HEY THERE!

Welcome to Wear You Are Now, a place for like-minded women to gather and gab about the topics most near and dear to our hearts. Pull up a chair, and stay a while! From fashion, to food, to travel, to entertaining, we’re here for some real talk about life for the modern gal-on-the-go. I’m Natalie: creator, editor, and denim devotee- and I’m so glad you’re here.

From a young age, my strongest memories have always been tied to fashion. As the only girl in a family of brothers, my mother taught me to dress for success, no matter the occasion (though I fought her on it occasionally, it’s a life lesson that I’m happy to report stuck with me). I remember what I was wearing the day my little brother was born (a teeny-tiny “Big Sis” t-shirt with an elephant on it, of course). I remember what I was wearing the first time I swam in the ocean (an American Flag one-piece and a matching scrunchy, thank you very much). I remember what I was wearing the day I met my husband (a pink sundress that is very hilariously not my style, but I guess it did its job!) And whether good or bad, no matter where (or wear) the road led me, fashion played an integral role in the making of my memories.

Wear You Are Now is a witty and open-armed approach to genuine living through the lens of what you’re wearing; a place to make memories through fashion. In a world where selfies and perceived perfection reign supreme, Wear You Are Now isn’t about having the newest or the best. It’s about embracing where you are in your life and how you live it- how you eat, how you travel, how you work and how you dress.

Think of this as a loft where you’d meet up with your girlfriends for happy hour (or hours.. because sometimes one just isn’t enough) to chat about what’s happening in your life- the real stuff. We’re the girl you invite to Sunday brunch; the one you ask for outfit advice; the one you call when the meal you cooked your in-laws is burnt and you need a Plan B; the one you turn to for career advice; the one you geek-out over a new book with; the one you’re not afraid to admit a mistake to. Imperfection? Yes, please! We’ll take it. And we’ll celebrate it. It’s what makes life most interesting.

To my fellow kindred spirits: the lady bosses, the wanderers, the shower singers, the foodies, the street-stylers, the decor gurus- consider this your open invitation. Pour yourself a glass and get comfortable. Let’s talk about where you are in your life, and let’s dress the hell out of it along the way.
