What Wendy Wore: Zoom Birthday Party

December 24, 2021 by WendyB

My birthday was yesterday, and I wound up celebrating on Zoom, thanks to Omicron. I did make an effort to dress festively, but only from the waist up. It made it easy to take an outfit photo. I didn’t even have to get off the couch. If those new-to-me pink-and-orange Prada glasses from 2011 look…

February 20, 2013 by WendyB

I can’t resist a museum gift shop. When I’m at one in real life, I’m drawn to catalogs and books. On the Internets, I look at fashion. Last night, I was browsing some gift shops online when I hit the Guggenheim‘s site. Why didn’t I know that this New York City museum sells a reproduction…

Outfit Post: All Clogged Up

April 14, 2010 by WendyB

I used to say, “Never say never” when it comes to fashion, but I’m taking it to the next level and declaring, “Never is the next new thing.” I’m convinced that the styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are most loved…
