I talked to my dad today. He asked if I was going to post on my “twelve fingers”. (I didn’t tell have the heart to tell him this was my 13th outfit.) I told him no, jokes over, I’m leaving the finger counting to the elementary kids and the photoshop tricks to graphic designers. He then proceeded to tell me about a friend of his named Bob — who had twelve fingers. You know what they called Bob in school? Twelve Finger Bob. Clever, right? I would have gone for Baker’s Dozen Bob, but I guess he would have needed an extra finger rounding him out to 13.
Bob wouldn’t have liked me.
So extra appendages aside, thank you all for your comments yesterday. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who has to take a few breath’s before walking out the door in the morning. (And not just because I’m unathletic and a heavy breather.)
My sister called me today and told me she liked my “cow skirt” instead of my leopard print skirt. How cute is that?
Bob also called. He said to tell you guys hi and to give you a high six.

The high six comment just had my laughing out loud for real over here. Too funny.
I love the varying shades of neutrals in your outfit here….As a girl who loves color, it's a nice change of pace to see interesting neutrals on someone!

That poor guy! He must have had a hard time as a kid 🙁
Love this outfit on you, I adore the way you use and match colour xo

I laughed hysterically on the "high six"!! And I do actually know a baby that was born with 12 fingers and the doctor tied this black string around the extra 2 and they fell off weeks later! Weird!!! Love the outfit! Tell Bob to tie off his extra fingers!!
so adorable!! I love this outfit! And honestly don't worry – sometimes it's hard for all of us to take on the day! I have my fair share of hard days too. xoxo
Dadgummit Kendi, how is this skirt so long on you? I have the exact same one, bought for the fabulous sale price on Tulle, and it's definitely not work-appropriate. I love all the outfits you put together with it, and it looks fantastic on you- it just makes me so envious that I can't wear it like that!
so funny with the high six! you look so cute, especially in the first photo ^^
Okay so I love your outfits and all but how do you get your so effortlessly perfect? It always looks adorable!
*hair
hahaha
that is the key noun to complete this crazy madlib!
That's a lot of numbers…can't quite keep up. Very cute outfit though!
Dude. You are having a totally awesome hair day. Those are the best.
So adorable! Love your dad and wish i could have your hair! So somehow I caught up and passed you? I'm on outfit #15 today?

Kendi – I just found your blog recently and it's so fresh and sassy! I LOVE your wardrobe – especially that beautiful mustard Loft dress you wore the other day with the stripped belt – I NEED that dress!!!
do you take your pictures before or after work? i dont see how you stay so polished til the end of the day! you're a rockstar.
also isnt it so funny when your family starts reading your blog and asking you about it?! it always makes me squirm!
Beautiful and hilarious! I don't know how you do it!

You are so darling! I wish I lived in a warmer climate so I could pull off some of those skirts and short sleeves. It may be July but I'm still wearing sweaters to work!
You're so cute, Kendi! I like the POP! of pink in your outfit.
Another winner. Reading your posts always makes me laugh, your sense of humour is so great! Lovely outfit, great mix of the colours and you look very chic.
I can't believe those pumps are from Old Navy. Let's see a receipt.
Love your blog, and I love this challenge. I thought of you when I saw this in The New York Times:

I love your blog 🙂 You have such great fashion sense and you always make me laugh!
I'm loving the challenge…it's fun to see how you "rediscover" your clothes by being forced to wear them in different outfits.
Love your outfit!!
the color combination is just perfect:)

Love the gray!
clothed much, a modest fashion blog
I have to give you more props on your outfit. I love how you keep everything simple, but you still look fabulous. You're an inspiration! 🙂
P.S. Have a good weekend! (weekendi!)
I swear, every time you make a new outfit post those photos become my favorite! How on earth do you keep your hair so perfect all the time!? I love your blog updates!
Love your pics, you always look fab. I love that your sis called it a cow skirt. I just learned the other day that my husband doesn't know the diff between a dress and a skirt… Really? Is fashion THAT complicated?

lo-o-ove this skirt.
just saw that tank in the store and thought, "that's a kendi top." i deciphered it as a vote of approval/excuse for purchase.
I agree, 12 finger Bob is too expected.. I love how the outfit compliments your skin tone, and how you added just enough color to make the outfit "pop" I could definitely see this photo spread in a magazine..
