Luckie:

When McGonagall transfigures, the cat she becomes has markings around 
it's eyes that look like spectacles (this was at the beginning of 
PS/SS, and possibly other places), so I assume that clothing becomes 
a part of you, and possibly other items/possessions, such as a wand, 
if it is in your pocket or hand.
