I’m not in the habit of taking pictures of my outfits before I wear them, but I made an exception for this Alexander McQueen suit. I’ll be wearing it when I fly to D.C. for an event and I am sure that the gored skirt will be rumpled by the time I deplane. Luckily, gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman lives around the corner and was willing to come over at 10 p.m. just to take some photos. What a good friend!
What Wendy Will Wear
Skirt suit: Alexander McQueen (between 2002 – 2004)
Shell: Alexander McQueen (between 2002 – 2004)
Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana (2008)
I last wore this suit in 2004. I got it sometime between 2002 and 2004. The peach shell is transparent (no taking off the jacket) and matches the peach insets in the suit jacket. I told Stacy that I couldn’t believe I wore a suit like this at a conservative place like Lehman Brothers. She started to say that she didn’t see a problem despite the relatively short skirt … and then I turned around.
As you can see, from the side, the skirt emphasizes one’s bottom more than the typical banker’s suit does. I think Stacy’s comment was something like, “It screams, ‘Look at my ass!'” Plus there’s the whole transparency issue. Here’s the back view.
Now that I’ve seen these photos, I think I’m going to wear the suit with the Michael Kors shoes I wore in this post. Those were the shoes I wore with it originally. We shall see!
Hi there!! What a chic look, the suit really emphasises your gorgeous figure and you look amazing in it! xx
I hope you never took the jacket off at Lehman Bros! I like the Kors shoes x
gorgeous! I love both outfits and both shoes! 🙂
xoxo
I love it with the Dolce shoes you have on. The quality clothing you have!
What a gorgeous suit…you will look fabulous! I love the lines…so flattering!!
Aw, man, I love the details!
LOVE the skirt.
What a fabulous suit!! Fits you like a glove 🙂
what’s the fun in wearing suits if you actually can’t have a little fun in them. This further points out that even you could have gone to the Met wearing McQueen!
Beautiful suit. And as for the, um, rear view: Hey, if you’ve got it…… why not flaunt it? (says me of the flat butt).
You have what the scientific world calls “a candy butt.” That is definitely not a banker’s bum.
I laughed at “the whole transparency issue.” You look fabulous — these shoes look better than the others IMHO.
you look smashing in that suit.,
Adore it! I’ll admit I had a “Futurama” moment when Stacy made her “ass” remark! That skirt feature takes the suit to another level!

Fantastic skirt! Business in the front, party in the back? Lol! No really, you look smashing, Wendy. I adore McQueen’s great details.
I love those bum ruffles!
I am in love with the jewels I saw on this blog…and your outfit is lovely, especially the shoes ! xoxox
Wow, loving the back of that skirt. I can see what you mean about rumpling but it’s definitely worth the risk.
I believe my comment was, “Let me frame my ass for you all to see!” The seaming sure does put it on display! But, you are lucky enough to be able to get away with that — your svelt figure and all. It’s a hot look WendyB!
What a great suit… not to mention a great ass! Work it, girl.
can i borrow your suit for my interview on wednesday?! 🙂 🙂
Love the jacket – have you been to the McQueen exhibition yet?
You were a very bright light in a very dull environment. Many a man or woman must have had to avert their eyes! xx
I would so do business with you. 😀
Mwuah!
Again, I aver, your miniskirt days are NOT—I repeat—NOT—over!
