Great Minds Think Alike … About Sequin Pandas

October 8, 2010 by WendyB

You can get a jump on Louis Vuitton’s panda look for next spring thanks to Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, who has done pandas in the past.

Click to buy on Yoox for $155.

The Castelbajac dress is much funnier. It’s available in red, for those days when you want to look like a sunburned panda. And who doesn’t have days like that? Also, I get a kick out of any tops/dresses that have eyes in the boobular region. Because then you can say to a leering guy, “Hey, buddy, my eyes are up here … wait … you’re right. They’re down there. Carry on!”

UPDATED TO ADD: Gorgeous blogger subWOW of The Absence of Alternatives suggested I make some bamboo-themed jewelry to go with the panda fashion, but Gucci beat me to it.

Gucci bamboo heart necklace, available at Saks. (But chic people only buy WendyB jewelry!)

    How adorable. My friend has a knitted panda hat, which I slightly covet although I’m not sure if it would work with any of my coats. But that dress is something else, I too prefer the Jean-Charles one…

      No, I feel like they’re mocking me. Look! They’re saying, “You’re sick and we’re not!”

    Thanks for the shoutout. *blushing* The Gucci necklace is fine but your jewelry is a lot more unique! Panda rings? You know swear rings that say PANDA ROCKS. 😉
