A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny…

Outfit Post: All Clogged Up
I used to say, “Never say never” when it comes to fashion, but I’m taking it to the next level and declaring, “Never is the next new thing.” I’m convinced that the styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are most loved…
2022 in Review: What Wendy Wore, Part I
This week, I decided to look up my 2021 “year in review” posts and was shocked — not Casablanca-style fake SHOCKED but genuinely SHOOK — to discover I didn’t write any for the first time since 2011. No year-end Jewel of the Month wrap-up, even though I had conscientiously featured one of my designs each…
Throwback Thursday: Leather Painted by Lyko
My painted motorcycle jacket has already appeared on the blog numerous times. Artist Andrew Lyko customized it for me last year, and now I like to wear it when I’m going to be arrested. I’m so glad I never purged this jacket from my closet like you’re “supposed to” with clothes you never wear. This jacket…
What Wendy Didn’t Wear: Patrick Kelly Mini Dress
For last week’s video on the late designer Patrick Kelly, I wore a Kelly dress that I’ve never worn out in the real world. Can you guess why this one stays in the closet? What Wendy Didn’t Wear Dress: Vintage Patrick Kelly (probably from eBay, maybe purchased around 2008?) Boots: Prada (2012-ish) If you truly…
Instagram Recommendation: The AIDS Memorial
In honor of World AIDS Day, I’m going to say a few things about the The AIDS Memorial Instagram account — one of the most important and moving accounts on the ‘Gram, in my opinion. CLICK TO VISIT THE AIDS MEMORIAL ON INSTAGRAM. I’ve been meaning to write about this account since last year, when…
Slow-Fashion Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2017
To bring 2017 to a close, I’m taking a look back at 12 “What Wendy Wore” highlights, with an emphasis on slow fashion. Click the photos for the original posts. January began with all gold everything, as I rang in 2017 in a gold gown first worn in 2004. This time, I added a crown….
Wanderlust 2015: London, Bath and Alexander McQueen
I’m in need of a vacation … from the vacation I just took. MrB and I like to spend our off-time in other cities, especially London and Paris. We wind up dashing from dinners with friends to the theater, from the theater to concerts, from concerts to museums. Last year, we got in some relaxation…
Concert Adventure, Part I: Waiting for the Monster Tour
In March, when Rihanna and Eminem announced the dates for their joint, three-city Monster Tour, I wasn’t sure what tickets to get. It would be practical to get seated tickets, but in huge venues like New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which has over 80,000 seats, even the best seats are fairly far away from the stage….
My Best Dressed at the Grammys: Hat-Loving Pharrell Williams
Fashion at the Grammys is so much more interesting than at the acting-oriented awards shows. Personal style is part of the package for musicians. They don’t have to be “pretty” or “appropriate.” They only need to make a statement about themselves — the more distinctive, the better. This means, naturally, that my Best Dressed/Wear What…
