The Quest: Day OneOctober 07, 2008 | 05:14PM

I’ve been in a jeans coma. I’ll be the first to admit that. However, in honor of Isaac’s new book, “How to Have Style,” I am swearing off jeans and searching for my style.


I did the questionnaire, the inspiration board, even cleaned out my closet, so all I had left was wake up this morning and NOT put on jeans. Well, the seasons are turning in New York. There was a chill in my apartment as I crawled out of bed, and all I wanted were my jeans. I thought, if I just find a dress, I could throw on some tights and be done with it, right? So, I landed on a charcoal wool number (wool because of the aforementioned chill in the air), swapped the matching grey belt for a black leather one, chose some black leather pumps with a gold button and then found a necklace to echo the shoes. All that in the same 15 minutes it usually takes me to get ready!


Well, people have been commenting all day, but I have to say, I’m not quite sure it’s “me.” So, the quest goes on. I’ll keep you posted.

I appreciate the way you write about your search... and I wanted to encourage you re: banishing jeans. They are soooo everywhere and soooo what! There are so many interesting choices that are more unique and honestly, I think feel more comfortable and good on the body to wear. I don't know if this dress you are wearing in the photo above is "you" but you look great in it. It is a perfect length on you! Very charming, and you have a great face to highlight with a charming dress. Enjoy your hunt!
