Lately I’ve been so drawn to flowy pieces. (Should be noted at this point I’m not pregnant, I just really like when absolutely nothing is touching my body.) I was looking around bloom at our fall merchandise the other day and thought “yep, I’m either turning into a grandmother or Rachel Zoe.” I’m kind of okay with either at this point.
A couple of people, including my mother, have asked about my hair lately. Is it ombre? Is it supposed to be that way? What’s happening here? Well I guess it kind of is ombre now because of the sun and left over hair color. Basically since my hair grows faster than I can afford to keep up with hair color, we just dyed the top part back to my original color. So unintentional ombre, I guess. I was never brave enough to take the actual plunge so this was a nice surprise. And now I can’t believe that the best thing I had to write today was whole paragraph about my hair. *hangs head in shame*

I’ve heard the term “ombre” on Project Runway for years… and only recently learned what the heck it meant. So when I was scrolling through the photos, I said “I think I’ve spotted Ombre in real life!” So, thanks for mentioning it … I’m so happy with my new vocabulary addition.
You are rarely seen in Jeans. But you look really good in them!
I love the flowing look in summer. When it’s 105 in Dallas, who wants anything touching your body? And since people tend to frown upon running around naked everyday, flowing is the way to go!
And I think your hair is pretty! It looks natural, like you’re one of the those lucky people who can say, “Oh this? It’s just my natural color!”

I love that tunic! Totally agree about the flowy pieces… the older I’m getting the more I realize comfort is key!

it looks ombre and I think you should just embrace it, which you clearly have done… especially on the grandmother/rachel zoe front. I love the boho look, I’m terrible at it as I may pair something “boho” with a pair of pearl studs or something.
Loving the colors!

Beautiful.
I think the surprise ombre is perfect Kendi! I would definitely pay to have my colored this way 😉

Haha you are to funny! I really like the causual boho look on you. You could pull off any style!

I think the unintentional ombre look is really pretty! it’s very subtle, but the colors still work well together. and I really like the colorblocking on that purse – so cute.
I like the ombre look! The same thing kind of happened to me – I’m glad its in style now, made my hair-life much easier! The boho look is lovely on you 🙂

Well, either way, your hair looks awesome! How long do you go between hair washes, if you don’t mind my asking?
of course i don’t mind! this was day one, i’m currently on day two (so tomorrow’s photos). if i can go 4 days, that’s what i prefer. usually day 1-2 are worn down and then 3-4 are up! Suave dry shampoo is my jam.
I love that one, too. At first the peach-y smell bothered me but it’s grown on me. Thanks for responding! I always wonder what other people do with their hair when they don’t wash it everyday.
Love the flowy snake print tunic!

If it wasn’t for all my stray, gray hairs I’d do this myself as well. Let it grow and just keep the roots my natural color. I love the look and since your hair is darker it blends so well!
Love those wedges!

I love the pattern on that top! Everyone needs a flowy outfit from time to time.

I’m loving those shoes, but they must make you about 7 feet tall! Go you for rocking the platform heels as a tall girl. Love it!
yeah, I am taller than my husband in these puppies. but i secretly like it 😉
Great top and wedges!
http://lartoffashion.blogspot.com
The light in these photos is just beautiful! Nothing feels better than a tent top. 🙂 One part cozy, one part hippie chic (because snakeskin makes anything chic) I hear ya!
Kendi, you look lovely! Don’t you love Mother jeans?
LOVE them. They fit like a glove and are so comfortable!
You look beautiful, I love your top and shoes. And I’m totally loving your OMBRE hair! 🙂

Love that top and also adoring those wedges, Amazing!
I’m loving your hair AND your makeup! It always looks so fresh. Any tips on applying your eyeliner? It looks amazing in that last photo. Would love to know what brand/color you use.
You look fabulous in those jeans! I am also a big fan of flowy pieces recently. Thanks for sharing!

Haha awesome… love the boho look… who cares what’s going on with your hair? Pretty soon someone else will be asking how you got your hair to do that and you’ll be a trendsetter…

LOL! If you don’t want anything touching your body, you’re likely to stay unpregnant. 🙂 BTW you look gorgeous. Your inner glow is very becoming.
hahaha that’s a good point and that’s the plan, my friend.
I would pay good money to have my hair look like that!
Question: who makes your necklace? (You look beautiful as always by the way…)
Also, don’t feel bad about ‘just’ talking about your hair. I told a friend recently that I’m not a well-rounded individual, and I’m totally okay with it. I can talk about my faith, my kids, and clothes. That’s about it!

welcome to the artsy almost-grandma/ombre-something hair club, we’re happy to have you! xoxo ps- you look great!
oh my gosh, i feel so honored! one day i shall wear a crop top and maxi skirt and then you can really feel proud 🙂
give yourself a hug for me!
LOVE the shoes!
I like your hair like that, accident/laziness or not 😉

I love those shoes! To die for.
I switched over to ombre-ish hair (I’m already blonde and it’s just slightly blonder at the ends) but it has saved me a ton of hassle with getting my hair done.
Turning into Rachel Zoe is definitely fine, that means you have an amazing style! Love that top, the print is fabulous and love the loose fit. Adore the camel accents, that bag is amaze!

This is one of my favorite looks so far on you! LOVE the top, I might have to stop in and get it! And once you mentioned RZ I was like, yep, that’s why I love it! Flowy clothes are kind of the best.
Ha! “yep, I’m either turning into a grandmother or Rachel Zoe.” — I also think that with the Texas heat you just CAN’T wear a tight/clingy shirt. Silky and breezy is the only way to go and still look chic instead of sweaty.
Great hearing you speak on Sunday!
I noticed your hair as well. lol I’m loving it…and it’s looking long!!
I’m obsessed with this outfit!! LOVE!!

Guuuurrrrrllll this outfit is fab but you are wearing some TALL SHOES. I bought the Seychelles wedges you wore once (that look a little like stacked loafers?) and they might be too tall for me to wear on the regular. :/ How do you do it?!
honestly I had to really focus on walking all day and not turning an ankle. sad truths. I figure one day I’ll get to the point where I don’t want to wear anything but flats so I’m trying to get all of my heel wearing in now 🙂
That’s good to hear! I swear I gave myself a shin split walking around quickly in those puppies and I was thinking, What Would Kendi Do? (The answer: suck it up, the shoes look good! Haha.)

Love your hair! I have been wanting to do an ombre look for a while now, but I’m not brave enough to take the plunge. I stopped dying my hair 10 years ago and I am scared to death to start again. Hair color maintenance is so much time and money!
