It’s been so dreary here lately. Are we in Seattle or Dallas? Technically right now I’m on a plane to New York, so my hair is really confused. But with this subdued weather, all I’ve wanted to do is wear basics (we talked about this the other day….) So basics it is. Military jacket? Check. Easy blouse? Check. Pop of color? Check. Ripped skinny jeans in faded black? Totally a basic, ok?
My jeans are actually from HauteLook, you know the site that you sign up for and they have really good sale events for up to 75% off that only last a few days and so you end up downloading the iPhone app and shop while laying in bed in the morning while trying to convince yourself to get up? Just me?
(PS: you can sign up for HauteLook here)

Is your necklace a Toureg cross? Awesome! Where did you buy it?
Tell me about your purse. I've been oogling over it on the Hobo site. How comfortable are the little handles? Does the bottom sag when it's full of shtuff?

I know they're basics, but you look very unbasic! It's because everything has special little touches like the cool hem of that top. Love it!

A great casual look! I love that you paired it with orange heels. Adorable and a fun fall color.

Love the shirt. Having basics means you will always have something to wear when you don't feel inspired to work your fashionista side.
I am addicted to Hautelook! It's seriously dangerous though! I'm always like, well if I buy one more thing it will be free shipping…
I love your perfectly distressed jeans!

A plane to New York? I'm looking forward to when you do your // travel essentials // post that you mentioned awhile back:) The neutral essential list was so great. Although I'm 10 years older than you, our styles are very similar. I've gotten so much fashion inspiration from you – I never thought I would be a blog follower, but I shop at so many of the same stores that you purchase from & I look forward to seeing how you style your pieces! Enjoy your trip!
so obsessed with this top (and you modeling on your site, lookin' good girl!)
My olive utility jacket is an absolute necessity for me…Its on repeat at least 2-3 times a week!

You're keeping me honest girl! I do need to do a travel list. 🙂 Thanks for the sweet words, too.

I love HauteLook! Though it owns my soul and credit card. I love the pop of poppy you have going on 🙂 x
I commented on a previous post about having a similar necklace from when my grandmother lived in Niger, so still curious where you got it! 🙂
I have loved those red/orange suede heels for a very long time. To me they are the "essence of Kendi". You wore those constantly back when your blog was only an infant, back when 30 for 30 put you on the blogging map and taught the world how to get the most out of every piece in their closets. In the past few years that I have been reading your blog I have loved watching you grow, change, and follow your dreams. I know that you have been battling a lot of things lately, and I want you to know that I have rooted for you for a long time and I hope that you continue to chase your passions and find things that make you happy. I'm glad that though we have never met, those heels continue to remind me of all the lessons you have taught me through Kendi Everyday. Thanks for always sharing so much of yourself!
If this is your hair's confused look, then my hair needs to stop understanding things so often
