What Wendy Wore: That 4th of July Outfit Again

July 4, 2015 by WendyB

I got my Independence Day look on one day early, for last night’s outing to the rooftop lounge at Ink48. I highly recommend the view there.

I wore my Castelbajac sailor outfit, which I like to get out on or around July 4. I mean, when else can you wear something like this?

Top: Castelbajac (2010)
Pants: Castelbajac (2010)
Shoes: Castelbajac (2012)
Earrings: My own barbed wire hoop design

Here’s a little “Same Time, Next Year” collage I did for Instagram.

The 2010 photo was taken in Mallorca, the first time I wore the outfit. It was in July, but not on the 4th. In 2011, I was in the Hamptons. Click this 2012 link to see the fabulous flag-themed shoes that designer Terry de Havilland gave me. Last year, I swapped out the chained Castelbajac top for a plain red t-shirt when I went out with my designing friend Zang Toi. Looks like I skipped 2013, though I had good intentions.

Wearing those hoop earrings last night reminded me to share this recent Wall Street Journal story on the comeback of hoops … which I predicted last July. Next year, the world is going to catch up with my anklet prediction. I’m sure of it!
