When I mentioned last week that I’d been admiring the Egyptian jewelry in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I held back on what brought me to the museum. This was not your ordinary cultural outing, but the fantastic wedding reception of Ben Cotton and Abigail Fisch, which was held in the museum’s Temple of Dendur….

What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual
I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…

Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2015
Here’s a “What Wendy Wore” outfit for each month of 2015. (I’m not including any of the looks from my “Outfits on Repeat in 2015” post.) Click the photos for the original posts. I felt great in the Zang Toi jacket and faux-garter tights that I wore to Zang’s runway show in February 2014, so…
What Wendy Wore: The Pre-Halloween Ho Stroll
It’s been a long time since I’ve done the Halloween ho stroll, to borrow a phrase from the highlarious Michael K of Dlisted. I’m more likely to dress for the holiday as a non-sexy Anne Boleyn, Adam Ant, member of Devo, or random Mod girl. That said, I figured that for a drinks date on…
Musical Interlude: Madonna Part II and the Hole-y Spirit
Back in the day, when Madonna would play a series of New York City dates, I’d get tickets to one show and say, “I want to do it again!” as soon as the house lights went up. I finally figured out it was best to always get tickets to two shows, which is why I…

What Wendy Wore: Warm-Weather Thanksgiving
I went to Florida to visit family over Thanksgiving. I feel like I could get used to that. It’s definitely harder to get the holiday blahs when you can wear shorts next to a Christmas tree.

What Wendy Wore: A Shorts Story
I avoided wearing shorts for most of my adult life until 2010, when a New York City heat wave of 100+ degree weather made me break down and buy the first two pairs I saw at the closest air-conditioned store. I don’t know why shorts didn’t appeal to me for so long. I certainly wore…
