{Shop: Earrings, Shoes, Jeans– kind of}
lazy |ˈlāzē|adjective ( lazier , laziest )1 unwilling to work or use energy :2 unwilling to pick out clothes for the day, usually blames unusually slow motor skills in the early AM hours :3 slow moving and/or too tired to care because she stayed up way too late watching that dang Say Yes to The Dress show.

This is how I define a “but I don’t want to get out of bed” outfit. My husband’s ironed shirt, jeans and a bun. My only saving graces today were the red heels, lipstick and an animal print belt. You can fool anyone with an animal print belt — only people who mean business wear animal print. Everyone knows that.

um, if i looked this good on my off days i'd probably sleep in more often 🙂
Oooh I love a husband shirt. I think white shirt, jeans and cute heels is tres sexy! Love the lip color as well. 🙂
kendi, you still manage to look amazing and flawless even on your lazy day!! i love this cool casual look!
If this is lazy I need to be even more lazy all the time.
See that girl with the flat greasy hair, ill fitting pants, flip flops and chipped pedicure? Thats me. Thats my kind of lazy!
Ditto Tania. You look DAMN awesome, and ten times as damn awesome as I EVER look. 🙂
this outfit is amazing! its exactly what you call effortlessly chic in my opinion. the fact that this is your i dont wanna get outta bed outfit, really does make me wanna have more days like this. loving it!
You guys — good photography hides the greasy hair, ok? BUT THANK YOU. You are all precious and if I could kiss you all I would. Even if it made you feel uncomfortable, I would do it.
But this is my kind of outfit. I love it. I always love the laid back looks.
Good job.

What is it about men's shirts that look so good on women? Every women looks freaking gorgeous in a plain white men's shirt.
And I know those earrings! I love love them 🙂
Your lazy looks a lot better than my lazy!
Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best. You still manage to look amazing!

Nice red pumps I love red!!!
You look fabulous! You make those red heels work for everything – I might need a pair myself!
Lazy looks good on you!
Hey wuteva. Crisp white shirt, jeans, pop of colour? It may not be trailblazing but it's still classic and stylish as all get-out. And pretty much foolproof! (PS those earrings rule. Oh, Jess LC.)
I think you need to teach much of America how to dress on a lazy day :). This is my fave line of your post: "You can fool anyone with an animal print belt — only people who mean business wear animal print. Everyone
knows that." I'm going to wear my leopard J Crew animal print belt more often now!! 🙂
This is my favorite kind of outfit. I love jeans and white shirt. Seriously, can you ever go wrong with that? I don't think so.
Um. Looooove this.
If this is 'lazy,' you need a fourth definition: "dressing super cute despite lack of energy." And put a picture of you.
You look great, I'd like to look like this on my lazy days!
(which is kinda what you did in this post. But I'm proposing a dictionary insertion).
Kendi, even on your lazy days, you look like a star!
if I looked half as good as you on my lazy days I'd be thrilled!! also I wish that men's shirts fit me that well… my 5'2" self just gets swallowed!
beautiful as always!
PS. lusting after those earrings
I love this. Effortless and chic!
Sometimes simple equals sexy and stellar. Love this outfit, and the Jess LC earrings are awesome!!
PS – I love that you stayed up way too late watching Say Yes to the Dress – because of course, I have done the same thing. Solidarity in numbers, and all that, right? 🙂

Loving the Husband's shirt! Sexy and classy, who cares if this was a "lazy" day outfit.
You make sleeping in look good.

I don't have a husband…but I've definitely swiped shirts out of my dad's closet before!
Haha this is great! For being lazy, you put together a pretty adorable outfit 🙂 Love the shoes!

If this is what lazy looks like, I'd gladly look lazy everyday…I love this!
Very nice Kendi!
Just Better Together
love the simplicity of this outfit! you look so cute yet chic. also … great call on the red heels!
this doesn't feel lazy at all! I guess your trickery worked!
love it! I think classic outfits always work and are anything but lazy! Reserve that word for the people who refuse to get dressed when they got to target!
Even your "lazy" look is fantastic on you! I especially love those pumps, they always finish your outfits nicely.

