6.30.10dToday was so rainy. Actually it’s been rainy all week because of Hurricane Alex blowing in south of us. (We’re not on the coast so we won’t see any damage, just lots of rain.) And if there is one weather condition that baffles my wardrobe’s mind its rain. I can dress for snow, heat, wind, and a wintery mix — but summertime rain gets me every time. Because while yes it’s raining, it’s still a balmy 85 degrees out there. So obviously white was out but I also wanted something that was comfortable. That’s when I remembered this shirt I bought years ago and never knew what to do with it. This top was was made for days like today.
Looking at my pictures now, I realize that my shoes are really, really red. I’ve never noticed that before but they kind of look like clown shoes. Size 10 feet are hard to hide, especially when I put them in little red boats against a drab cement sea.
So continuing on my fake mom outfits, let’s call this one “the field trip.” It’s a little casual, a little flashy and I bet that it would leave you a sweet note in your packed lunch.

  1. Thank you Elaine and Shelby. They just jumped out of the picture and surprised me today that's all. I'd give you both hugs if I could.

  2. Size feet doesn't matter one bit. You dress them up nicely! But you're so daring, flats in the rain!? Last time I tried that, I got mine soaked.

  3. Agree with everyone – I love those red shoes! Such a great, easy outfit – love it!

    Now, if you had a red nose AND red shoes – maybe we're venturing into clown territory then. But looks like that accessory got left at home, so no worries! 🙂

  4. When I see you and this outfit, a lot of adjectives come to mind. Chic, approachable, and adorable, to name a few, but NOT clown-like haha! I don't agree with your comment about your awesome shoes, but I do find it hilarious! 🙂

  5. uh…LOVE the shoes, and didn't even notice them until you said something! I no longer live in TX but I do remember those weird rainy yet warm days…don't miss them one bit. =) I do like what you did, you look amazing.

  6. darling, there´s nothing wrong with your feet. I´ve got big feet as well, and I´ve felt like that, too. You look amazing and nobody will even notice the size of your feet in shoes that pretty 🙂

  7. I love your skirt – it is fabulous, and so are your shoes! I see no clown shoes or boat feet at all – you look great!

  8. That's so crazy–you totally stole my clothes and are wearing them!
    Ok, to make up for it you need to give me some of YOUR outfits. With accessories. And red shoes (which are NOT clown shoes at all!).

    Hope you're ok out there!! I've been watching the news to see if Hurricane Alex has you blowing by the screen:
    "Those shoes! That's Kendi! I know it!"

  9. I love the top in this outfit. It looks so comfy, almost like your favorite sweatshirt, and yet you made it work perfectly for work. Love it!

  10. My feet were out of proportion with my body from the age of 8 until I went to college. No joke. My mom called me "Sasquatch." I actually think they miraculously shrunk 2 sizes down to a more-proportioned 8.

    You are super-model tall, so your feet look perfectly proportioned, not at all clownish!

  11. you are so freakin cute. i love love love that top. and that red color looks great on you! are those recent gap purchases?! i also have massive feet (10 toooo).
    it's either a blessing or a curse. I'm 5'9 so they don't look AS dorky but still… i have a nickname – gigantor. lovely.

  13. Kendi I don't know how you do it… another amazing outfit my dear!!! and I love that last photo, you look great!! Meanwhile I have the same problem with rain… I can't stop thinking its cold otu when it's raining and somehow always end up dressed for fall by accident!

  14. That paperbag-waist skirt is just marvelous on you. I would've thought it'd only work with a fitted top, but it's perfect with that slouchy shirt.

  15. Love it! The skirt, the necklace… and of course the top! I agree, no 'boats' or clown shoes, and the color is great! P.s. Thanks for reminding me to check out Target shoes!

  16. That last picture of you is insanely adorable. Also, your shoes are nothing even resembling clownish. They are really cute and I never would have guessed you have size 10 feet.
