Rewind! I meant to do a “great minds think alike” post about the vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore on New Year’s.
Clearly Gwen Stefani agrees that black-and-white-striped, one-shoulder dresses never go out of style.
Gwen wore her dress first, but Clovis made my dress first. As I previously mentioned, my dress came from gorgeous blogger Cherie at Shrimpton Couture. Her site is a must-see if you’re looking for a special outfit. If you want to know more about Cherie herself, read the interview I did with her last July.
Don’t forget to keep voting for me for best fashion blog here. You can vote once every 24 hours and so can all your friends, family members, employers, employees, pets and drug dealers. I have no shame! I’ll take a vote from anyone. Here are my campaign speeches:
- You Know You Want Me (with endorsements from the late Harry Nilsson and the current Danny Devito)
- No, Really, You Want ME (don’t let fashion negativity win the day!)

I love the dress and I’ve already voted twice and will probably do it a few more times.
Alicia/InstantVintage says
I know Wendy, I know. Silver and gold are perfectly good bed buddies.
And I have voted for you a few times, so I think you can lay off the death threats now.

Sharon Rose says
Hi there-all your Clovis Ruffin dresses are awesome, this one is just really cute on you!
Make Do Style says
don’t mean to sound like the a gimp biatch but you look so much better than Gwen. She’s lovely but her dress isn’t a patch on yours!
My drug dealer is out of town otherwise he’d have to vote…
Farren says
I’ll get my pets to vote for you! I’m sure I can get the local drug dealers to vote for you as well. I’ll even make the annoying boys who think zooming up the road on their rusty and rattling mopeds to vote for you! =)
I’m going to go and check out that website too! I love the diagonal striped dress.

Jaimehwkns, I am working on several of them at once. They take forever and I tend to put them off because trying to squeeze so much info into a blog post without boring people to death is exhausting. I will try to get one done for next week though.
Other peeps, thanks for your kind remarks on the dress. When I saw it on Cherie’s site I knew immediately it had to be mine. I think Gwen looks pretty fabulous in hers. Maybe I can learn to imitate her poses so it doesn’t look like I’m propping up a wall.
Sal says
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assert that your mind is FAR greater than dear, sweet Gwen’s. I’m just sayin’. Regardless, you both look fab in the diagonal stripes.
fashion herald says
“the stripes are on the diagonal and so am i!” hahahaha! i’d totally hit the diagonal if I looked as cute as you in that dress.
THE HOUSE OF STYLE says
