Can You Make Change?

The Maki by Trudy Miller

the maki!

They say that change is the only truly constant thing in life.

Which is why you’ve always been able to turn on a dime. To go from hard-ass negotiator to loving daughter to world-class hostess all in a day.

Clearly, a shape-shifter as adept as you are needs a closet to match. So it’s time to get friendly with the Maki, a novel little fashion invention from New York City-based Trudy Miller for Clinch Design.

Debuting in Boston at Turtle Boutique, the nifty thingamajig is part accessory, part clothing. Made of mesh layers (white eyelet for summer; black, red, or tan for fall), it can be worn as everything from a filmy dress or asymmetrical skirt to a funky shrug, vest, or elegant standalone collar.

And its simple design means that dramatically changing your look is easy.

Assuming you can find a moment between meetings, that is.

 
Available at Turtle, 619a Tremont Street, South End (617-266-2610 or turtleboston.com).
