MrB and I had Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar last week. I had surprised him earlier by sending roses to his office. After all, does a bouquet even EXIST if your colleagues don’t see it?
I have a Moschino heart dress that I like to wear on Valentine’s Day, but this year, I wasn’t in the mood for dressing up. I went for my more casual backup: my Gemma Kahng leather vest with a heart on the back.
Here’s the full outfit. If you look closely, you can see the big heart-shaped buttons on the front of the vest.
What Wendy Wore
Vest: Vintage Gemma Kahng (possibly acquired from eBay in 2009.)
Tank: Splendid
Jeggings: J Brand (2010? 2011?)
Boots: Jil Sander (pre-2005)
Purse: Saint Laurent (2013)
Multitasking MrB took the photo while hanging onto my heavy coat. I think my sleevelessness contrasts nicely with the pile of snow in back of me, no?

Love sleeveless with snow. And the perfect vest for Valentine’s Day. Hope it was a glorious celebration.
That's Not My Age says
That leather vest is fab! And I like the idea that a bouquet doesn’t exist if it’s not seen by others (not sure I like the Bad Romance security word though – eek!)
Tina says
Love. Did you have fries with that outfit?
WendyB says
LOL!
Melanie says
When you look great in anything you put on, there’s no need for dressing up. Of course a little vest like this adds a teensy extra punch…
WendyB says
I couldn’t resist the vest!
Megan Mae says
LOVE the vest. The buttons are the cutest part. Flowers are definitely meant to be shown off, and so are our loved ones! Hope you had a good time out with Mr. B.
WendyB says
Gotta love a good button.
Mel says
This outfit is stunning! If a leather vest is your version of casual, I’ve got some serious styling in my wardrobe to do!
Gorgeous, Wendy!
