New Year’s Outfits

January 1, 2009 by WendyB

For my traditional New Year’s Eve/birthday combination celebration last night, I wore a Clovis Ruffin dress from Shrimpton Couture, my faux-ny tail and earrings of my own design. Gigi the dog wore her own fur coat, accessorized with a giant tongue and a bitchy attitude.



UPDATED TO ADD: I’m wearing also the Lagerfeld shoes I mentioned here.

    So cute – and I must say the faux-ni-tail has extra enyouthifying powers because you always look about 22 when you wear it.

    Cybill, Gigi thanks you.

    (R)evolver, I don’t have a good picture of them, unfortunately, since they’re not an official part of my line. Maybe someday!

    Frankie, thanks from both of us.

    Make Do, thanks!

    Shannon, I hope yours is sparkly too!

    RCT, thanks! Happy 2009 to you too.

    Shrimpton, took me long enough to take a picture of it, right? But I knew a while ago that I wanted to save it for New Year’s.

    FT, thanks!

    DP, don’t get Gigi in trouble with PETA, okay?

    Coco, thanks.

    LosingIt, you are welcome to comment anytime. It doesn’t have to be on fashion. You can just come here and say some random shit if the mood strikes you. It won’t be any more random than the shit I say! (And thank you.)

    Alicia, gotta have a tail for parties.

    Lisa, thanks and happy new year to you too!
