Nothing to wear? Sometimes we all need a little inspiration when standing in front of the closet. That’s why Xpress is serving up local style with tips on what to wear, where to shop, and where to find fashion events. Check back each week for the latest looks.
It’s a wrap
 |
• Who she is: Noa Olivet
• What she’s wearing: Cuffed jeans, retro boots, starlet sunglasses and a gray wrap top from Minx Boutique (64 N. Lexington Ave., 225-5680).
• Why we love it: Jane declared the slouchy gray shirt the must-have ultra-versatile fashion piece, but Noa’s outfit takes comfort wear to a new level. The wrap is both cozy and body-conscious, adding casual glamor to jeans and boots.
