CONVERTIBLE CLOTHING with a NEW TWIST

You really should check out the NY Times, Jan 20, Thursday Styles:
Ruth La Ferla discusses "Convertible Clothing" - "Mr. Tran's sartorial shape-shifters are finding echoes these days at every level of the marketplace, from the playful variations offered by populist outfitters like American Apparel, Target and Victoria's Secret to the more rarefied styles of Albert Elbaz of Lanvin, who unveiled a resort collection last summer highlighted by daytime chemises that reversed for evening to ruffled chiffon or tulle. In a value-driven economy, fashions that can be tweaked to travel from workplace to gym and to cocktails are certainly compelling. And, this trend, once perceived as a novelty at best, is attracting a new generation of light-traveling frequent fliers and canny frugalistas."
The BEST PLACE to find these garments is a MIO Boutique in San Francisco on Fillmore Street (between California & Pine Streets) - ask for MIO or Linda and use the words "Convertible Clothing". Tell them "Suzie" sent you and hold on to you wallet . . . the place is (gloriously) dangerous!
