My birthday was yesterday, and I wound up celebrating on Zoom, thanks to Omicron. I did make an effort to dress festively, but only from the waist up. It made it easy to take an outfit photo. I didn’t even have to get off the couch. If those new-to-me pink-and-orange Prada glasses from 2011 look…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2020, Part 1
For the Year in Review post for my What Wendy Wore blog category, I was going to write “Nothing noteworthy” and be like … Hahaha Thats All Folks GIF from Hahaha GIFs But, looking back, there was more style in this hell-fire year than I remembered — and every bit of it reflects political, social,…
Rainy-Day Fashion for Dogs and Wimmins
We’ve had heavy rain in New York today. Thunder-phobic Edward the dog was dressed for the occasion in a ThunderShirt that provided both comfort and camouflage … … until the storm unnerved him so badly that he peed on his little outfit. Meanwhile, I’m completely unprepared because I’ve never gone to a thousand-umbrella fashion show….
No Giant Glove, No Love
I’ve never forgotten the ultra-long gloves my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I saw at Brioni in 2010. At first I found them to be highlarious. Stacy thought they would be good for an elephant costume. But then she slowly and patiently put one on and it looked fabulous! I swear, I’ve been waiting for…
Wednesday’s Video: Get the FACTS
I collect a lot of things — vintage clothes, squish-faced animals, dust — but baseball caps are not on the list. I’m not very sporty, to say the least. In fact, I can’t remember ever noticing a baseball cap until late last year, when I saw a guy wearing a snapback embroidered with the word…
Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…
Wednesday’s Video: Slow Fashion, Purse Edition
Continuing this week’s posts about slow fashion, my new YouTube video stars a few purses that “One Woman” has used for 10 or more years. I’ve had to dig around for photos of a couple of the pre-2007/pre-blog purses featured. At first, I was puzzled by the fact that my rainbow monogram Louis Vuitton —…
Wednesday’s Video: The Drop of a Hat
This week’s YouTube video is about my small collection of (non-knit) hats, and it includes a tip of the hat to gorgeous blogger/Instagrammer/millinery connoisseur Style Crone. After I shot this video, I realized I dropped the ball on my best hat … … just because my top hat’s box is too big to fit onto…
What Wendy Wore: New Year’s Eve Masquerade
It’s “Flashback Friday,” meaning it’s a good day to get around to my New Year’s Eve outfit post. If I procrastinate on this one any longer, I’ll wind up being sucked into a long-term procrastination spiral, at the bottom of which will be the 2018 New Year’s post! To ring in 2017, my peeps and…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and a Big Day for Ears
My designing friend Zang Toi showed his fall 2016 collection on February 13 and I’m just now getting around to writing about it! It was bitterly cold that night and I was thinking, “What could I possibly wear that will keep me warm?” Luckily I was able to squeeze myself into a sweater/dress combination from…
