Fourth Grade

I’ve had these jeans for a while but I believe this is their first appearance on the blog. Everyone I’d like you to welcome my banana legs. They are pleased to meet you as well. 

 

I didn’t realize that when I started my blog about three years ago that I would a) eventually run out of things to talk about and b) want to talk about the same thing again and it would get awkward. As I was looking at my pictures today I thought “wow I really like to dress like a third grader.” I sat down to write my post and remembered that aw, yes I’ve written that post before. In an eerily similar outfit, too. So I’m at a crossroads — do I take the lazy road and just link the post here and say “ditto” or do I take the high road come up with a whole new take on wearing bright, unmatched colors all of the time? 

 

I say ditto.

  3. I’m actually a pretty big fan of the polka dots plus the banana legs. But what I really need to know is: how long did that hat actually stay on your head?

    If you say longer than 5 minutes, I’m going to doubt your veracity as a blogger.

    Oh, and sitting down to blog something and realizing that you’re repeating yourself…yeah, totally done that, and I haven’t been blogging nearly as long as you have nor do I have an exclusively style-related blog.

    Sad, sad, sad…

    1. Abby — I can honestly say it stayed on until about 11:30 today when it become about 70 degrees here. Do I get to keep my blogger card?

    1. Katie — yes I am! It’s from Anthropologie. I linked it above but it looks like it is sold out online. However, I got it in store just a few weeks ago and they had plenty! You might want to check there. I’ll try to find a similar one to post online. 🙂

  23. Oooooh, so a fan of the yellow and brown. Pinning that bad boy, or girl…

    If you’d like to, or any other readers out there wanting to help as sister out, I’m having a poll on my blog today. Pick the 30th item! Sound familiar ::cough cough, Winter 2011 remix::

    I’m the ultimate creeper.

  25. I have no problem repeating a look because that is the result of me establishing my style. My problem is that I have two conflicting personas. One is a third grader and the other is a super sophisticated lady. My closet is bipolar because of this.

  27. Maybe you could just build on the theme by doing a side-by-side of “today” Kendi and actual elementary school Kendi. I’m very curious to know if you actually dressed this well when you were little. I know I sure didn’t.

  28. Love the colors with this one! And cute stocking cap! Only in Texas do y’all wear stocking caps for fashion. Where I come from – that sucker would be pulled down much lower on your head to actually keep your ears warm! 😉

  31. Nothing wrong with the grade school look! I wish I had dressed this well as a 4th grader. I still have nightmares of the short bowl cut hair I had. Besides I’m wearing my owl sweater from Old Navy today.

  39. So, normally your look is pretty cute but this is just not a great outfit – you *do* look like you’re trying to be a high schooler, not a good look, even for high schoolers.

  40. those yellow pants are a great shade of yellow!  i have a pair, but the yellow is just not quite right.  you know what i mean.  like instead of banana legs, they look like… husks of pale sweet corn?  without the bumps.  or the husk part.  dammit.  what am i talking about.
