What Wendy Wore: La Vie en Rose

by

MrB and I went out to dinner tonight to celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary (a day late). Because gorgeous blogger Jennifer S. of Laptop Confessional wrote a sweet post today that mentioned my love of Versace, I pulled out an electrifying pink Versace suit that I last wore at a friend’s wedding in 2003.  This suit had the seven-year itch!

The dude on the bike is like, "WTF?"

This picture shows the bi-color skirt better.

The shoes are Versace too.

I felt good in this outfit despite being jet-lagged. I won’t wait another seven years to wear it again. Good thing I don’t follow those cleaning-out-the-closet rules, right?

UPDATED JULY 24 TO ADD: How in the world did I forget that the 23rd was my three-year blogversary? You can visit my “I’m not going to write much” first post here and my “Britney Spears stole my ring” second post here.

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: I figured it was worth showing the other colors in the shoes: a bit of cream on the strap and a light blue heel.

  1. Love this! (and since it’s more “formal wear” in my closet cleaning rules… and it’s Versace… it wouldn’t get tossed!)
