Welcome to Art Of Wore! You've likely stumbled across this blog because you're interested in fashion, beauty or just like looking at pretty pictures. In any case, I'm glad to have you.

My name is Mary O'Regan. I live in Seattle and work as a Senior Features Writer for Nordstrom. I moved here in January of 2012 from my hometown of Minneapolis where I was the Senior Fashion Editor for METRO magazine and Editor in Chief of Minnesota Bride, Wisconsin Bride and Arizona Bride — many people know me through these magazines. I loved my days as an editor but moved to Seattle because, well, sometimes life just gets too comfortable and you need an adventure. And that's exactly what I'm having, documenting it all here for the world to see.

The main reason I started Art Of Wore is because I have way too many fashion- and beauty-related obssessions — so many that I needed a broader outlet than my day job can provide. In other words, if I feel a burning desire to contemplate the meaning behind a pair of shoes or freak out over something I just scored at the thrift store, Art of Wore is the perfect platform: uncensored, unabashed and always stylish.
