I have been waiting to wear this outfit all weekend long. I woke up one night with this outfit in my dream but I didn’t pack all of these items, so I had to wait until I got home. (So maybe I dream about outfits and ex-boyfriends. Judge me.) My outfit turned out exactly how I wanted it to. I’d like to take this moment and give my subconscious a shout-out for never sleeping on the job. But on the other hand, I’m married so we can go ahead and clean out the ol’ ex-files.
I feel very Lucky Magazine today with my mix of autumn colors. (hire me!) It crossed my mind for about twenty seconds to photoshop myself onto a Lucky Magazine cover and send it to them. But then I realized that’s creepy. So I didn’t do it.
Yet.
I have to be honest — we were without internet for 4 days and it was really hard. This partially scares me and makes me sad. And partially makes me want to buy a personal satellite internet hat so that I will never be without internet again. I’m kidding, they don’t even make those kind of things…. wait, do they make those? Not that I would buy one. But I would if it was on sale and cute. I’m kidding. (I’m not kidding.)

Okay I was looking at a near identical blouse on J.Crew's website not ten seconds ago and now after seeing your outfit today, I think I might need to go back and get it! You look great and LOL to photoshopping yourself onto Lucky! I've considered doing that (for other things), but luckily my computer abilities wouldn't ever be able to accomplish it!
I love this shirt!! Let us know if you find a similar one!
I love all the autumn colors! I can definitely picture it on the cover of a magazine:)
Yes, this is definitely Lucky Magazine. So cute!
Love the outfit and love Lucky Magazine. U should totally send a picture in! That would be great.

Sooo pretty! I love this outfit 😀

Lucky would be lucky to have you. Yeah, I like puns…judge me.
Wish I had pretty outfit dreams instead of zombie apocalypse nightmares…
I love this top. It is my favorite thing that you chose for your 30 for 30 challenge! I get excited to see how differently you style it every time you wear it!
LOL you are looking very Lucky Magazine today and while creepy, I think with their new direction they just might get a kick out of you photoshopping yourself into their mag. – Katy
You should totally photoshop yourself onto Lucky Magazine even if it is just for fun!
Just Better Together
That's funny, I've had dreams about the remix too. It's kind of weird to dream of clothes, but I guess it's what I'm thinking of lately.
What's dreamy are these photos!! I love how your outfit's bold fall colors stand out amongst the sunny mist 🙂 You and your mantographer are such a perfect team!
Love the polka duts blouse 😀
i need a pair of shoes like that!
So gorgeous, I love these pics! I am really loving the maroon tights! I just bought a pair of maroon tights myself from free people. You look gorgeous =)
I just straight up love this outfit. Saw this blouse on sale at J. Crew and wanted to go for it but didn't- I might after the shopping ban is lifted though!
Oh mylanta!!!! Finally an outfit I can recreate with all of my clothes! I love love love it! 🙂 So demure, yet so very "why yes, I am a sassy librarian." at the same time! 🙂

I lurve Lucky magazine as well and I think they definitely need to hire you. You dress in their style and are a funny writer to boot. Try applying one day!
You're making me realize that my wardrobe needs a skirt in that color 🙂

Wow, I love everything about this outfit!
You totally belong in Lucky magazine! I'd definitely buy a copy with your face on the cover. 🙂 And I'm with you on being without internet… liberating and debilitating all at once!
You are absolutely adorable in this outfit, and the woods-y background is so perfect! Love it!!!!!
I love it! Yay for your subconscious – and your hair, which is absolutely perfect today! xoxo
You do look very "Lucky Magazine" in this outfit. I've been to their office once (on non-glamorous business, unfortunately) and I think you'd fit right in wearing this ensemble. Their current issue has a full-page ad stating their looking for Alpha Shoppers. You should submit your style portfolio, if you haven't already.

gorgeous and funny!
what more could you want?
My motto is you can NEVER have too many bows or polka dots! So naturally I'm I love with your top. And might I add that I just stumbled upon your blog and I'm already hooked?! You're adorable and inspirational, and your blog just made my day. Thank you.
love the shot where the sun is peeking through the trees, so romantic!

My favorite one yet! From the remix, that is. Well done subconscious of Kendi! Well done.
Very pretty! Love your whole outfit. Looks great, also, love your shoes 🙂
what an incredible outfit. very lovely shots of it too!
Gorgeous as usual – I really love the colour mix in this one!
i love all the beautiful colors in this outfit and you definitely belong in a Lucky magazine!!

A dreamy outfit indeed!
Could you send some of those creative inspirational dreams you're having my way? It would be a nice break from all of the work related dreams I'm having.
Love these colors! It's a great fall palette!
http://twosixandcounting.blogspot.com
I really love all of these colors together! I have been searching for a pair of maroon tights in a few stores, but to no avail. I guess I'll be purchasing a pair online as soon as the 30 for 30 is up 🙂
Not only do I love your outfit but I was just looking at/thinking about buying those booties!

