Any project with the word convertible in it is intriguing, right? I happen to be drawn to pieces that I can wear many different ways. So I am always contemplating in my mind how to come up with a new design that will take on a different personality each time I wear it.

The Margaux does just that, as you can wear it as a top or tunic, fitted or straight hanging for more comfort. Of course you can wear it as a cowl and a shawl, that is not as much of a surprise….

But….
to wear it also as a shrug with full long sleeves, that is another story~

Because of the multiple buttons placed, the Margaux truly is a c o n v e r t i b l e piece that will give you many looks!

The added buttons are decorative as well as fully functional. The placement of the buttons will enable you to adjust the fit and the look.

Oh and did I say no buttonholes needed?
