You know those times you’re looking at a fashion editorial in a magazine and see the Best!Thing!Ever!? And you have to have that thing, so you look for the store credits and then get depressed when it says “stylist’s own”? I felt like I was in a fashion magazine on Sunday when designer<\/a>\/blogger<\/a>\/FIT instructor<\/a>\/stylist\/neighbor Stacy Lomman ran over to my apartment to lend me her own sweater so that I’d have the perfect going-out-to-dinner outfit.<\/p>\n

\"dinner.jpg\"What Wendy Wore, Styled by Stacy Lomman<\/strong>
\nNavy sweater:<\/strong> Stylist’s own<\/em>
\nSkirt:<\/strong> Zang Toi (2005<\/a>)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2012, birthday gift from MrB<\/a>)<\/em>
\nPurse:<\/strong> Louis Vuitton (2011<\/a>)<\/em>
\nLipstick:<\/strong> Chanel Rouge Double Intensit\u00e9 in Ruby Lite<\/a><\/em>
\nJewelry:<\/strong> All my own designs, as usual<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I normally wear the lacy Zang Toi skirt with a matching sleeveless turtleneck, as seen in this 2009 post<\/a>. But Stacy decided it could be more versatile. She found a couple of dressy options in my closet during our wardrobe therapy project<\/a>, but she wanted to make the skirt more casual for my informal dinner, hence the loaned sweater. Stacy knew I would like the sweater because it has the kind of feminine flourish<\/a> I like, thanks to two decorative buttons and ribbon.<\/p>\n

Combining the skirt with the chunky platform loafers was obviously Stacy’s idea too. I never would have gone there on my own, but I wound up thinking an edgy look was so much better than the “pretty” shoe I would have chosen. Another remarkable aspect of this outfit? There’s no black in it! Amazing. I just hope I don’t lose my Manhattan residency after deviating from the local uniform of all black everything.<\/p>\n
