Before I quit the corporate world in February 2005, I wore a lot of suits. They were my weekday uniform. The ones I got between 2000 and 2005 were particularly nice, and I couldn’t bear to part with them. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to wear them. I took an Alexander McQueen skirt suit<\/a> for a spin in May and then wore a McQueen pantsuit<\/a> in June.\u00a0 Later that month, I picked out a Stella McCartney pantsuit to wear to a non-jewelry business meeting. I’m not sure when I last wore it; I’m guessing 2006.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore to Look Somewhat Serious<\/strong>
\nSuit:<\/strong> Stella McCartney (pre-2005)<\/em>
\nT-shirt:<\/strong> Splendid<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (pre-2005)<\/em>
\nNecklace:<\/strong> My own Memento Mori skull design<\/a><\/em>
\nManicure:<\/strong> “Captain Manhattan<\/a>” by Tracylee Percival<\/em><\/p>\n

Now my uniform is, as I’ve said before<\/a>, a black t-shirt and jeans. Here’s a photo from my recent trip to London. It’s notable only because I’m wearing the first new pair of jeans I’ve bought since I got boyfriend jeans in 2008<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of jeans worn in London, I realized that during my recent visit with my London-based friend Al Radley, I wore the exact same pair of Acne jeans that I wore when I visited him in 2010. Here’s this year’s photo …<\/p>\n

Not only do I wear the same holiday outfits year after year<\/a>, I wear the same casual outfits year after year! I’m proud to say that I did wash these jeans in between Al Radley meetings. I’m crazy that way. I wash my jeans once a year whether they need it or not. Don’t judge me.<\/p>\n
