Q: What is black, white and tight all over?
A: My skirt.
Do not buy a skirt a size down thinking that it will be okay. It won’t be okay. What will happen is you will suck in so much that you will bust an organ and you will internally bleed to death. Or worse, you will show up to a department meeting looking like Peggy Bundy had she followed her dream to be a nine-to-fiver. And then you will bust an organ and die. Doubly so if you buy that tiny skirt in leopard print.
I’ve had a few emails and comments asking about the time constraints on this 30 for 30 challenge. Guys, guys, guys — there is no real time limit to this challenge. It’s simply putting together 30 outfits out of 30 items. No worries if it happens in 30 days or if it happens in two years. However, if it takes you 2 years to remix 30 items, I might have to disqualify you, meaning you won’t get a participation ribbon at the end of the challenge.

Not too tight at all. Love that deep emerald! Wouldn't have ever thought to pair it with a leopard print skirt. Fabulous!
clothed much, a modest fashion blog
It doesn't look too tight so it must all be in your mind! I actually changed for date night so that's 4 outfits down already! Yippee!
p.s. why the B?
Even if your fabulous leopard print skirt is a bit too tight for your liking, it still looks AMAZING! Leopard is my favorite print, and while I would not normally go for black and white leopard, this outfit has inspired me to rethink that! The teal really pops with the black and white. Love it.
Thought that skirt was in navy when I checked it out at Loft. If you need to pass it on, I know someone who will give it a nice home. Better yet, trade for an anthro skirt.
i love the first pic of you with the sunglasses! tres tres chic. and wow the print of the skirt is bold! can't wait to see how else you will style it.
Your skirt has a great print! I knew you said you were adding color, but this outfit is like, WOW! I love it. 😀
I absolutely am in lust with this whole outfit.
I love your combination of turquoise and red! I used similar colors in my outfit for today and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely!
I really like how bold your outfit is without being TOO bold… Um. That was extremely contradictory. I like the bold and simple pattern on the skirt with the solid colors elsewhere. Ha, ha. Also, I don't think your skirt looks too tight or anything, it seems to fit just right! But then I'm not the one wearing it. And you're totally right about not buying things that are a bit too small… UGH. Even if it's cute, you won't wanna wear it..!
I ADORE this outfit! It seems a little more risque than the Kendi I've come to know and love, but I think it suits you.
I hope your organs survive the imminent second-wearing of this skirt during this remix challenge. Also I love the red and green together. 🙂
I think it looks great!
I am a new follower, you and your blog are gorgeous 🙂

Love this look! The leopard skirt looks terrific on you and I love the teal+red color combo!

Busting of the internal organs is never good (unless you're going for that Alien-the-movie look), but having Peg Bundy as a style beacon is nice. 🙂 Despite its reputation, I still love leopard print– it looks fab on you!

Wow! you're doing it again! I haven't checked your blog for some time and what a surprise!! And so many remixers!! Great!!
You might have me on your next one (if there will be one!) since I am a bit late for this one (what a lame excuse! ;)) and I like my freedom in clothing in the summer (lame again, I know! ;)). Fall sounds good to me for this kind of challenge! 😉
Anyways, good luck!
And I really love this outfit! The skirt is great and the color combo as well! <3
And the first one was too cute!! <3
cute outfit!
Haha, I've written abiut Peggy a ton on my blog – she has mad style!
And I actually have a post cued up professing my love for Mrs. Roper … the universe is sending out signals again – it must be controlled by Larry Dallas.
Love this outfit!

This outfit is smoking hot! You look great in the unexpected color combo and leopard print. Note to self- find more leopard print!
Gorgeous outfit!
I love this idea, definitely sticking around for more 🙂
xx miss anonymous.
I love the combination of red and turquoise with this leopard print! I also love that you chose a background that allows you to stand out against it. You look great.
Internally bleeding isn't good, but at least it's not messy. You'd also die looking good if that's any relief . . . for the record though you don't look uncomfortable or like your bleeding internally just very chic and put together.
like my mother always told me, "you have to suffer to be beautiful". That skirt doesn't look tight at all, it looks grrrrrreat!
Super cute- love the bright top and bold print!
woohoo! big wolf whistle! me likey!
This is my first time at your blog and I love the concept of this 30 in 30! Great idea.

