Well, for the 4th year in a row here on Kendi Everyday, I’ve failed to come up with a Halloween themed post or costume. I’m just trying to keep the tradition alive this year. Let’s just pretend this is my fashion blogger costume or that I’m a passive aggressive co-worker, wearing spikes on my blazer and my jeans on a Thursday. Scary costume, right?
I actually did buy a costume to pass out candy with our friends tonight. We are going as Jem and the Holograms. That’s right, I’ll be the adult woman dressed as a fond childhood memory television show that no trick or treater will understand which is why the costume was on sale for $20. Oh, and there will be photos happening, don’t you worry.

i'd say you're dressed as 'the lady with the perfect jeans'. costume enough for you?
Um…I used to love Jem! Not sure I should be admitting that on such a public forum.
u look great!
love the jacket & pumps! x

I freaking love you right now! Jem is like my dream Halloween costume! Every year I say I'm going to do it and every year time gets away from me, so I end up as a cat or some other generic costume. Can't wait for pics! I love the blazer too!
LOVE those stud accents on your blazer. Those are amazing.

Love this outfit! And my 4 year old daughter loves Jem and the Holograms thanks to Netflix!
You look great! I love your photos, so bright and clear.

I really like your jacket and handbag!
So ladylike – love the tweed jacket and I have that same tee! 🙂
Beautiful blazer and bag! Looking great 🙂

Can't be a fashion-blogger – you'd need a sock bun and a Starbucks cup for that!
Hey, the kids might not know who Jem and the HOlograms are, but I guarantee their adult chaperones will laugh!
Love the tee…

Love the look! Great heels!
I can't wait to see your costume! I considered going as Jem, but ultimately decided on a killer clown, since we throw a haunted house every year!

That blazer is badass. I'm glad you showed that closeup of the shoulders, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. Happy Halloween!

Can't wait to see the photos! I love this out. So simple and chic! I wish, wish, wish I could wear that blazer to work! x

your hair looks amazing! i too was a jem and the holograms fan….can't wait to see your costume :).
cannot believe those jeans are from Old Navy, I scrolled down to see what 'Nordstrom-esque' brand they were, and boom $29.00. looks great!
Kendi, you're my height and we look about the same size. I love those jeans and want to order them online, but am unsure of the sizing. What size did you get?
I'm 5'9 and I sized up on these to an 8 🙂 Old Navy is all over the place for me on sizes but these seemed a bit snug so I just sized up and they fit great!
That blazer is to die for! Always love your outfits. Happy Halloween! 🙂

Jem is my favorite! Glamor and glitter, fashion and fame! Truly outrageous, you will be, I'm sure.

Jem was one of my favorite childhood TV shows. Love it!!
Thanks for the quick response! I'm 5'9 as well, so I'm going to try for the 8 in those expensive looking inexpensive jeans 🙂
That blazer is perfect on you!
OMG. The detailing on the shoulders is so amazing. I didn't even notice that at first, but I love it.
Also, those jeans are really nice! Old Navy has been stepping up their game this fall….

Hope you have a lovely Halloween

JEM! I adored Jem when I was little, all my old Jem videos are at our house in France and yes, sometimes my sister and I dig them out and settle down to reminisce. I had the dolls too, Pizazz was my favourite although they didn't make it to 2013 sadly. I am hoping to re-watch all my Jem videos with Elodie when she is older – assuming the video player doesn't break. I suppose there is always You Tube but it's not the same is it 🙂
You have such a beautiful blog! Love the blazer, especally the spikes! 🙂

LOVE the ankle zippers and the spikes on that tweed jacket!! Such a great look!

The spikes add an unexpected but tough twist to the blazer, and I love it. It's like sugar and spice.You're the best at making jeans and a tshirt look so classy!

Hi, I totally adore your style ( and totally relate as a size 10 footed 5ft9in woman also) and love your store. Do you ever ship outside the US, I live in Australia and would love to purchase from your store
I definitely almost decided to be a fashion blogger for halloween.
I didn't dress up at all this Halloween. It's like Halloween didn't exist this year 🙁 Oh well! Love that blazer!

I love the blazer, especially the spikes, and I LOVE the heels! That color is awesome. Bold, but what a great neutral. I have become a huge fan of Ivanka Trump shoes!
