When it comes to holiday-appropriate dressing, I can rarely resist a Same Time, Next Year scenario. A vintage Moschino dress with a big heart on it gets worn nearly every Valentine’s Day.
Now I seem to have a Bastille Day-in-Paris favorite: the red, white and blue Alexander McQueen that I wore last year.
I wore it again yesterday for a Bastille Day dinner on a boat.
What Wendy Wore in Paris for Bastille Day 2011
Dress: Alexander McQueen (2010)
Shoes: Prada (2011)
Necklace: My own Mia locket
There were also peeps dressed in period costumes …
… beautiful scenery …
… and fireworks, of course.
I hope to do it all again in 2012!

Patti @ NotDeadYet Style says
Way to celebrate a French holiday, Wendy! The McQueen dress is splendid, I hope it gets lots of holidays.
Lara says
If it works and you feel comfortable, it sure is a lot better than agonizing over what to wear! You’re soooo lucky to go every year! Loved your Twitter pics. Looks like you had an amazing time!
Mary says
Can I borrow that Moschino dress? Thanks in advance xoxo
Penny Dreadful Vintage says
No prize hogs this year! I do the same thing as you, but on a smaller scale. As in, I wear the same pair of jeans all week.

Liz says

Wendy, you’re a star! You own the most exquisite clothes and enjoy them for years, you could teach these throw-away fashionistas a thing or two. x
lisa says
It looks like a lot of fun!
GRIT & GLAMOUR says
How lucky are you to be able to go to France annually? And who can blame you for repeating. The dress is perfect for the season and the occasion. I love that you wear your things repeatedly, and you share that. If you buy things you love, why on earth wouldn’t you?
Nickie Frye says
I love your Bastille Day dress! (And the big heart dress, for that matter). Hope all is well! xoxo
Eli says

Audi says
Well, your Bastille Day celebration definitely trumps mine; it just isn’t the same celebrating it in San Francisco! You look tres chic in your McQueen dress.
