Going Back to Cali

January 2, 2009 by WendyB

This is what I wore when I went out with the gorgeous bloggers of L.A. last month: head-to-ankle black.

Kate Moss for Topshop fringed jacket.
My only Topshop acquisition ever.

Only my Hogan shoes broke up the black.


I found these shoes marked way down but almost didn’t get them. Luckily, MrB insisted because I’ve been wearing them constantly. They look and feel like high-heeled robot sneakers.

You might be wondering why I haven’t shared any pictures of the bloggers from that evening out. To be perfectly honest, the ladies were shooting heroin into their eyeballs and touching livestock in inappropriate ways all night; therefore, I don’t have a single picture that’s safe to share. Here’s a little LL Cool J as a consolation.

    Wow, that is a wonderfully wonderful outfit! If you had to make ONE Topshop acquisition, you have chosen well. Seriously, there is absolutely nothing with head to toe black of you wear it that well. xx

    Oh LL COOL J is the way to my heart. He is going to be in NYC in Feb and then Atlantic City. I really, really worked on recuiting people for a one night trip to go see him with me. Fabulous choice of videos as a way to express yourself.

    The one Topshop piece you own is the one that got away from me. I looked too late on the site and my size was all gone! 🙁 You look amazing in it, very cha cha cha!
