She’s No One-Trick Pony

Mary Meyer Fall Collection

You’ve noticed a trend: Your credit card debt rises in direct proportion to the amount of wear-them-once items in your closet.

Time to invest in something more flexible?

Look to Mary Meyer’s current collection. The Brooklyn-based designer’s cotton jersey and wool knit pieces are the perfect addition to any wardrobe and are versatile enough to wear over and over.

The pencil dress with a structured waistline and straps is traditional enough to wear to the stuffiest office but great with a tee, too. The tunic-length Kat sweater can be worn as a dress or top. Meyer’s also redone the turtleneck to make it look less like something your four-year-old niece would wear and more like something your friends will try to take.

Even if you do lend a few pieces out, just think of it as being in your own best interest.

Available at Vagabond, 37 North Third Street (267-671-0737). To see styles, go to marymeyerclothing.com.
