What Wendy Wore: Versace Jacket From 2004

July 11, 2017 by WendyB

Before it got hot here in New York City, I took some outfit pictures of my hairy, purple jacket from Versace’s fall 2004 collection. My right-hand woman Eryn and I were on our way to a meeting at a Mexican restaurant called La Esquina, aka The Corner — you can see it behind me in…

Shopping My Closet for a Square Bag

June 19, 2017 by WendyB

Shout out to New York Magazine for alerting me to this square bag by Moynat. I’ve been inspired to dust off my old square bag by Muxart. (Isn’t it odd that the brand names are so close?) It was never as glamorous as the Moynat bag and it’s a little the worse for wear now,…

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…

Wednesday’s Video: Betsey Johnson and More Edie

May 24, 2017 by WendyB

Catch me talking about my “homegrown vintage” Betsey Johnson leopard jacket in my new YouTube video! This video builds on last week’s, which referenced style icon Edie Sedgwick, because Edie was Betsey’s fit model in the 1960s. This jacket is especially dear to me because the late New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham photographed me…

What Wendy Wore: Prada Lip Dress From 2012

May 19, 2017 by WendyB

On Wednesday, I went to the 50th-anniversary fundraising dinner for the State University of New York’s Educational Opportunity Program. The EOP provides college access and support to low-income students in New York State — young adults who are often the first ones in their families to go to college. These students haven’t had the advantages…

Wednesday’s Video: 1989 Dress and Slow Fashion

May 10, 2017 by WendyB

In this week’s YouTube video, I talk about the 1989 dress that you saw in yesterday’s post, as well as some other ’80s pieces. That gets me into talking about slow fashion and homegrown vintage.  I like keeping my clothes forever (or at least until they fall apart or don’t fit anymore). I encourage other…
