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…

White Hot? Already Got!

April 13, 2015 by WendyB

I’m pleased to see that US Magazine says white pantsuits are hot. I can shop my closet for that look. I have a white Versace pantsuit that I bought in 2003. The most recent photo I have of it is from 2007 and the picture is really tiny! Time to bring it out again and…

Musings on Music, Reality TV and Thierry Mugler

April 2, 2012 by WendyB

I like to watch music videos while I’m at the gym. Isn’t that quaint? MTV doesn’t play many music videos these days. I remember when it did. The first video the network aired when it debuted right after midnight on August 1, 1981, was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles. The Buggles need…

Shopping My Closet, in a Way

March 22, 2012 by WendyB

Every so often, I check out the vintage fashion listed on 1stdibs.com.  This time I felt like I’d gone shopping without spending any money. First, I noticed this tie-dyed, velvet Todd Oldham dress from the 1990s. It’s being sold by my gorgeous friend Cherie of Shrimpton Couture. After a moment, I realized why I liked…

What Wendy Wore, Plus Thoughts on Bill Cunningham

June 9, 2011 by WendyB

Last Saturday, I went to an event where I wanted to look serious, so I dug around in my closet for some suits from my (pre-2005) corporate days. First, I tried on a gray skirt suit by Luciano Barbera. I got it at Barneys when I was absolutely desperate for a summer-weight, investment-bank-appropriate suit. I’d…

Vintage Pick of the Day: Jean-Louis Scherrer Suit

May 15, 2011 by WendyB

A gorgeous blogger sent me a link to this vintage suit by Jean-Louis Scherrer ages ago, and suddenly the page is popping up in my browser all the time. I take that as a sign that the suit desperately wants to appear on my blog. The ruffle at the bottom kills me! I remember Scherrer…

What Wendy Will Wear: Alexander McQueen Suit

May 5, 2011 by WendyB

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…
