For Throwback Thursday, I’m going to catch up on some of the outfits I wore in January. I’ve been too distracted by political activity to do my usual outfit posts! I joined a local Indivisible group<\/a>, which I highly recommend. Indivisible aims to bring Tea Party-inspired, grass-roots activism to progressive causes, and it’s a good way to work with people in your neighborhood.<\/p>\n

With politics in mind, I’ll start with an outfit that I wore in D.C. for dinner (in a mall), the night before the Women’s March on Washington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nHat:<\/strong> Hand-knit “Hillary” hat, in charcoal and purple<\/a> (a gift from my mother, 2016)<\/em>
\nT-shirt:<\/strong> A birthday gift from my right-hand woman Eryn (2016)<\/em>
\nDenim jacket:<\/strong> Vintage Kikit (bought from eBay in 2015, previously seen here<\/a>)
\nCoat:<\/strong> Pucci (not sure what year, previously mentioned in 2013<\/a>)
\nJeans:<\/strong> Madewell (2016)
\nBoots:<\/strong> Opening Ceremony (some discount website, 2016)
\nBag:<\/strong> Tumi (2017)
\nUnseen necklace:<\/strong> My own NASTY<\/a> design<\/em><\/p>\n

I did have a “pussy” hat for the march itself …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Eryn designed our signs with Purrkoy on them.<\/p><\/div>\n

… but, as you can see, mine is gray, not pink. I got it before the election<\/a>, simply because I wanted a hat with ears! It had no political meaning back then.<\/p>\n

About a week before the march, I was looking much more glamorous at the Jewelers of America GEM Awards. Those are the Oscars of the jewelry industry. I wore a no-name vintage dress that I’ve had since at least 2005<\/a>. Possibly 2004. Here’s how it looked this year (click the photo to enlarge).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nVintage dress:<\/strong> Unlabeled (possibly from eBay, definitely purchased in 2005 or earlier)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2010, seen here<\/a> and many other times)<\/em>
\nEarrings: <\/strong>My own Cleopatra<\/a> design
\nHair: <\/strong>By Julie Matos of Warren-Tricomi
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My hair stylist friend Julie Matos made the back of my hair interesting — with the help of a colorful hairpiece — to match the interesting back of the dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is the same dress in 2005 …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… and again in 2011.<\/p>\n

My favorite picture of it was one taken by the late, great Bill Cunningham<\/a> at the 2011 event.<\/p>\n

I almost wore this one to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February, but I decided on the “cash me ousside” dress instead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also in January, we celebrated the Chinese New Year with friends who took us to a fun New Jersey restaurant called Shanghai Jazz<\/a>. It’s not every day — or even every Chinese New Year — that you get to enjoy jazz and a lion dance during the same dinner. I wore a Shanghai-inspired qipao<\/a> dress by Zang Toi.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Zang Toi (Fall 2014 collection, purchased in 2015. Previously seen here<\/a>.)
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2010)<\/em>
\nPurse:<\/strong> Louis Vuitton (2001)
\nNecklace:<\/strong> My own chicken in egg locket<\/a>, for the Year of the Rooster<\/em><\/p>\n

I have one more big January event to cover, but that deserves its own post. Stay tuned! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
