Wrap up and get out for spring with Janska.
A beautiful Sunday! Janska’s first ambassador, Shelley Zurek, the Chief Blonde, was provided this Janska Gilda Vest in Teal ($119) and the Janska signature LapWrap in Black ($65). She is also wearing: 1st photo: Carissa Rose Shirt dress (similar), Michael Kors Multi-functional Tote (Michael Kors Multifunctional Tote), Carlos Santa booties from Monroe and Main (similar). 2nd Photo, also wearing: J.Crew Jean shirt (J. Crew Jean Shirt), Daisy Skinny jeans from Sam’s Club, Sam Edelman over the knee boots (Sam Edelman boots on amazon).
Mother’s day is almost here!
It seems like whenever Walt and I head home from church, we have a gorgeous sunny day. We often stop by our local nursery, as they have the only plants around that are in bloom. I love going there because it makes me so anxious for spring. I can’t wait to get my Mother’s Day flowers. This Gilda vest looked so pretty with my black dress and kept me warm as I dashed from the car.
As the day warmed up, I continued reading Provence, 1970, which delves into a summer in the lives of M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, and James Beard. I LOVE JULIA! As I hung out on the back veranda, I wore the Janska LapWrap to give me that little extra warmth. You can see that we have no leaves on our trees yet in Michigan.
The Janksa Gilda vest is such a fun surprising article of clothing. It looks great with a dress (as I wear it above) but also just as marvelous with leggings or jeans as shown on the model above. I am convinced it will be a wardrobe staple as I love the mid thigh length. I can see this being perfect for a spring soccer game, a summer concert, a fall arts and craft fair or a holiday party. Don’t you love pieces that take you through all the seasons?
The LapWrap is the original article of clothing that inspired the entire Janska line. Jan originally designed the wrap to be both a coat and a lap blanket for her dear elderly friend who couldn’t deal anymore with all the buttons and arm holes of a regular jacket. But when Jan took this piece to a tradeshow, boutiques started snapping it up for their clients of all ages.
The LapWrap is not only multi-generational but also unisex. I sure wish I would have had this item earlier…when my mom got sick she had such a tough time getting her arms into her coat. This wrap would have pleased her so much and kept her warm too! I can see myself wearing the LapWrap around the house in place of a sweater or out at night over a sundress or a more formal dress.

Yes, I am ready for weather where I can sit outside and read. Spring is almost here, and lighter clothes are a must. I like the idea of the labwrap for my daughter. She is always so cold but hates to take a blanket into places. This gives style and warmth.
Gail Williams says
I love the lap wrap. I can see throwing it on when I run to my garage for something or when I run to the mail box on a cool morning.
