What Wendy Wore: Versace Jacket From 2004

July 11, 2017 by WendyB

Before it got hot here in New York City, I took some outfit pictures of my hairy, purple jacket from Versace’s fall 2004 collection. My right-hand woman Eryn and I were on our way to a meeting at a Mexican restaurant called La Esquina, aka The Corner — you can see it behind me in…

Throwback Thursday: Celine Dion’s Oscar Tux

June 22, 2017 by WendyB

Céline Dion was talking about fashion with People magazine recently, and I was glad to learn that she isn’t traumatized by the criticism of the backwards John Galliano tuxedo she wore to the 1999 Oscars. Embed from Getty Images Céline said: “When I wore that look, yes it was at the Oscars, and when I…

On Wednesday, I went to the 50th-anniversary fundraising dinner for the State University of New York’s Educational Opportunity Program. The EOP provides college access and support to low-income students in New York State — young adults who are often the first ones in their families to go to college.

Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in January

April 13, 2017 by WendyB

Yesterday, I finally got around to writing about January’s Columbia Spectator fundraising dinner, at which Dan Rather was the keynote speaker.  So it seems like the right time for the outfit post from that evening. This one has a guest star: my right-hand woman and branding chief, Eryn Patton, who joined me for the dinner….

Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in January

March 16, 2017 by WendyB

For Throwback Thursday, I’m going to catch up on some of the outfits I wore in January. I’ve been too distracted by political activity to do my usual outfit posts! I joined a local Indivisible group, which I highly recommend. Indivisible aims to bring Tea Party-inspired, grass-roots activism to progressive causes, and it’s a good…

Throwback Thursday: Versace Skirt With Staying Power

October 20, 2016 by WendyB

Nine years ago — minus just one day! — I published a post called, “Why Does Buyer’s Guilt Focus on Fashion?” In it, I wrote: “I’m always annoyed at how a fashion is incorrectly perceived as a woman’s topic, and therefore trivialized and criticized. We’re told we should feel bad about it even though men…
