I get to wear the BEST clothes on TV, and many of you regularly want to  know what designer I’m wearing, so I decided to start a new blog section called “wardrobe notes” to share all my glam — and not so glam! — behind-the-scenes fashion details.  

I also want to hear YOUR feedback:  tell me what you love, what you hate, what you would have worn differently, what you’d like to see, or even share a picture of you in YOUR favorite outfit…this is your chance to be a member of the Fashion Police elite, so go for it!  Can’t wait to read your comments and post your pictures.

I’m happy to kick off this section with one of my favorite TV dresses of all time, and also the one that gets the most compliments…

Designer: Yoana Baraschi 

The Deets: 70s Glam Blow-Up Dress,$482 at www.yoanabaraschi.com

The Score:  This dress was a gift from the designer (!) after she saw me wearing another one of her dresses on “The Today Show.”  I think it’s the ultimate score!

History:  I’ve worn this dress for multiple segments plus a photo shoot with super celeb photographer Perry Hagopian.

Accessories:  Jimmy Choo metallic platform slingbacks (also a gift!) and Alexis Bittar gold circle dangle earrings (ditto on the gift — wow! quelle coincidence!).

Green Room Gab:  I got  – no joke — about a dozen compliments on my dress.  One woman even asked me to write down the name of the designer so she could track down the dress.  The good news is, it’s still available on Yoana’s website (I’ve posted the link above)!

Studio Secrets:  James, probably the best TV wardrobe coordinator I’ve ever worked with (J’adore him!), always sizes me up before I go on set to make sure nothing is popping out where it shouldn’t be popping out.  The neckline of this particular dress is very low and scoopy (dangerous territory for morning TV), and the microphone wire simply refuses to stay put.  James took one look of me and said, “Honey, you know I’m top-sticking you there!”  Nearly 10 perfectly-placed strips of top-stick later, I was ready for my close-up.
