Wednesday’s Video: Don’t Be Basic!

July 12, 2017 by WendyB

As a New Yorker, I appreciate basic black clothes, but I also love statement pieces, like the purple Versace jacket from yesterday’s post. In this week’s YouTube video, I talk about buying distinctive clothes and letting go of the fear that anything interesting will look “last season.”

If my fidgeting with the jacket in the video drives you a little crazy, you’re not alone. I wanted to slap my own hands when I watched it! But that’s even more of a reason to subscribe to my YouTube channel: You have to keep tuning in to see if I ever figure out what to do with my hands!

I don't know what to do with my hands

    I personally LOVE this jacket – it’s so awesome, and like nothing else, and of course, that’s what a statement piece is all about. I think my entire wardrobe is statement pieces at this point (designer and not). Latest finds: a 2010 Ted Baker dress ($32.95) and a DvF wrap dress from 2014 ($24.95). My Fluevogs are also all statement pieces, not a boring or basic pair there!

    Great video again, Wendy. I didn’t even notice your hands!

      I love your Fluevog collection! Definitely statement pieces.
      And thanks for ignoring my nervous hands. LOL!

    I do love this jacket. And I have really been enjoying your videos. I know I sent you Joan as Policewoman on Instagram, but I was inspired to alert you to another group! Have you listened to London Grammar? The latest album is awesome. It’s so power rock, dramatic 80’s vibe. I love it. Even though we have never met, sometimes things remind me so strongly of you! It’s probably all the posts about 80’s earrings, which I love. Also the songs Oh Woman Oh Man and especially Hell to the Liars remind me of things you have written or tweeted about. Anyway, talk to you later.
