What Wendy Wore: WJA Awards for Excellence

July 28, 2017 by WendyB

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…

What Wendy Wore: Double-Vintage Ossie Clark

May 30, 2017 by WendyB

I just realized this Ossie Clark dress counts as double-vintage! It was at least 30 years old when I bought it — and I bought it 10 or 11 years ago. The first photo of it is from September 2007. Here’s how it looked in a photo shoot last month. What Wendy Wore Dress: Ossie…
