Just between me and you, I am exhausted. I will blame no one but myself and the three small children that kicked the back of my chair all the way home from Chicago yesterday. (Karma sucks, kiddos.) But I had to take the day off from an outfit post. Don’t worry, it wasn’t that impressive anyways. It was a half ironed shirt (half ironed meaning I took my curling iron and rubbed it over the front) and a fully wrinkled skirt. Tomorrow though, tomorrow there will be ironing. There will be humor. There will be an outfit post. Till then, goodnight.
EDIT: Someone made a very good point. Karma is two-fold. So what did I do to deserve little legs pounding on my airplane seat? I’m not exactly sure, but it probably has to do with kicking an airplane seat as well. And not when I was 3 years old.

Straightening irons work better than curling irons. And are actually quite handy for wayward ruffles and such.
I TOTALLY iron the same way! 🙂
Personally I own an iron the way suburbanites own handguns: only in the event of an emergency. 'Cuz I be lazy like that.
That reminds me of that episode of the Hills when Lauren irons her skirt with a flat iron while wearing it.
You deserve a night off… I hope you're enjoying it!
Your method of ironing sounds way more refined than what I do, which is just run it in the dryer for 10 minutes.
Hope your time off is relaxing!
I use my flat iron to iron clothing All The Time. Especially on hems and collars. One of the best "in a pinch" tricks I have.
hey kendi, i just wanted to let you know that
1) you're really pretty and you have so many pretty clothes to match and your husband's photography's wonderful

I use iron only occasionally, but it works really good. Great post. Thanks!
Usually my husband irons for me, but if he won't and I'm on the hook, I limit my choices to those things that can be ironed (while I'm wearing them) with a flat iron. And your blog is funny, even without an outfit post!
I don't iron. Ever.
I throw my clothes in the dryer with a damp washcloth and hope it steams the wrinkles out.
Hope you get some rest!
Rest up honey, you've been travelling a lot recently!! xoxo
I thought I was the only one who knew the curling iron over a shirt trick! ha ha It comes in handy when you are in a hurry! These days with an infant at home, I would be lucky if I had a clean shirt, let alone a half ironed one.
Glad you are home safe from your trip! Hope you had a good nights sleep.
ahahaha, no joke, when I travel i take my flat iron to iron stuff out. Leggings are my fav travel piece cause they have yet to wrinkle 🙂
Feel better soon, Kendi! And get some sleep!
no worries Kendi… your post yesterday was funny and pretty enough for two days. I love that blurb about what wtf means… my fiance and i were laughing our bottoms off 😛
Kendi I love reading your blog, thanks for keeping me laughing and entertained, you girl brighten my day!
Happy resting

Cute post. Yes, get some rest!
You know that Karma thing goes both ways, right? 😀 So fess up, what'd ya do to deserve those three back kicking kids? At chez hair-mess DH is doing the ironing, I'm no good at it at all (or so I made him believe). Already looking forward to tomorrows post.
I've done the straightening iron, but not the curling iron – I like the way you think!
Just a quick note to let you know that you were featured on the style lush blog today!

I think you just have such a funny, fun way of writing and and I look forward to your posts. (And of course the outfits)
Enough gushing. : ) I can't believe no one mentioned the old hang the clothes in the bathroom while you take a shower trick. I've actually tried the flat iron and the dryer but I keep going back to good old steam.
visiting your blog, just like I'm in a fashion show
