I found this shirt at J.Crew the other day when my Christmas money was burning a hole in my pocket. (It lasted 5 days. That might be a new record.) I think this tee was made for me. Perfection is a burden that I try not to carry. What is that saying? Perfection is boring. That is a very true statement, although currently I’m rocking some very well-hidden adult acne and I’d really like if my skin could strive to be boring. That would be great.
The next tee J.Crew needs to make is “yes, these heels do hurt” and “but coffee first” I will be able to wear all of my motto’s in t-shirt form. Also remember when I said that bold earrings are in this year in my last post? Is this actually true or did I just want you to think I was cool? You may never know.

Can we get started on that coffee tee? And holy cats, I love those pants!
Love the shirt
Eeek! I love these pants too! I've worn them three times since buying them last week. I think that's a good sign 🙂
i would totally buy the "but coffee first" shirt! http://semiweeklyeats.blogspot.com/2014/01/so-much-to-say.html
The earrings pop the outfit and ties it together very nicely! I'm guilty of the same perfection burden so my motto is 'no such thing as perfect'! You're other two mottos are mine too! I hope JCrew's reading this and going to print ASAP!!

You have the best graphic tees! I literally want one of all of them, but then I just look like I'm stalking you! And I love the idea of a "yes, the heels do hurt" tee! Must-Have!

What a great look and in love with your new hair style. Great pants so bright and perfect for Spring 2014. Those earrings are just to die for. Gorge!
very pretty! i love those bright pants!
Loving these earrings. They work fantastic with your new hair!
Ha! It worked. I think you are cool and I feel better about myself for my love of statement earrings. My aunt and I have been rocking them for years. The bigger, the better – she calls them "ear trash."
That's a fun tee and the way you've styled it is even better! I'm so happy bold earrings are going to have a big come back, cause I'm a fan of those! J Crew should be definitely making those tees soon, they'd be a hit!
Cee. ♥

L.O.V.E. your hair!!! Outfit is fabulous as usual!
Your hair is breath taking!! I love it! This is beautiful! The shirt and earrings are my fave 🙂
I want a series of t-shirts with things I constantly say in my classroom, but I'm pretty sure my students would be sick of that. Love the earrings! My lobes would have rebelled against me the second I put those on. They're wimps when it comes to big earrings. My t-shirt right now says, "Jealous of your earrings."

This is so fun! What a great outfit!
I love the earrings! Such a cute color! And I love this tee such a good motto. I agree J. Crew does need to come out with a shirt that says, "these heels do hurt" because well most of the time they do!
Have a wonderful day,

I'm going to be honest… I was really sad to see you get your hair cut. Until this post! Oh my goodness, I love it. Might have to go and copy it asap. Love this whole look. I guess you really can do know wrong, Kendi 😉
I meant "no" wrong. Ha!
Wow! Love the hair, love the pants, love the shirt!!! So fun…

I absolutely love your hair; the length looks great on you, which I'm sure any length would. And, because you said so, I'm going to start rocking the bold earring trend! I really like the sound of it.

This has to be one of my favourite outfits from you Kendi! You look amazing! I just bought a tee from J.Crew that says "blah blah blah blah" I love it! If they had tees in those mottos you suggested I'd get them in a second! xx
