I Actually Wore This

I Actually Wore This Description

A celebration of the fashion missteps of otherwise stylish individuals&from celebrities and fashion and media insiders to regular humans.   In everyone&s closet, there is one article of clothing that truly demonstrates a momentary lapse in fashion judgment. I Actually Wore This is the first book to celebrate these fashion blunders and lets us in on how and why they happened: the purple velour jumpsuit that was supposed to make you look dangerous, the Baron von Trapp&ish Tyrolean jacket that seemed like a good idea after six beers in Munich, and the cocktail napkin&sized swimsuit. Each of these cringe-inducing items somehow managed to find its way into the wardrobe of a typically fashionable person, and the authors are here to tell you how that happened.   In I Actually Wore This, otherwise stylish individuals, from Bergdorf Goodman&s fashion director to actress and SNL alum Molly Shannon, choose the one item from their closet that best illustrates when taste took a holiday, allow themselves to be photographed in it, and tell the story of how, where, and why they bought this article of clothing that makes them mutter "what was I thinking?" each time they see it.
