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….

In a recent video, I spoke about the joy of buying (and wearing!) statement clothing instead of basic pieces. But do I wear decades-old Ossie Clark jackets and beaded ’20s-style dresses all the time?

What Wendy Wore: WJA Awards for Excellence
When I was nominated for a Women’s Jewelry Association award last month, MrB asked if I would be wearing a recently acquired dress to the dinner, or if I needed an even newer dress (What a nice man, right?). I said no to both. I wanted to wear a ’20s-style dress I got 10 years…
