My friend Jim Pensiero<\/a> retired after 31 years at the Wall Street Journal, and there was a huge party for him tonight at Brasserie Ruhlmann<\/a> in Rockefeller Center.<\/p>\n

I belatedly realized that I should have worn the Lolita Lempicka suit<\/a> and Lillie Rubin coat <\/a>that I bought when I worked at the Journal from 1992 to 1995 (during which time I worked with Jim)<\/a>. Instead, I wore a top and skirt combo that dates back only 11 years.<\/p>\n

\"retirementresize\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nTop:<\/strong> Versace (2004)<\/em>
\nSkirt:<\/strong> Versace (2004)<\/em>
\nBoots:<\/strong> Jil Sander (probably 2004\/2005)
\nJacket<\/strong>: Stacy Lomman (2012<\/a>)
\nPurse:<\/strong> Louis Vuitton (2001)
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Alternatively, I could have worn my Wall Street Journal knit top.<\/a> Sheesh. Usually I’m good about dressing for a theme. Anyway, in this post<\/a>, you can see the same Versace kilt and top that I actually did wear tonight in 2004, 2012 and earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Congrats, Jim! I don’t know how they’ll muddle on without you! <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
