Same Time, Next Year?

February 17, 2009 by WendyB

Last year, I wore a vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at a restaurant called Balthazar. This year, I wore the same vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar.

    Lovely! And apparently it’s chic to “rewear” items–one good thing from this dismal economy!

    If I owned this dress, I would probably wear it every day, to every restaurant possible.

    That being said, was Balthazar in ‘Sex and the City’ in any way? Because I vaguely remember an episode involving a waitress with a weird hat… hmmmm.

    Yes, re-wearing clothes is the in thing these days! But, Wendy, you make it look hot every day of the year =P

    I will speak for all the guys and remind you ladies that the only thing that matters is what you aren’t wearing at the end of the night.

    That’s because it’s the iconic, NY Valentine’s vintage dress. Gorgeous!

  21. TINE says

    February 17, 2009 at 11:07 am

    ooo yes! I’d make it a tradition to wear every year. Then you can pass it down to your children as a family heirloom.

  39. Prunella Jones says

    February 17, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    Hawt dress!

    But for next year, I’m placing my bet that you’ll wear a black leather teddy and Wonder Woman boots to dine at that restaurant.

    No special reason, just because.
