Strike a Fashion-Blogger Pose

October 7, 2008 by WendyB

Here’s what I’m wearing to see Madonna tonight.

Same rolled-up Acne jeans
Old Prada boots
Splendid t-shirt

Vintage Stephen Sprouse jacket

I was having some serious ’80s nostalgia so I got out my earrings from 1984: the heart-locket earring you see Madonna wearing in the Borderline video, and a guitar-pick earring given to me by the first boy I ever kissed. Yep, these earrings have been in my possession for longer than some of you bloggers have walked the earth.

Have fun watching the debates, y’all!

UPDATED TO ADD: Who wore it best? I say that I did!

    I would say exactly what Miss Karen said, but that would be boring. So I’ll say it oh-so-slightly differently: You look fabulous, and I love your blazer! Your earrings are ridiculously awesome! And you know how I much I love those jeans.

    Lucky girl – getting to see Madonna twice. She isn’t coming to Australia (again!) so I won’t be seeing her this year (again!). I hope you enjoyed it.

    You look fabulous! That color is great on you. I’ve always said, “The three people on earth who can wear orange, should wear it every day.”

    I blew off the debate, and watched a Beastie Boys documentary. Time well spent.

    I love the blaze orange jacket, and the earring is very special!

    BTW, I like your hair these days.

    Every time I see the folded jeans in stores everywhere, I think of your blog. You had mentioned some time ago that we’d see them everywhere and you were right.

    You look fab in them, by the way.

    Madonna concert! That must have been heaps of fun. I think she blew off Australia once again.

    You look so young for a blogger who bought earrings in 1984! I was a little kid then. Your hair looks super shiny.. secret?

    Borderline: Madonna’s best song and video ever (hands-down). Love the look! And the earrings — now I am going to pull out my globe earring and wait for an occasion to wear it. xo

    So much more fun than the debate!
    You definitely wear the baggy jeans best, WendyB.

    OK, you can pull off the rolled up jeans look. But I still am not “pro.”

    BTW, have you seen this bit of 80s fun…
