Welcome to our new feature called Cubicle Couture - Echo Our Style. Check in and see how and what we're wearing here in the hallways at Echo. Today the windy morning influenced everybody's outfits and most of us layered up in wraps, sweaters and ponchos. We found 3 people each wearing a wrap a different way. Wraps are commonly thought of as something to be worn around your shoulders, like a shawl or a pashmina. This is a great way to wear a wrap in the cold weather months and a lace, sequin or silk wrap also can be a nice touch to a party dress or bridesmaid's dresses. But these wraps shown here are worn like scarves. They provide just the right amount of fabric to gather and drape loosely for that casual look. The first two wraps are also eco-friendly. They are made of bamboo which is naturally anti-bacterial and are amazingly soft! The last look is our brightly colored ikat. Ikat is a type of fabric which is created by dying the yarns before they are put onto the loom and woven into fabric. We had an earlier blog post all about ikats here if you'd like to read more. So if you're searching for a perfect, long and versatile scarf, you might just find it in the Wraps section!
