What Wendy Wore: Amanda’s Wedding

On Friday, I went to the wedding of my friends Amanda Forro and Mike Roche.

CONGRATS, YOU GUYS!

I wanted to look super-festive for the happy occasion, so I wore a recently eBay-ed Todd Oldham dress.

What Wendy Wore
Dress: Todd Oldham, Spring 1996 (acquired in 2015)
Purse: Prada (2007)
Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti (2014)
Jewelry: My own designs
Lip color: Whirl (the lipstick, not the liner) from MAC

I’ve always wanted one of the rainbow mosaic designs from Todd’s Spring 1996 collection. The look is so distinctive. Cheerful, too! All the legendary supermodels walked Todd’s runways, and several of them wore the mosaic pieces in that show , including Cindy Crawford …

… and my all-time favorite model, Linda Evangelista.

I’ve never found one of the mosaic designs in the right size and this was no exception, but at least it was too big rather than too small. That meant Jean of Ghost Tailor could make it wearable. I’m going to take the dress back to her for a little more adjustment at the top. I’ve found that when a piece is much too large, it can take two tries to cut it down to its perfect size.

Separately, I love a photobooth opportunity — especially one with props — so I had a great time posing with MrB and my gorgeous friends Stacy, Alyssa and Jen for the official wedding photobooth.

MrB looked good in that plastic Viking helmet.

A photobooth is one place I don’t feel self-conscious in front of a camera because looking silly is encouraged!
