Party Like A Rock Star! I Mean, Like A Theater Person…
Item: Blouse Color/Fabric: Black, silk Designer: Rebecca Taylor Where Purchased: Next Boutique Years Owned: 4 Tonight, a treat. One of my favorites. And I’ve worn this blouse many, many times. But the best, by leaps and bounds, was in July of 2009 when we went to see Green Day play in Albany. Green Day has …
I’m With The Sk8er Boi.
Item: Sweater-Type-Thing Color/Fabric: Rainbow, cotton/polyester Where Purchased: J Crew Years Owned: Numerous (Definitely 10+) Today I offer to you a garment that I have clung to for years and years. It has survived too many closet purges to count. And I’m not exactly sure why. It’s made out of what seems to be terry cloth. …
Polly-O String Cheese!
Item: Tank Color/Fabric: Salmon, cotton/spandex Designer: Viola Where Purchased: Anthropologie Years owned: 2+ Tonight is a strange night. Indeed, strange. There is a fearsome wind blowing, and my dogs are crazier than usual. I foresee a long night, with little sleep. So I may as well write, yes? This is a top that I loved …
The LBD, Part Two.
Item: Little Black Dress Color/Fabric: Black (duh) and fabric, unknown Designer: Kenneth Cole Where Purchased: kennethcole.com Years Owned: 2 Today I started to see a little glimmer of my old self, my not sad and angsty self. My name-is-Kerry-I’m-so-very self. Just a little peek. But it’s nice to know that she’s coming back. Since I …
Onward and Upward!
Item: Blouse Color/Fabric: Butter, cotton Designer: Free People Where Purchased: TJ Maxx Years Owned: 4 Oh, I hate so much that I’ve been away! But I am so glad to be back.

Bliss! Joy! Salmon!!
Item: Dress Color/Fabric: Blue/green/purple, silk Designer: Max Studio Where Purchased: A consignment shop in Perrysburg, Ohio Years Owned: 1 I had a lovely evening last night. I had no rehearsal for anything for the first time in what feels like months, and so Nate and I went on a date. It was our first proper …
The Wrath Of A Freighter.
Item: Jacket Color/Fabric: White, cotton Designer: Cino Where Purchased: Next Boutique Years Owned: 3 Well, this is it. The final installment in my brief outerwear diversion. I’m not sure if I will get rid of one or two coats. I said two because I imagined myself posting many more jackets than my schedule ended up …
Stop. Change!
Item: Coat Color/Fabric: Tan, suede Designer: ?? Where Purchased: A Thrift store, unknown Years Owned: At least 10 I feel like my brain has turned off. I’m not sure of the reason for this happenstance; perhaps I’ve scared it away. Or maybe it got sick of my whining about everything all the time. I just …
The Show Stealer.
Item: Coat Color/Fabric: Spring Green, cotton Designer: Express Years Owned: 6 Tonight I am contemplating something to remind me that, eventually, it will be spring. That no matter how much more horrible this winter can possibly get, it can’t last forever. That there is a light at the end of the snow and ice covered …
While You Debate Half-Empty Or Half-Full…
Item: Cropped Pea-Coat Color/Fabric: Plum, wool Designer: Bitten By Sarah Jessica Parker Where Purchased: Steve and Barry’s Years Owned: 2.5 Uuuugggghhhhhhh. I had to let that out. At this point saying that I am sick of snow is like saying that I enjoy breathing. We’re all in the same boat, so there’s really not a …
I Am What I Wore