Don't forget to enter my bow headband giveaway if you haven't already! <3
i loveeeeee that skirt haha. it definately doesn't look too tight on you. and the little b necklace is super sweet 🙂
Fabulous outfit! I love using animal prints as a "neutral."
I like the tiny leopard print skirt. I hear you on a too tight skirt though. Mine was a little tight yesterday too and it HURTS to wear it! 🙂
This is gorgeous. I never would have guessed that skirt was too small. CUTE!
I'm guessing you didn't buy the skirt a size too small, because clearly you have not busted an organ and bled internally to death.
I love the color combo. As much as I'm looking forward to seeing your creativity in outfits, I'm also looking forward to seeing your creativity in naming all of your posts with numbers!
Omgah you are so cutes! You look as if you're in Italy, strolling the streets. Do not confuse that with "doing the stroll on the streets." That's a diff blog altogether! A nsfw one.
I picked me up some Peg Bundy leopard-print leggings this weekend. Meow.
I think the skirt is fab, and so perfect with those brights.
that skirt rocks!Love how you paired it with turquoise.
Love that skirt with the green top! Wishing for long legs today. Enjoy them 😉
i LOVE this outfit!
and you are just adorable and gorgeous! great photos!
The leopard and green both pop against each other! OH man, this is going to be an amazing 30 outfits, I can feel it Kendi!
lovin' the color combo!
🙂
You are looking so so pretty Kendi! And no way you are talking about that current skirt being too small for you, right? It looks perfect from where I sit 🙂 Good luck with the rest of your outfits!
Love these colors on you!!!..where did you get your necklace? its soo wonderfully pretty!..
janet.
Adore this outfit – the colors are amazing and work so well together! Bravo for Day 3!!
And I hope there is no internal bleeding from the too-tight skirt – I would dearly, dearly miss your blog 🙂
Small Time Style
Love it! I am so excited about the 30 for 30, which may be a little odd since I am not even participating in it. Maybe later I'll throw my hat in the ring for a bit.
Kendi that skirt is definitely not too tight! Honest!! I think it's soo cute and you look fab! I think I might just need to get that anthro tank
Such a gorgeous, chic, effortless ensemble! Love it!
I love this combo… I so need another pencil skirt….
Okay, even if it IS a little small, it's still way cute and I totally want one.
I'd give up a spleen for that skirt, because it is just that fabulous. The color combination is divine.
obsessed with this outfit Kendi! You've really started off strong…no pressure for the next 27 days or anything 😉
2 things:
1. I'm new here.
2. I like you.
I lurve your outfit ten-fold! It's adorable. And your comment about starting a blog and it's a girl – well, you just summed up my life, so I am happy to have found your blog!
That skirt is to die for (if you'll pardon the comment after your references to burst and bleeding to death).
Great little outfit! I would like to join the challenge please. I thought I had commented before but obviously didn't. I shall be starting tomorrow and look forward to the challenge!! Bring on the remix. I am following you and will be adding your button in tomorrows post too!!
Thanks for this great challenge!

It's so funny to see this post because I almost bought this skirt over the weekend (I mean everything was 40% off – I was pretttty tempted) but they didn't have it in my size. I almost bought it anyways, but then couldn't decide between the size smaller or the size larger. This is like the universe's way of telling me kudos on resisting the skirt.
That said, I don't think this skirt looks to tight on you, nor do you look like Peg Bundy. You look adorable (although an x-ray of your organ damage may prove me wrong…)
Even if it is too tight and your organs might explode/burst, I still think this outfit looks great. I love the color of your top, and you are a lucky girl to have a friend who would give you such an awesome bag! (I love the color of it too).
i LOVE your skirt … no matter what size it was!
From the pictures that skirt doesn't appear Peg Bundy at all 😉 However, I have been stuck in the one size too small pencil skirt dilemma, and it definitely is not pretty….and sucking your stomach in all day is seriously uncomfortable…
I love the color combo! Each piece really pops against that background and yet they all work together really well.
love the skirt! seriously almost bought this at LOFT…hope it's still there in 30 days!

Fabulous skirt! It doesn't look too tight to me. Also, I really want that bag.
This is SOOOOOOO frickin cute on you!!! One of my favorites.

Wow! I would have never put those colors together but they look fab! Must copy immediately… Also, where is your necklace from? So sweet 🙂
Not too tight at all! I would have never put these colors together. Thanks for the inspiration!
your #3's my current fave! it has all the right color combination, it looks very cheerful, perfect for you:)
You look fab. I love your skirt and your bag!
Great outfit – looking forward to seeing your other outfits you come up with 😀

So, upon first reading, I thought it said "bust an orgasm," and I thought, "Wow! That is some kind of skirt." Then I slowed down, reread and realized the error of my ways. Either way, that skirt is killer. I want I want I want. Definitely my favorite look of the week!
I really love this outfit–especially that fresh color with the skirt and the accent colors of belt/purse. It looks fantastic!

You are dazzling! And I love the dazzle of your style and your senses.
