I declare a garment to be “double vintage” when it’s vintage by nature and vintage in terms of how long I’ve owned it. Here’s the double-vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore last week to The Acting Company’s fall gala, which honored my friends Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel and Carl Spielvogel.

What Wendy Wore: New Year’s Eves Through 2021
A lot of people say that New Year’s Eve is no fun, they never have anything to do, they’re never invited anywhere, yada yada yada. But why are y’all leaving things to chance? One thing I’ve learned in life is that if you want to have a party, your best bet is to throw your…
Instagram Recommendation: The AIDS Memorial
In honor of World AIDS Day, I’m going to say a few things about the The AIDS Memorial Instagram account — one of the most important and moving accounts on the ‘Gram, in my opinion. CLICK TO VISIT THE AIDS MEMORIAL ON INSTAGRAM. I’ve been meaning to write about this account since last year, when…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, there were two outfit posts on the blog this week. Monday, November 19: Talk about slow fashion! I’ve worn this Clovis Ruffin dress — which had to have been made before 1992 — on Dec. 31, 2005, and now in November 2018. Tuesday, November 20: This Scaasi dress is old,…
Throwback Thursday: New Year’s Eve, Ten Years Ago
Ten years ago tonight, I wore a vintage Clovis Ruffin dress, my gold Cleopatra earrings and a whole lot of extra hair to my New Year’s Eve celebration at Balthazar. Normally, I love a 10-year fashion-anniversary opportunity. But tonight, I’m wearing a (new-to-me) secondhand dress that, with the right hair and makeup, is intended to…
What Wendy Wore: Orange in Athens
If you follow my personal Instagram, you know that I’ve been doing a bit of traveling lately. I’m currently in Athens, where I admired the Acropolis from a rooftop restaurant last night. I wore a vintage tiger-striped Clovis Ruffin dress that I got in 2008. (It was a maxi but I hemmed it.) I often…
What Wendy Wore: Lady Pink Jacket at the Rihanna Concert
I went to see Rihanna at Barclays Center on May 5 and took one of my best-ever concert photos! When Bad Gal RiRi first came out in this costume, it took me a moment to realize what the print was. Then I thought, “Bitch stole my style again!” First, she ran off with a leopard…
What Wendy Wore This Weekend: Celebrating the Undead
Once again, I’m thankful that gorgeous blogger and bossypants Jennine from The Coveted told me last year to post more outfit pictures. It comes in handy when I’m working on a couple of complicated posts only to realize it’s Monday and I’ve got nothing ready for publication. But wait! I wore something! Instant post. I…
What Wendy Wore: A Week in South Beach
Last week, MrB and I both had business in Miami, so we decided to spend a few extra days in South Beach for relaxation. I hadn’t been there since 2008, and either my memory is failing or the place has totally changed. To the best of my recollection the dress code during my last visit…
What Wendy Wore: California Three-Peat
While I was packing for last week’s trip to Los Angeles, I remembered that I had unintentionally worn the same outfit and posed in the exact same location on L.A. visits in March 2008 and December 2008. This called for a three-peat, so I packed my Black Halo top, black Acne jeans, 16-year-old Karl Lagerfeld…
