I always attend the conferences organized by Initiatives in Art and Culture. At last month’s New York Fashion + Design Conference, I met designers Anna Sui and Zandra Rhodes — and Anna admired my vintage Ossie Clark dress, so I was on cloud nine. CLICK TO SEE ANNA, ZANDRA, AND THE DRESS. I wore a different…

Throwback Thursday: Final Summer 2019 Lewks
Like I said last month, activism has taken a lot out of me and I didn’t blog my relatively few interesting summer looks in a timely fashion. Even in that October post, I only managed two. So here’s the best of the rest from my slow-fashion summer of 2019. On June 12, I was excited…
What Wendy Wore: Slow-Fashion Versace for WJA
Before I went to the Women’s Jewelry Association Awards for Excellence last night, I did a video reminiscing about the excitement of winning WJA’s design award in 2017. It’s a short video and you should watch it in order to appreciate the funny thing I’m going to tell you next. Did you watch it? Are…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday, April 2: I know it’s not everyone’s experience, but I’ve had the pleasure of working with great women all my life.

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…

Tuesday, Nov. 17: Looking sharp with Alyson Walsh. Wednesday, Nov. 18: Adele feels all grown up. Um … hello? Thursday, Nov. 19: I need to wear…
What Wendy Wore: Still Dotty After All These Years
I wore “homegrown” vintage when I went out with gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman on Monday. I got this polka-dot silk top at the Tahari store in New York’s World Financial Center between 1992 and 1995. There was an Ann Taylor store near the Tahari store. I used to go into those two stores every couple…
What Wendy Wore: Betsey Johnson Punk Label for Dog Walking
I’m glad I’m not a celebrity. I would hate to dress up for the paparazzi every time I take the dogs out or make an emergency Cadbury Dairy Milk run. My standard dog-walking look this summer has been unbrushed hair, an oversize concert t-shirt, bike shorts and flip flops. And that’s chic compared to what…
