What Wendy Wore Dress: Jacques Tiffeau (acquired in 2009) Boots: Prada (2008, probably first seen here) In a post about Moschino that I wrote a couple of days before that party, I defined the “double-vintage” category of “slow fashion” as clothes…

What Wendy Wore: Slow Fashion for Valentine’s Week
MrB and I went to Blue Water Grill for a Valentine’s Day dinner last week. I considered taking the holiday theme to the extreme by wearing my vintage Moschino heart dress, but I ultimately opted for Valentine’s-red boots instead. Much to my delight, the next day, Elle declared that red boots are the new white…
Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…

To bring 2017 to a close, I’m taking a look back at 12 “What Wendy Wore” highlights, with an emphasis on slow fashion. Click the photos for the original posts. January began with all gold everything, as I rang in 2017 in a gold gown first worn in 2004. This time, I added a crown….
What Wendy Wore: Casual on Repeat for Jumanji
MrB and I went to a screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle tonight and we laughed our heads off. Go see it, because who among us doesn’t desperately need a funny movie these days?

Throwback Thursday: CPJ Outfits From 2007-2017
Last night, MrB and I went to the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner held by the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ is a cause near and dear to our hearts — so dear, in fact, that MrB served as chairman for six years. The organization is an independent nonprofit that promotes press freedom worldwide…
What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual
I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…
Throwback Thursday: Stephen Sprouse Skirt
I can’t remember exactly where or when I got my pink Stephen Sprouse skirt, which is from his Hardcore 1988 collection. I think it was in 2006. The first photo I can find of it is from 2007. This is how I wore it in 2011, while out on the town with my friend Julie….
Throwback Thursday: 1 Wedding, 1 Anniversary
My gorgeous friend Alyssa Brownell and her fabulous man, Robert, got married last month. Alyssa wore my 18K gold tiara, as I’ve mentioned. The entire day was beautiful. There were a lot of happy tears during the ceremony in the awe-inspiring Church of St. Francis Xavier. Saturday afternoon church … #notmyusualsaturday #wedding A post shared…
