable Jewelry Sets are donated to survivors of domestic violence.
