If you read this post about what I wore for New Year’s Eve in 1994 and 2004, you must have figured out that I was going to wear the red Versace dress from 2004 again. I can’t resist a 10-year fashion anniversary.
What Wendy Wore for New Year’s Eve
Dress: Versace (2004)
Shoes: Prada (pre-2005)
Jewelry: My own designs plus vintage
Gorgeous stylist Julie Matos from Warren-Tricomi did my hair … and attended our traditional New Year’s dinner at Balthazar. She fluffed my curls in the ladies’ room there!

With Julie at Balthazar.
Beautiful Josie Torres did my makeup.

I wish those ladies could do my hair and makeup every day!
Balthazar was rowdy this year! I’m not sure why I didn’t join this conga line, especially with Jimmy Somerville‘s cover of “You Make Me Feel” playing.
I loved that the chic female DJ was playing ’70s and ’80s classics … on vinyl!

I keep hoping I have my vinyl copy of Blondie’s Parallel Lines in storage somewhere.
It was great to be surrounded by friends …

Jen, Stacy and Amanda had fun with the little containers of streamers.
… and seafood …

Give me all the shrimp!
… and Champagne …

Alyssa and Mike discover the motherlode.
… and MrB, of course!

My New Year’s Eve kissee.
I hope whatever you did was fun …
… and that 2015 is off to a great start for you!
Such a fun party! Thank you for having me. xo
Thank you for coming!
So gorgeous! Nobody does red like Valentino, and you. xo
This dress happens to be Versace, but you’ve reminded me that I’ve always wanted a Valentino red dress. Vintage, of course! I have to keep an eye on my fave vintage sites!
