MrB and I held our New Year’s Eve dinner for friends at Narcissa<\/a>, the restaurant at the Standard Hotel in the East Village. As planned, I wore a new-to-me, secondhand dress that I got because of its Klaus Nomi-esque shoulder pads and V-shaped sheer panel in the front<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"nye2016outfit2crop\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Brian Lichtenberg (purchased in 2015)<\/em>
\nBoots:<\/strong> Prada (2013? I forget because they’ve never made it into a photo!)<\/em>
\nJewelry:<\/strong> My own designs<\/em><\/p>\n

Julie Matos, my superstar-hair-stylist friend, found this dress for me on the vintage\/consignment racks at Bond 07 by Selima<\/a>. I wondered if it was an artifact from the big-shouldered 1980s, but Julie pointed out the big exposed zipper in back was modern. I finally checked the label tonight and discovered that the dress is by modern designer Brian Lichtenberg<\/a>! Favorite jewelry customer Britney Spears<\/a> and Ashley Tisdale both wore it in hot pink in 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n
