Current Craze
One Saturday last month, I was shocked to find only a skeleton of where my beloved Built by Wendy store used to be on 3rd Street. With my face pushed up against the glass, I’m sure I disturbed a few diners at the nearby cafe, but that store filled a much-needed niche for vintage inspired clothes with a bit of sass. Luckily, Wendy still has a wonderfully organized site and her Spring line is filled with preppy pieces that will be perfect for outdoor barbecues and daytime concerts.
1. Chambray Drawstring Tank Dress, $239.
2. Chambray Tiered Ruffle Skirt, $171.
3. Patio Stripe Boxers, $149.
4. Patio Stripe Sport Tank Dress, $214.
5. Patio Stripe Pleated Minidress, $214.
6. Window Blouse, $203.
P.S. Don’t you just wish you had this model’s hair? Oh and her tan wouldn’t hurt either.

the clother are so beautiful, the striped shirt and the ruffle skirt are my fav..but no sellers here in Milan

i could see you rockin any of these looks with ease!
eh. a little too plain.
these are so cute and yes…obsessed with her hair!
The tiered ruffle skirt is so pretty!
Love the #5 dress. A website is never as much fun as a boutique. Boo hoo.
I just gave you an award on my blog:) Have a great day!!
I’m sure if I lived in California or somewhere perenially warm and splendid, I would down with her clothes. I’m just too up North and not cooly casual enough for them
i’m crazy about the ruffle skirt !
These are gorgeous. I love the frills and stripes. Plus I would kill to have her hair!
Nice clothes! Gorgeous.
That stripe-y shirt makes it hard to continue on my shopping hiatus. Maybe I’ll use it as inspiration to finally sew up some of the BBW patterns I have lying around.
really good sales too, check back often and you’ll find all this on sale. i’d wear it all!
Those are adorable! I know where that store is and I didn’t know it was gone
P.S I’m dying for her tan. I just did a swimwear post and I was thinking…ummm well these winter legs aren’t going to work!
Love your blog!
You and this model have similar hair as well as skin tone. And the fact that you don’t recognize it is annoying.
Wow, wish we had that brand here. Love that tiered skirt!!
I love this collection. I really want that ruffle skirt. Thanks for the insight.
Stay fab,
CS

Oooh, outfits 4, 5 and 6 are gorgeous! What lovely pieces!

ooh, love #5. don’t love the price. that’s a wallet-buster. darn.
I’m totally in love with everything especially the ruffled skirt, and the #5 dress.
I love the outfits, but #3 looks a bit J-Lo.
I have been looking for her spring line…weeeeee
so refreshing, makes me long for spring
I love outfit #2! I am a sucker for ruffles, high waisted skirts with tanks. I hope that look never goes out of style!
