Here I am wearing vintage sunglasses in May 2010. And here’s gorgeous blogger Ann of Annimal House this year. I’ve been enjoying Ann’s photos of her amazing vintage wardrobe for a couple of months now, but I had no idea that my checkered shades had helped inspire her blog! Now Ann and I have to…

DVF Leopard-Print Dress and Little Monster Paw … in 2002
I’ve been wondering when exactly I got my frequently worn leopard Diane von Furstenberg dress. Last year, when the photo below was taken, I figured that I bought the dress between 2000 and 2003. Good guess! While transferring files off an old computer, I found this photo from 2002. I had worn the dress to…
What Wendy Will Wear: Alexander McQueen Suit
I’m not in the habit of taking pictures of my outfits before I wear them, but I made an exception for this Alexander McQueen suit. I’ll be wearing it when I fly to D.C. for an event and I am sure that the gored skirt will be rumpled by the time I deplane. Luckily, gorgeous…
The Met Gala Dress of My Dreams
I can’t get over the cobwebby Zac Posen gown that actress Christina Ricci wore at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala on Monday. This dress brings the drama! The gala marked the opening of the Costume Institute’s Alexander McQueen exhibit. I was surprised by how few attendees wore McQueen dresses. Maybe all the…

What Wendy Wore: Old Versace Comes Out of the Closet
Last Wednesday, I dressed for a cocktail party in a way that felt “not me.” Anyone familiar with the Family Circus cartoon knows how annoying that little son-of-a-bitch “Not Me” is. As a result, when I got dressed for an event the following evening, I made a point of dressing as “me” as I possibly…
What Wendy Wore: Feeling Like a Real Housewife
Tonight, MrB and I went to the Tribeca Film Festival cocktail party where I debuted my Patrick Kelly leopard-print dress to great acclaim back in 2008. There was no way to top that sartorial experience, so I wore a less-controversial flapper dress that I last wore in 2009. To be a little crazy, I skipped my usual…
What Wendy Wore: The Bigger-Than-a-Breadbox Bag
I finally got an action shot of the giant leopard-print bag that MrB gave me for my birthday. It’s a good thing I work out a lot or I wouldn’t have the strength to carry it! What Wendy Wore Top: Anthropologie (2010) Jacket: Boudicca (not sure when I got it; last posted here) Jeans: Acne…
What Wendy Wore: Posing in Posen as It Pours
MrB and I went out for dinner on Saturday despite the pouring rain. I even forced myself to wear something besides jeans and a black t-shirt. Check out how wet the toes of my shoes are! I think everything I’m wearing in this photo is from 2003 or 2004. What Wendy Wore Sweater: Alberta Ferretti…
