New Yorkers brag about not trekking above or below 14th Street. Pffft. I was in the city earlier this month, and most my roaming was limited to five minutes within the Mercer Hotel.

Mostly because Upper East Sider Amy Kernahan was too booked to touch-up tattoo my semi-permanent brows. (As she should be, she’s good.)

But it worked out well — my German shepherd Major Dukes got to piss on the Soho set of a YSL commercial, and around the corner at Japanese non-brand Muji, I found this Muji shawl collar, wrap cardigan.

Ah, to see the world framed in the grate of the 6 train…

Wanting:

I saw this Black Fleece pointelle polo shirt in San Francisco’s Black Fleece boutique — it’s sheer and subtle S-E-X.

So what’s keeping me from buying it? I’m not sure what I’d wear it with, since I don’t sport pants.

I suppose I could wear this Black Fleece polo with just a pair of Giuseppes. Kristopher Dukes, Inc. has Half-Dressed Fridays at the office…

Wearing:

I didn’t mean to turn my back you on, darlings.

I took a vacay from blogging dilettantism to be an actual dilettante. But I’m back.

And I’m still stuck on my uniform of bespoke silk jersey tank dresses, but I figured I ought to own at least one dress that hits below the knees, and this Black Fleece gray shift dress was a steal on Gilt Groupe.

Plus, it’s because this Black Fleece gray shift dress covers you up completely that that button-down back looks like an invitation…

Wanting:

Since I’m hardly ever out of my uniform of made-to-order silk tank dresses and shawl-collar wrap coats, I’m not sure when I’d wear this Norma Kamali for Walmart motorcycle jacket. But as it costs less than a bottle of dog shampoo, do I need to know now?

Wait, Major Dukes is barking.

He said I ought to stop blowing dough; he wants an Hermès dog collar.

I told Major that sounded a little fashion victim, and he replied that was interesting coming from a chick who wears five-inch Giuseppes to take him out to potty.

Touché…

Wearing:

I bought this Norma Kamali for Walmart long cardigan to wear with my White Sands deep V-neck, one-piece swimsuit.

I love how a preppy cardigan pairs with a plunge-neck one-piece, a la Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, but how often will I wear the two together?

Very often.

Kristopher Dukes, Inc. has a strict dress code: no panties or pants…

Wanting:

Louis Vuitton Mack.

Maybe I should invest in a Kent double-sided clothing brush…

Wearing:

I’ve got a very edited wardrobe — read “uniform” — at home: a wrap, shawl-collar coat; stiletto slippers; and a rainbow of racerback tank dresses. So what do I do while Sundancing, miles away from 72 and sunny?

Rotate between all three colors of Brighter’s racerback jumpsuit.

Brighton’s racerback jumpsuit in gray wool jersey is especially choice…
