I found these shorts the other day tucked away in some of my warmer things as I was pulling some things for fall outfits. (Which, for the record, was a presumptuous move. I could go swimming today and not get chilled.) Every once in a while, I’ll forget about a piece that I own and then I rediscover it in my closet again and wear it more than before or sometimes I buy something a season too early and then find that I wear it all the time in the present season. These things don’t surprise me. What does surprise me is I can’t for the life of me remember when or how I bought these shorts. And I remember everything when it comes to clothes. Some people call it obsessive; I call it a natural ability. The only thing I know about these shorts is that they are from Gap last fall and they are in my size. But to be honest at this point I’m not even sure if they are mine.
Is anyone missing a cute pair of shorts? Have you come in contact with me in the last 12 months? Did you leave your bag unattended at an airport or at a recent sleepover with me? You have 24 hours to claim or they are mine.

Those shoes! Why haven't I seen them on Sole Society?!?!
I love finding shit in my closet I totally forgot about. It does make me super sad when it still has a tag on it…..

Love it! That's such a great blazer. I really have to start going to Gap more often. I always mean to, but get distracted by other stores in the vicinity, like J. Crew and Loft.
And your shoes are divine. Like all your shoes. You should show us your closet one of these days. I bet it's all kinds of pretty.
Isn't it awful that all I can think of when I think "black and yellow" in my head is that awful Wiz Khalifa song?

Those are great shorts. I love it When you find something you forgot you had…. or maybe in this case, something you forgot you stole!

I would seriously consider stealing that blazer right off you! I love the darker cuffs and how well it fits you – maybe I just need another blazer? anyway, love the mix of colors and hope that you get to keep the shorts!!! 😀

I am so in love with this blazer that I can't really focus on any of the other fantastic parts of this outfit. I've been looking for a herringbone style like this forever and yours is perfect!
Your silver wedges are GORG!

Finding a mystery pair of cute shorts is better than finding surprise money in your pocket doing laundry!
And you look adorable, great outfit!

Lovely blazer it brings together the whole outfit.
Gorgeous outfit! I love these pretty shorts.

Wonderful and Marvelous
Would it be weird if I told you I was looking through some of your posts from last fall just the other day (for outfit inspiration) and you were wearing these shorts, so when I saw them in today's post I thought to myself, "Hey, Kendi just wore these the other day!" And then I read the story about the shorts and how you don't remember getting them. And then I realized that I feel kind of like a stalker… So, anyways, I loved the shorts when you wore them last fall and still love the shorts for this fall. 🙂
I love the pop of color on that!! This is a sexy outfit, lady!

Love this outfit. I couldn't pull off the shorts – your legs are much nicer than mine – so they're definitely not my shorts! 🙂
gorgeous!
I really love this outfit! I mean I usually love your outfits but this blazer is amazing! And the shoes! And the purse! I want to love blazers but I always feel like I'm wearing a straitjacket…
I like how the blazer makes it work-like but the shorts still make it heat-friendly (I almost wrote summer-friendly but it is officially fall!)

Amazing shoes!
Love blazers with shorts! Shoes are pretty,too!

Beautiful! You look like a New Yorker in this outfit. So chic!

Hi,
Your makeup always looks so flawless and natural… can you tell me your favorite products?
Those shorts are adorable! Don't you dare give them back 🙂 Rediscovering forgotten pieces in my closet might be one of my favorite things ever.

I too have a knack for remembering where I got something, when I got it, how much it cost, and every time I've worn it (without looking at my blog archives). I can't say I've ever found something that I don't remember purchasing. You should definitely be suspicious. I hope they aren't exploding shorts…do you hear a ticking sound? On the plus side, if you're going to explode today and you're going to be remembered by your last outfit, this is a cute one.

seriously scary thing – those look exactly EXACTLY like my black shorts i have from H&M, but of course those aren't mine you're wearing cuz mine are safely tucked away in my bottom dresser drawer. hahaaha
i love wearing my shorts with tights in the fall and winter! do you??
Those shorts are very cute. Love them! Also your shoes are amazing!

I love those shorts! Its such a great piece to have bc you can wear them all year round (tights if its chilly, but not sure how cold it gets in TX..). I hope no one claims them!

I truly love rediscovering new clothes. Once I left a laundry basket full of goodies over at my parents house during a move and reacquainted myself with the basket after a year… It was heaven! Also, the blazer is fab!
Cute outfit!

Hahaha! I'm the same – I tend to remember where I bought all my clothes. And circa how much they cost. Then I'll suddenly experience a black hole like you just did, and I wonder what was up with me on that particular day. High fever? Too much wine at lunch? Or just a bout of selective amnesia?!?
Hi! I really like this outfit but the shoes…! I love them! I didnt find them on sole society, what's the brand please? I know its an old post but ..you never know..
