It’s one of those days. You know what I mean. It’s not a bad day; it’s just one of those days. Nothing is bad is happening, I didn’t wake up to any tragedies that happened overnight, and I can’t really complain. It’s just that everything I have planned today is going to either be delayed or just isn’t going to happen. I woke up at 7, didn’t leave the house till 8:30. This never happens; I’m lightening fast at getting ready. But it’s like today woke up and was like you know what? I’m not doing it. Which would be fine if it were Sunday, that’s fair. But no it’s Tuesday. So can we get it together, today?

My hair and my makeup are just not having it either. Who knows what is happening north of my neck today. Makeup is not sticking around and my hair is revolting. I’m firing my hair and makeup team. Amateurs. 

This is literally the best I could do today. This is it, people, this is 28. Which is fine, I mean I’m pretty much going to be hiding behind my computer today anyways. That’s why finally this morning I said screw it I’m dressing like a female version of Johnny Cash today. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. I have no idea what that saying and Johnny Cash have in common but we are going with it.

  3. Funny you said that. Before I read your post I thought…hmmm…I love what she put together today! 🙂 Not that I usually don’t but today….you’re casual and relatable. Have a great day!

  4. I too am having one of those days. Somehow I didn’t leave the house until 8:51am and I work at 9. And my hair? Well, let’s not even talk about what it looks like right now. Hope your day is looking up!

  5. Your posts always make me laugh – and there’s nothing wrong with sticking with the basics when it’s “one of those days”…you still look adorable! 🙂

  9. Sadly, there to many of “those days”. But you look super cute as a female version of Johnny Cash. I usually look like a sad, sad version of Axel Rose.

  11. You should do a ‘how to’ shirt tucking post, you’re a pro at it! I just end up looking like a schmuck. And don’t worry, I had one of those days yesterday, hopefully it’s just a 24-hour thing 😉

    1. ha, why thank you! from the front the tuck works, from the side i look about 6 months pregnant. but i still rock it. 😉

  14. HAHAHAHA! Those last couple of lines cracked me up. Outfit still looks fab and the day is beautiful. #Nailedit (Yeah I know, hashtags don’t work here but still, nailed it).

  16. It’s one of “those days” for me too. My day started super similar to yours, and again I look the best I could do today. Needless to say, your outfit is super chic and if I passed you on the street, I would never guess you were having one of “those days.”

  31. I have been convinced all day that it is Sunday…. but it’s actually Tuesday. Maybe it’s good that school (aka routine) starts up again next week – lol!

  32. yesterday was one of those days for me…. but it was post-breakup one of those days. Picking out a pretty outfit on those days is tough work!

  33. For me those days usually end with happy hour. Im loving that shirt + pant combo!

  35. I had a bad day. The car wouldn’t start, so I had to walk to the dentist and back in the rain. At least it’s just a few blocks away. I had a root canal. I found two dead baby birds outside. I tripped and fell on the steps outside our front door. I’m going to bed now. Hopefully I’ll have better luck tomorrow.

  40. Ah yes. I live in Okinawa and we’re on almost 70 days without measurable rain and I’m honestly tired of sunshine. Of all things to be bummed about…sunshine! There are just days like that. Then they’re over!

  41. Yep. I had one of those days on Sunday. And Sunday is one of my favorite days so it made me more upset. Here’s hoping tomorrow is better! You still look cute though 🙂

  42. I actually really like this simple outfit! Giant sunnies and pulling your hair back are great tricks for “those days”, no-one will ever be able to tell! 🙂

  43. UGH – I had a day like that yesterday. I actually wrote about my day in my most recent post.

    Nothing like a tire flying at you on the road to start off the week…

  44. Oh a "bleh" day, you still look incredible! Here's to hoping it gets better!

  45. TOTALLY one of those days over here in CA too. I actually used the phrase “You better get your shit together because the patience train is near the end of the line”. BTW this was to my 2 year old. Oy.

  48. First, the Texas Tuxedo never looked so good, even on Mr. Cash himself, and he’d not be able to rock those fabulous wedges. Second, off days are the new black and you are an amazing beauty.

  58. This is my “off day” outfit too! Chambrey, black jeans, favorite shoes & bag. Done. Some days you just don’t need complicated.

  60. You know what, it’s a good thing you exposed this side of you. I know what that’s like, to feel that it’s one of those days… most days. That feeling of not knowing why or exactly what it is that’s bringing you down, and you know other people, most people, don’t feel this way. I’m just so used to it by now, it’s so deep in me that I just don’t think I’ll naturally be a happy person. I love that sense of humour of yours, Kendi, it’s good to know I’m not alone.

  62. I just love your sense of humour 😀 And definitely your sense of style even on off days 🙂

  63. And still you look way better than me. I’m in sweatpants and a t-shirt, for the third day in a row! Not leaving the house this way though

  65. I’m having one of those days right now. I was about to stress about what to wear (my iron just murdered the shirt I was going to wear) but instead I am going to wear almost exactly what you wore, and everything is going to be fine.

  73. You still look adorbs! But I know what you mean… I feel the same way. The outfit I had all planned in my head actually looks kinda… weird. Not bad, not good, just weird. I looked in the mirror and thought, “Yikes. I look weird.” At least we all have those days 🙂

  74. Kendi, you are gorgeous, funny and one of my style icons for sure. You look amazing even on your off days.

  78. oh man, i totally get it. but my off days look a lot worse. ha ha! but i think you did the right thing. just give in and go with it. the more you fight it, the worse the day is. this is also the day i decide it’s perfectly ok to have a candy bar for lunch. 😉
