What Wendy Wore: 2011’s Ubiquitous Prada Dress

August 29, 2014 by WendyB

I wore a cheerful Prada dress to a friend’s birthday party last Saturday.

Dress: Prada (2011)
Shoes, mostly cut off by photographer MrB: Prada (2011)
Lipstick: Pleasure Bomb by RiRi Hearts MAC
Jewelry: My own designs

I got this dress in 2011 after everybody — including Gwen Stefani and Tina Fey — had worn it in every magazine.  So far I haven’t bumped into anyone else wearing it in real life. I keep hoping that will happen so we can take a funny “twins?” photo, like this one from 2007.

I can hardly believe that my arms are out of their normal position in this year’s photo of the striped dress. There is a disturbance in the force! The WendyB Pose was in full effect for previous wearings, however.

I’m going to have to hold another pose-off one of these days.

    I adore that dress – you look smashing in it, Wendy! I’m up for a pose-off (or pose-homage!).

      You kicked ass (literally!) with the Loverboy pose!

    It might have been “done to death” in magazines, dearest Wendy…but I STILL love this Prada dress!! The stripes and colours make it perfect birthday party wear!! 🙂
