THE MOST TREASURED ITEM IN YOUR CLOSET

the-most-treasured-item-in-your-closet

Whether you’re a regular reader or an occasional visitor, Wear You Are Now is a place for you- my fellow kindred spirits who believe that fashion plays an integral role in making memories. And if you’re picking up what I’m putting down, I can venture a guess that some of your most memorable and impactful life moments (both good and bad) are tied to fashion, too. I remember what I was wearing the day my little brother came home from the hospital. I remember what I was wearing the first time I ever swam in the ocean…

YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at this party. In my defense, renting your clothes has always felt like an odd concept to me. As a fan of the “shop your closet” concept (which I talk about HERE), remixing my current wardrobe is the way I prefer to go. And if I am going to spend, I’d rather focus on building…

I AM A…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess, we might have replied. (Or, in my case, a ballerina.) When we got a bit older, we were asked again. And as we naturally grew and gained a better understanding of the world around us, our answers became more rooted in reality. A teacher, a fireman, a doctor, we might have answered. (Or in my…

ON THE WILD SIDE

Animal print has long been a style staple in my wardrobe. I vividly remember the first time I chose to purchase something of the like. It was 2001, my sophomore year of high school, and I donned a strapless, floor length Jessica McClintock tiger print dress to homecoming that year. (Speaking of which- who else was a Jessica McClintock fan? Her dresses were the JAM at my high school!) I believe it even had rhinestones on the bodice. And I’ll be damned if I wasn’t proud of that dress. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculous at…

NOTORIOUS LBD

It’s true you can never really go wrong with a little black dress (LBD). And stocking your closet with a few go-to options is one of the smartest ways to do your wardrobe right. Whether dressed up or dressed down, for work or for play, a good LBD is almost always appropriate. And easy. And sometimes you just need easy! But as we all know very well, the moment you realize you’re in need of a really good go-to dress is precisely the moment you won’t be able to find one. (Why oh why does…

WELL (JUMP) SUITED

Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…
