Never Is the Next New Thing

Keeping It Perv in the Family

by

For Mother’s Day, my family went to La Baraka, a French restaurant. I dressed in a Catholic schoolgirl skirt so my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, and I could feel 25 years younger. I gave us the gift of youth!

On me:
Kilt with trompe l’oeil pins by Francis by Christian Francis Roth
Prada Gaufre bag
Mid-’90s Prada Mary Janes
Diabless t-shirt


Mom suggested that next time I wear the skirt, I accessorize with knee socks and saddle shoes. Who knew she was so pervy? I guess that’s where I get it from. Now that I think of it, I have a little white blouse that ties right under the bust. I guess I’ll break that out for next Mother’s Day.

  2. I saw that skirt there, yesterday. And loved it. You’re a good daughter.

  3. What a cute photo…and when you wear the skirt with knee socks and saddle shoes…please post a pic.

  4. Forgive my perviness, but your legs look hawt in that skirt! It sounds like you two had a wonderful Mother’s Day. 🙂

  7. Hi there-what a gorgeous photo, hope you all had a fabulous day! You totally rock in that skirt, I love it!

  8. A snail trail on your skirt? that is pervy!
    I think you can get away with that look Wendy, but the sophisticated 5th former suits you best.

  9. I love it! It’s like chic, casual and sophisticated all in one little Wendy B. package. Plus you look 22, woman, how the hell do you do it?

  13. Love the skirt- I used to wear little plaid Catholic school skirts in University all the time- got lots of attention in my bar-going days.

  21. I love the skirt, the print is really cool. And safety pins were all over the McQ collection, you’re ahead of the pack.

  22. This is too funny, I saw the skirt at Nordstrom on Saturday! And looked at it! How’s that for progress on the fashion over frump endeavor…?

    You look absolutely excellent in that outfit Miss Wendy, and you and mom together is such a sweet image! Thank you for sharing Mom with us.

    BTW, you will be pleased to know I purchased a pair of *not* preppy sneaks, shown in today’s post. How cool is that?!!

    Have a great week!
