Good news my friends — I upgraded to a real office today at work. I reside in a cubicle no longer. I now have 4 walls and a door instead of 3 partitions and an opening. And now I have a window. I know this seems like lame news but this is my first real office. You know what they say, every time a young girl gets an office, Donald Trump gets a new wig. Or something like that.
So not only did I get a new office at work today, I also moved my old office in its entirety to my new one. I was unaware of this move when I got dressed, so my outfit wasn’t exactly conducive to this type of labor. Had I known that the move was today I certainly wouldn’t have adorned myself in my favorite skirt and a heavy necklace, but they held up pretty well during the move. I also don’t know how many people I flashed today, but some things are just better left unknown.
The shoes I wore today are from 1999*. That’s right, eleven years old. I think that I got my $19.99 worth, no? I’m a big fan of cheap shoes. Mainly because I can’t afford anything expensive but I have shoes from Payless and Target that have lasted forever. I also enjoy Steve Madden shoes when they go on sale. Well, I take that back. I would enjoy them full price too if someone gave them to me. I do not place judgement on full-priced gifts. But I do on sale-priced gifts. (You know who you are…)
*I think that’s right.

Goodness, I adore that necklace. Great look!

Congratulations on the office!
This look is great and I'm so impressed with your pictures, wow
Oh jeez! I remember that skirt from one of your last Austin visits, and now I REALLY wish I had gone directly to Anthro and bought one for myself, even if it would've been a direct copy-cat thing to do.
Why didn't I buy it? WHHHHHHYYYYY?
I love that outfit…sooo cute! I want that skirt! Congrats on getting an office. Very VIP. 🙂

Congrats on upgrading into an office. That was a HUGE deal for me to have a door to shut when I had to have those rare personal conversations on the phone.
Congratulations!! A new office is a big deal. And you look so cute! I love that necklace.
I love that last picture. Wonderful!
Such a pretty necklace! You have a lovely smilex

That's exciting. I was happy that my cube had a window, so I totally get how excited you are about an actual office with a window too!
i love that necklace … this look is so perfectly anthropology!
i love this look! i've been eying that stormy sea necklace on eBay for months… and GREAT shoes! they certainly do not look liked you "paid less!"
brilliant styling!
Wow, I love all the yellow doors! I'm so jealous, I want an office too!
You can flash me any day! Lol. Also great shoes, I love something that is cheap AND stands the test of time.
this outfit is so cute! love the necklace and skirt! wowzuhh 🙂
The 90's were a great decade…. it only makes sense! 🙂 Love love love the outfit!
to be blunt, it kind of disgusts me how you can wear what seems like a baby step up from a kitten heel, and still look like your walking on stilts. for my birthday, I'd like half your legs. Don't worry, I'm sure you'd still look tall. K thanks.
necklace? love it, need it.
the office? three words: afternoon dance party
hubby who finds these amazing locations? rent him out to teach other male sig others.
Congrats on the new office! I looove this skirt, so cute!
So exciting!! I long for the day when I have an office and a window instead of a cubby. It'll be much easier to hide the fact that I'm not working. 🙂

congrats on the new office! i still sadly sit in a cubicle… which is actually more like the equivalent of a 3-D triangle… a pyramid? i took geometry at about the same time that you purchased those shoes. anyway, it only has two and a half walls, which is not so conducive to blog-reading, etc.
ps that necklace is awesome!
I love ur skirt is it from modcloth?

Cute outfit and congrats on the office space! I just added you to my blog roll, by the way.
I clicked over here from Ginger Girl's blog, and your "About Me" snippet gave me the best laugh – congrats on your girly girl, she is a joy and beauty!
Kendi you are such a cutie.. and so witty. Congrats on your office! Yay you. 🙂 Windows are a must in an office. I get to look at the ocean all day. 🙂
xx Love & Aloha
I have lots of shoes!! you can have some of mine… 🙂
Loveee this! Your skirt is darling.. and I'm digging these photos!
Cute outfit. Congrats on your office! I was very excited when I got my first office, even though it doesn't sound as nice as yours is. Just to have a space where you can close the door is nice.
1. love those yellow doors — fab background choice!
2. as always, super cute 'fit.
3. congrats on the office move! i always think little things like that have a tendency to be the most exciting…
4. i feel like this is a silly question, but… the light in all of your pictures is always so beautiful — and it looks really consistent. do you take your pictures before you go off to work? (are you — gasp — one of those crazy morning people?!)
I love your necklace!

I have that same necklace, but in light blue 🙂
I've been following for a while but I don't remember if I have ever commented. I love your style and find it very inspiring!~
This is my first comment on your hilarious blog, so I'll try to make it funny…
Congrats on the office! I've been trying to get an office for years, but the people at my work are obviously very tolerant of loud eating and heavy perfume. Wonderful outfit, gorgeous pictures.

Kendi,
Love your style and great idea with the arrows to point out where the outfits are from!

Wow! That's sincerely awesome news. I've been an admin for eight long years, and only once had my own office, for a period of about three months, before they took it away and gave it to someone with a higher pay grade. Ah capitalism.
this is springtime perfection. the necklace is my favorite part. i wouldn't have thought to pair a more voluminous sleeve with the skirt but i kinda like it.
your lovely necklace matches the excitement of your new job! your photos really capture your joy.
congratulations!
xo.