This is such a perfect and pretty fall outfit! And a beautiful setting too!
I wish my dreams were that productive. My workplace is rolling out a HUGE program this week and I will be presenting for the first time tonight. I had a dream the other night that I totally forgot the information and when I looked at my flip-charts for guidance, they were in Spanish! I mean, I only took 3 semesters of it for the credits, NOT to actually be able to use it. It was awful.
adorable outfit, great shoes, nice environment

Haha I know what you mean about the internet – I start to become irritable if I've been away from the web for a few days – how sad is that?!
Love, Hannie

I love that the landscape seems to be part of your outfit. 🙂
Great colours, love it (the outfit.. and I guess the lanscape too 😉 )
I think I'd prefer a personal satelite internet ribbon. Or maybe a brooch? yes.. a brooch.
I love the last picture! Great place to take pictures!

this color palette is so dreamy! love love love the tights!
You look adorable, but you are also a very witty writer (which is why I'd keep reading your blog even if you decided to wear only zuma pants from now on).
beautiful look! isn;t it great when you wake up with a dream outfit in mind?! i love when that happens!
meanwhile, isn't there like a usb internet you can buy at a cell phone place like at&t or t-mobile that connects you wherever you may be?
maybe im dreaming of such a thing, too! 🙂
i wander, i wonder
This outfit is beautiful. I love how you put all the colours together.
you could write without posting pictures and i would still read. job well done.
Send it to lucky – I think theyd like it 🙂 Being without internet scares me, too.
Actually, with my android phone (htc's nexus 1) and a data plan, I can have my own portable wifi hotspot. Especially for those times like airports, cafe's and relatives homes when internet is not free/available…
my favorite look!!!! 😉 Love the different shades of the season..
Your subconscious is a damn good stylist.
Super Cute Outfit.

Love this outfit so much! You should totally work for Lucky. They need some real girls who live outside of New York without huge budgets guiding them. I am almost ready to cancel my subscription because it's so hard to find doable inspiration. I much prefer your blog!
How on earth do you look so coordinated at this late stage in the challenge? I'm torn between being impressed and depressed by this. Fortunately impressed wins. Great look.
Very Lucky Magazine here, in the very best way! The Autumn colour scheme is perfect. They SHOULD hire you…how have no magazines tried to recruit you yet?!!
I love this outfit. I'm not going to lie, everyday I look forward to your post. It makes me wish I could wear what I want to work. Have a great week.

Your photos are always so gorgeous. I am glad I am not alone because outfit ideas always come to me in dreams! I thought I was going crazy but I am glad to be informed that I am not. Thank you. Your outfit is amazing! Love it.
Your posts always inspire me and make me laugh – thanks! LOVE today's outfit!
Love this outfit! The wine color with the caramel and blue is fabulous!
Great outfit! Love it so much!
Have just discovered your blog recently, it's fab!
I love the colours (Yes I am Canadian!) in this outfit, so unexpected, yet so awesome.
But I am actually commenting to tell you that you are the first option that comes up after Kendi on google! I thought that it was exciting. Except maybe that the one after you is a theatre in Lancaster.
Ahaa.
🙂
Really like the outfit
Must get polka dot top
Hi.. I have been reading your blog for quite a while.. Love everything specially the tights.. and the dream story was beautiful.As of me I simply can't remember what I dream !!
I LOVE this blouse. Navy is amazing. Polka dots are amazing. Ruffles are amazing. and somehow they all work together to make this incredibly versatile blouse – I love all the ways you wear it!
Great color combo! I love that you're not afraid of colored tights. My coworkers always take a step back when I wear colored tights… and I'm like, "Why is this so unexpected?!" 🙂
Ooh, I love the polka dot blouse. It looks so great and festive.
Why not send them your picture / I was inspired by your outfit in the post 'thankful' and I put together an outfit on a very limited budget.
ere is my pic lol

Kendi,
Your blog is fabulous! The 30 for 30 deal is a great way to rework your wardrobe (which i try to do everyday). Your blog is very inspiring. -Logan Smyser

i'd buy one of those too if they sold them. also, you're too awesome for lucky. they'd be lucky (pun intended) to have you 🙂
Your outfit is way cute!
Sometimes I dream up designs… I have made some of my thought up creations.
Beautiful! I love the maroon tights with the navy blouse. 🙂
I would really appreciate it if my subconscious could start dreaming up outfits equally adorable. Get going on that, self.
LOVE this. Mentally bookmarking it for inspiration.
i love this one! the color combination is fabulous! i totally dream about outfits before i drift off to sleep too! if that makes you weird then well i suppose i'm in good company 😉 glad to see your holiday was a good time and that you're back to the land of internet connection 😉 happy tuesday to ya!
Another quick and witty post by the one and only Kendi. I just laugh when I read these, like, I can't help it. Again, a job well done… AND cute outfit (totally Lucky Magazine).

Hey Kendi,
I was just wondering if you live in Narnia? I realize that you have a photographer husband, but it seems you never run out of gorgeous, dreamy places to take photos.
So I just thought, maybe Narnia…
you definitely look straight out of Lucky mag…send it in, send it in! (that's a chant) so many colors and they are living in total harmony. LOVE it.
xx
I'm glad I'm not the only one who dreams about clothing! Polka dots, bright tights, and a full skirt? Sign me up- this is something I'd love to recreate in my closet, although I don't know how well my 30×30 picks would allow for it- guess I'll have to keep it in mind for after the challenge is over!
I've been following your blog for a while now and took a week long hiatus probably right around when you lauched the 30 for 30 challenge. Since checking back I've been so inspired by what you and the fellow bloggers have been posting, my best friend and I decided that for the month of December we're going to remix our own wardrobes. Thanks for the fantastic idea!

That last photo especially really does belong in a magazine. Totally feeling the Lucky vibe! ,I adore this outfit; the most delightful, eclectic mix of colors.
I just have to say that I adore this outfit! I wish my dreams included things as cute as this! The colors are great together!

I love the colors you chose. I think you should totally send a picture to Lucky Magazine! You look great 🙂

Nilcha — My husband takes them for me! He's pretty fantastic, isn't he?
(Tripods and me don't get along. I CAN do it but I suck at it.)
I REALLY love this. The mix of color is spot-on (no pun intended). 🙂
