What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi for a Pre-Oscar Party

March 1, 2014 by WendyB

The last time I wore the mermaid outfit by my designing friend Zang Toi, the weather in New York City was monsoon-like. Now, in Los Angeles, the weather is … monsoon-like.

MrB said cheerfully, “At least you’re dressed to swim home!” Indeed I am!

I just have to hope the water isn’t too cold because I don’t have a lot of coverage.

And now we’re off to see the Weinsteins!

UPDATED TO ADD: Here are three of the five rings I wore …

    Because of you and MrB, your joy in life, your fashion sense, your creativity, your outspoken self, your ability to observe, interpret and comment, as well as your circle of family and friends, I get to have a whole lotta fun that I would never have had otherwise. Thanks!

    Holy crap. You look crazy amazing. People are definitely going to think you’re some famous actress. I must say… I’m loving the hair.
    MrB. looks dapper as well 🙂

    I just adore that outfit on you – the drama of the skirt! You look amazing, Wendy, and you’re constantly inspiring me to wear whatever the fuck I want. Thank you!
