Coachella 2019: What Wendy Wore. Again.

April 22, 2019 by WendyB

For a lot of people, Coachella is a high-fashion moment — a runway in the desert. Then there’s me, wearing the same thing three years in a row. I wore the same hat, shorts, boots, and denim jacket (tied around my waist in each photo) at my first Coachella in 2016 too — the only…

On Tuesday, MrB and I attended the Awards for Excellence dinner for the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York.

What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day 2019

February 15, 2019 by WendyB

I was mildly disappointed with myself last night for being sartorially lazy on Valentine’s Day. You know I love theme dressing, yet I didn’t wear my vintage Moschino heart dress … … or my vintage Gemma Kahng heart vest. But I decided to forgive myself for not dressing to code because I did have an…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2018

December 31, 2018 by WendyB

For 2017, I was proud to be able to do a “What Wendy Wore” year in review post featuring 12 slow-fashion outfits. In 2018 — despite Henry David Thoreau’s famous “… beware of all enterprises that require new clothes” — some of my most notable looks did require something new. I mean, I normally don’t…

MrB Is the Cat’s Pyjamas, Plus What Wendy Wore

December 24, 2018 by WendyB

MrB had been asking me for a while what I wanted for my birthday — which was yesterday — as well as the holidays. I kept saying nothing, and that was before we tried to save Purrkoy the kitten’s life last week. After that, I wasn’t in a particularly celebratory mood, and I figured those…

What Wendy Wore: Double-Vintage Clovis Ruffin

November 19, 2018 by WendyB

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 Dress: Clovis Ruffin (purchased…

What Wendy Wore: Shiny, Happy Homegrown Vintage

October 29, 2018 by WendyB

Luckily, I took a single photo early in the month that featured some silvery homegrown vintage. What Wendy Wore Jacket: Stacy Lomman (2011) T-shirt: Some old thing!
