I got new shoes. Ok, ok and a new top. And my blazer is new, too. So I spent some Christmas money, ok? Don’t act like you didn’t too and instead put it all in savings. You are not that responsible. Plus I can justify my new top and blazer. Sure I have a striped shirt but I don’t have a sequined striped shirt. And what kind of person would I be to pass up a mint blazer? A terrible person, that’s what kind. 

You’ve heard of Sole Society, yes? If not, let me fill you in. Sole Society is a new brand of the cutest shoes that start at $49.95. From suede heels to leather boots, there are new styles every day and the best part? Shipping is free both ways, so returns are a no brainer. Oh and you can shop by search or by expert curated collections. And because you’re reading this right now, you can use “KE20” for $20 off your first purchase from now until 1/31/12!

  1. Love the outfit! I recently signed up for Sole Society but wish there were reviews as to how the shoes fit as I have slightly wider feet and never know whether or order a 6 1/2 or 7…just wondering what you thought of the shoes above? did you order your reg size?  Anyone else w/ size review/feedback?? THANKS! 

    1. These are a size 10 and I’m usually a 10 in all shoes except for flats. (I usually size down half a size for flats. Not sure if that’s science or preference) My feet are pretty average since I’m not wide or narrow, but these shoes fit perfectly. So perhaps size up? Just for a little bit of extra room 🙂

  2. Why, thank you very much. On to not do work until I pick out a new pair of shoes. You are a horrible influence ;).

  3. Did you get these pants in regulars or longs, Kendi? I am looking for some straight black pants and am 5’8″ so figured we might need a similar length…

  4. Love. Those. Shoes. And of course, they’re sold out in my size! Hoping for a re-stock!

  5. Ha, I love this post. It’s the season of giving, even unto yourself. And you’re right, passing up a mint blazer is a serious offense! 🙂 

  6. I love this outfit. And I think it was a completely responsible choice. So don’t listen to what they say (whomever “they” are). I have seen that sequined shirt everywhere and I NEED it! So adorable!

  7. Ugh I’ve been trying to NOT buy that shirt from jcrew but now seeing it on you I don’t think I can resist any longer!

  8. Love the mint – seeing it everywhere recently. Curious on the fit of the striped tee – is it more of a loose fitting top?

  9. LOve your outfit.I totally saw the striped top on sale at J Crew yesterday. Looks amazing on you. I have to say I might be the only one to pass up a mint blazer, I’m sorry. It looks so good on you, but I”m not sure about me. Adore your outfit.

  10. I do feel this will be the year of sequins.  Maybe it was you who said that….if not, it was somebody.  And it was true.  Sequins will belong to the everyday woman….not to the Oscars parties or the “big” nights out…but to the 9-5, the book shop stop, the brunch, etc.  Sequins for all!!

  11. Yeah, I can’t even pretend that I put all of my Christmas money into my savings like I should have! I went out and bought a bunch of pretty little things!

  12. I LOVE this top with the mint blazer! You look great, as always 🙂

  13. Kendi, this post is hilarious.  Cute outfit and you’re writing is too funny.  

  14. Beautiful blazer! I am in love with that color right now. Pretty!

  15. That sequinned top sparkles almost as much as you : )

  16. Kendi, are these pants the slim cropped or the ultra skinny stretch pants from Gap? 

  17. Ugh, I WISH I could go spend my Christmas money on an outfit like that! But I’m on a year long spending fast. I was inspired by your friend Greater Than Rubies and I’m not shopping for clothes during 2013! Wish me luck. I’ll keep coming here for outfit inspo.

  18. I’m slowly morphing into you. I just dyed my hair “cherry chocolate” after seeing how amazing it looked on you and I’m about to buy those exact shoes. I’m slightly obsessed with your style 🙂

  19. I have those same shoes from Sole Society and am beyond obsessed with them..classic nude heels with a little extra punch from the wedge. Plus, I got them for half price, which just sweetens the deal! 

  20. I have been searching for affordable shoes just like that for MONTHS. I signed up for Sole Society just to buy them and can’t find them anywhere on the website. Do you have a style number or name? 

    1. I found them and they are sold out in my size. Sigh. Sadness. To anyone who is looking, they show up in leopard print but are called “Kelly.”

  21. I seriously JUST tried on that shirt at J. Crew earlier today! I really liked it, but didn’t love it, and I thought I probably wouldn’t wear it that much. I do love it on you though! This way I get to enjoy someone else wearing it well without spending the money myself! (oh, but I did get some shoes…so I still spent money…woops)

  50. Why do I hear my voice speaking throughout your entire post? haha, I may have shopaholic tendencies and totally do those rationalizations. I’m currently dying over this adorable hot pink bow coat from JCrew trying to come up with reasons why I really need it…:)
    Those are the perfect nude wedges! Are they comfortable? (Truthfully!)

  64. ok, um.. you always look great, but I am in absolute LOVE with this outfit. the pants are so slimming! i want every piece. unfortunately, i too, already spent all of my christmas money (responsibility is overrated). looks like I’ll just have to suffer as a terrible person who doesn’t own a mint blazer 🙁
