I broke a fashion rule yesterday by wearing one designer head-to-toe (with the exception of a few accessories). I’ve never understood the proscription against the head-to-toe look<\/a>. Yeah, it would be too rigid to wear one designer head-to-toe every day. And it would be blinding to be completely covered in an ostentatious logo. But who the hell knows where a particular pair of black shoes comes from except a Cond\u00e9 Nast editor? In fact, if I were a clothing designer who did a wide range of product, I’d demand that everyone I know wear my look head-to-toe. I were Calvin Klein, for instance, I’d check everyone’s underwear and jeans to make sure my name was on them. As it is, if any of my friends acquire a new piece of fine jewelry that’s not mine, I throw him\/her the shank-eye<\/a> before saying, “Oh, that’s cute!” in an obviously fake way.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nTop:<\/strong> Prada (2011)<\/em>
\nSkirt:<\/strong> Prada (2011)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2010<\/a>)<\/em>
\nPurse:<\/strong> Studded Sonia Rykiel (2009<\/a>), accidentally held backwards<\/em>
\nWatch:<\/strong> Hermes (2002<\/a>)<\/em>
\nEarrings:<\/strong> My own Cleopatra design<\/a><\/em>
\nNecklace\/rings:<\/strong> All my own designs<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve never owned any clothes by Prada<\/a> before — just accessories. I got the top and skirt during a hunt for daytime separates that weren’t jeans and black t-shirts<\/a>. The constant wearing of jeans and black t-shirts<\/a> is starting to get me down. I don’t like where the top is hitting me, so I’m going to have Jean of Ghost Tailor<\/a> hem it a little.\u00a0 Other than that, I feel enthused about the non-t-shirt look.<\/p>\n
