What Wendy Wore: Slow-Fashion McQueen

August 27, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve been dressing very casually lately, so I made a point of putting on a dress for MrB’s belated birthday dinner on Sunday.

Dress:  Alexander McQueen (2010)
Shoes: Prada (2010)

This dress by Alexander McQueen is homegrown vintage. I wore it for the first time during a 2010 trip to L.A., for dinner with my fashion-blogger friends. In the 2010 photo below, it looks like I might be holding my squishy, patent Prada bag from 2007, which happens to be the same bag I carried for this year’s birthday dinner.

This is from 2010. Click for another photo of the dress in 2011.

Meanwhile, even as more people get into the idea of slow fashion, I’m having a “yikes” moment about it. You get to a certain age when everything feels like it happened yesterday … but then you realize it was a decade ago. Digging up photos of homegrown vintage tends to rub that in. Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess? That’s what I keep telling myself, at least.

    That’s a fantastic dress and it looks amazing on you! I know, how can it be that all this time has just flown by? Coincidentally, my Anti-spam word is “ticktock”!

    Happy late Birthday, Mr. B!

      Ugh, I need to update my spam words — they’re all getting very eerie! :-O
