Melissa Joan Hart wishes she took more of the wardrobe from Clarissa Explains It All . Hart, 48, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about which pieces she kept from Clarissa Darling’s closet — and which she still has three decades after the show wrapped — while celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Clarissa Explains It All finale. “I still [want Clarissa’s closet],” Hart told Us ,” wishing she kept more of her character’s iconic looks.
“I took all the Betsey Johnson [designs.] I still have all the Betsey Johnson!” she exclaimed. Hart continued, “I never took a whole outfit.
I took all the necklaces she had — all these big, long necklaces — and I hung them in my bedroom for a long time.” Over the years and while moving houses, Hart admitted that she lost “a lot” of her Clarissa Explains It All accessories, and even a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award . Clarissa’s fashion sense consisted of colorful tops, mixing prints and patterns, overalls, crochet sweaters, colorful tights and more — all of which are still right on trend today.
When it comes to reviving fads, Hart couldn’t be happier that combat boots are everywhere this fall. (Think: Olivia Rodrigo rocking her Dr. Martens on the Guts World Tour , Taylor Swift wearing chunky Christian Louboutins while cheering on Travis Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs games and more.
) “I should never have let mine go,” Hart told U s. “Big mistake. I think that they’re just the most versatile shoe there.