HOW on earth do you style a man's shirt so perfectly?! I'm not one to wallow in jealousy, but seriously I need to pace for a while. If I tried to wear my husband's shirts I would look like I was in an Abba cover band. (Oh wait, he's uber European and loves his metallics…maybe it's not my styling that's the problem!)

Thanks for such a great post and the review, I am totally impressed!
Fabulous look on you….you pulled it off well:)
too hot for (more) words!!! ;-), Macs
Total classic Americana at it's best!
LOVE! I agree with the rest, you do look great for being lazy. You should see my lazy… not pretty.
I love this outfit. Don't you just love lazy days where you end up looking totally fabulous?
I guess the belt had me fooled because I love the outfit!
you look darling.
do you really IRON? wow. I say no to the iron.
oh, and what does "jeans-kind of" mean? the jeans you are wearing look fabulous on you btw.
Great outfit! Gotta love casual Fridays.
Very nice, classic outfit! If you want to take lazy to a whole new level, try getting your guy to start wearing Brooks Brothers non-iron shirts. Expensive but totally worth it, I haven't had to iron my husband's shirts in years.
I love this outfit. You look real and comfortable. And I LOVE LOVE red shoes. I wrote about it on our blog today!

Very classic and chic. Love it! If only I could convince my husband to let me wear one of his shirts… He still hasn't let me live down that mustard stain I got on his sweatshirt in college, lol.

You always look great but this is by far my favorite look! Love it!
Okay, I wish I looked this great on a roll out of bed day! I love the red and animal print. Simple, classy, and chic!

beautiful! I love a crisp clean white blouse!! Looks amazing not lazy! 🙂
When I first saw this I was like, "Ehhh…" I've never been into the jeans and a white top thing; it's a little too cowgirl for my taste.
Then I noticed the red pumps and leopard print belt.
Genius!
You just made me a convert. =]
i just found your blog today! it's great; i'm following!
aw, i have seen other girls wear their husbands shirts…you are so lucky that you can fit in your husbands shirt! my husband has broad shoulders and is pretty muscular and there is no way i fit in his shirts, i've tried…i swim in them! haha. lookin good for a lazy day!

I like the way you write . So much to the point.I have no words for your style.Divine and simple.Thanks for the inspiration.
You're right about the animal print belt! Great outfit by the way!
It's the animal print belt that does it for me. I'm off to raid my husband's closet now.
this is such a classy laid back look! The skinny animal belt and red pumps balance the masculinity of the boyfriend shirt nicely.
i can tell you mean business 🙂
this look is perfect, prettty and relaxed!
Oh please! You don't look lazy at all!! This look is so classic and sexy. I love your hair this way too (really stunning).
You have a gift for making a simple outfit look incredibly chic!! Love the red pumps!

If you look so great on your lazy look, how much more when you dress up fashionably.
You look so pretty!!
Kendi-
Do your red UA shoes fit true to size? I noticed the website does not have half sizes and that's what I need! 🙂 Also, where did you find that red belt that goes so well with the shoes?
Lauren
Hahah – So sad that your nothing to wear day looks better than my try really hard days!! You look unforced and gorgeous… the belt and red shoes really make the outfit!
Lauren —
My shoes do fit true to size. They are pretty comfortable too, I just wouldn't want to walk too far in them (around the office is great though!) Maybe some insole inserts (whatever those are called…) would work if you bought a size larger??
My red belt is from Gap in 2007 or 2008. I'll keep a look out for more of them!
I LOVE the idea of wearing you husbands clothes. I do that as well (altho he is soon to be husband 🙂

I love, love, love this outfit! It is so basic and yet very cute and trendy (and comfy!). I am going to try wearing one of my boyfriend's button downs!
