Happy November, friends! This year is flying by and I can’t tell if it’s my age or if it’s the fact that I’m personally committed to creating capsules every 4 weeks. Maybe both? Anyways, it’s November and this is my favorite time of year for capsules. Back when I did 30 for 30 remixes, the fall ones were always my favorite and maybe my best. The layers, the boots, the colors. I just love this time of year for fashion. It feels both nostalgic and new. With that being said, I took some liberty with ‘autumn’ colors this fall. I got super inspired by this bright top from J.Crew and ended up planning my color palette from the bright yellow and this bright blue as well. (It feels nostalgic AND new, right??) While I love typical autumn hues- browns, burgundy, plum, deep yellows, etc. I love playing with colors that feel misplaced in the season. I personally think this Citrine will perfectly fit for fall and this holiday. I will prove my case below. 😉
It’s been an interesting process putting together these capsules. It started out as a way to give my styling prowess a flex and just keep things interesting as well. It’s always been fun for me to see what clothes can do when you stretch them to their potential and the capsules are the best way to do that. I’ve found that as I create them each month I am reaching for the same basics every time: denim jacket, jeans, blazers, a graphic tee. There are always a few wild cards but I like seeing the consistencies in my closet and how I truly have favorites. (Blazers, it’s blazers.) I also like that I can try different looks to see what sticks with me and with you. Nothing feels written in stone with these capsules, which gives me a lot of room to experiment.
(Side note: if you would like a more traditional autumn color way, check out last year’s November capsule here!)
So this month I added in my Spanx leggings because if there is one thing I reach for consistently in the fall and winter, it’s these. And as you can see here I really used them well. The Target Boots were of course a must as well as an over the knee — well almost to the knee – boot, which is always, always, always in style.
I also have to shout out these jeans from Zara — when I say they are some of my favorite I’ve bought in a while hear me. They were just $45 — an absolute steal in this economy. I would buy them in every shade, to be honest. You can size down one as well. I am in the 29 and they stretch with wear.You can find them here in Indigo.
The wild cards? Super wide leg trousers, super high platforms, faux leather skirt, bright yellow lace sheer top, giant puff sleeve dress. I mean come on, it wouldn’t be a Kendi Capsule if there weren’t some weird things in there. So with that, let’s get to the pieces!

A Few Favorites
____________________________
J.Crew Faux Leather Skirt
This one is a wild card for sure but I just love this skirt. It’s from J.Crew and I love that it takes a regular black skirt vibe and gives it some edge. I think the outfit with the denim jacket and tee is my favorite. Find it here. PS: I almost put a faux leather shirt jacket in this capsule too but I thought — wow 3 faux leather things? Kendi, calm down.
Target Blazer Coat
Stop the damn presses: this blazer coat thing is amazing. It’s from — TARGET. It legit looks like Anine Bing. I bought the large and honestly not my best decision but I wanted to get it here before the capsule and the medium was a slower ship date. #priorities. Therefore it IS true to size, no need to size up. I just did because I’m impatient AND a procrastinator. (It’s fully lined and fits more like a coat. I’d say it’s somewhere between a coat and a jacket.)
J.Crew Lace Top
As I said, I just love this top. It was a choice between black and this citrine color and I took a chance on the bold. Let me tell you, that chance paid off. Imagine this at holiday parties, you’d be the talk of the town (in a good way.) Also it does come with a matching camisole underneath, I just wanted to give it a bit of risqué with my black bra showing underneath. Find this top here.
Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
What is a capsule without a good pair of leggings? Not a capsule, in my opinion. I love this pair and will always reach for it. The skinny leg is NOT dead, my friends. I’ll say that forever. It’s a classic look and this pair is slowly creeping it’s way up the classic’s chart. I size up in Spanx leggings for comfort, but overall I’d say true to size. I’m in the large. Find them here.

I love this capsule! So many fantastic pieces. The platform heels really stand out to me. Might need to grab the target coat/blazer. Just received the Target booties but haven’t opened the box yet….but I have high hopes.
Will you share the info about the necklace you are wearing with the target babydoll dress? 🙂
So, Kendi. Great outfits. However, these are not everyday, run to tatget, teach a class, go to church, hanG out with friends outfits. They are rather exTreme, trendy, expensive. Dont know where you would wear most of these. At least that would PROBABLY be true foR many oF us normal, non-influencer people!
I’d totally wearing the leggings and t / Jean JACKet to run errands or hang with friends. The looks with sneakers seem pretty casual to me too. While I may not SPENd $100 on a graphic t, I get the idea and bet I could find something similar for less to give me the blue denim/blue t look.
This may be my faborite capsule so far! Love it!
