{Blazer: Similar | Tank: Gap | Jeans: Similar | Heels: Urban Outfitters | Necklace: Vanessa Mooney}
I honestly don’t know when I wore this outfit. It was a week or two ago on a Friday or Saturday… maybe. Who knows? Although I’m fairly certain that I did wear it. I have photographic evidence.
Yes, this is another blazer to add to my collection. If you learn one thing from this blog, it’s to go find a nice, fitted blazer. Easiest investment ever. In fact I’m wearing one right now. Will you see this outfit? Who knows, it could be days, weeks, years….
***(PS — I bought this one at Anthropologie but if you are into thrifting, and I think you are, I always see a ton of red blazers around. Do you see what I’m doing here? I’m trying to get you to buy more blazers to make me feel better about my obsession.)

If you’re going to be obsessed with anything, a blazer is probably a good pick. Loving this one. Especially with the pink shirt.
Rebecca (hearts)…
Kendi, everybody – well at least of the style bloggers I follow – are writing about your presentation at the style council a few days ago. Is there any way or any plan to post your presentation on the blog? Anywhere online? You spoke about having a bigger message than just “look at me and cute clothes” which I completely agree with. And I’d love the to read/hear how you articulated it. 🙂

Girl I am so with you! I have too many blazers and most I got at consignment/thrift stores. Best.shopping.ever. Who knew that old ladies had such style 30 years ago?
Great outfit! I have similar blazer in my new post over at my blog,

Beautiful! I think I need some blazers too!
LOVING the colours in this outfit! And nothing wrong with another blazer…at least you wear what is in your collection!
PS Just checked out the link to the blazer…which I love…but did you notice the last photo? Bum cheeks peeking out below the shorts AND the blazer? Yikes.
No! Bum cheeks hopefully not included with that blazer….
Love the red blazer and how it pops against your jeans! And know that you aren’t alone in your blazer obsession…I just bought two this weekend 🙂

I love the color of this blazer, very cute@TinaciousMe:disqus And you are so right about thrifted blazers. I just bought a beautiful navy blue one from the 50’s that fits so perfectly! Bonus, I spent $1 and some change on it!

super cute outfit!!
Love the color combo there. Red, Pink and Gray. You really can spice up the outfit
What a cute blazer! And I love that it matches your lipstick! I need to add some blazers to my wardrobe.

Kendi.
I’m in love with the bright colors. And the blazer. Especially the blazer. I need to go forth and find some of my own–the ones I used to own no longer fit and the one I have that has safety pins on it isn’t good for all occasions…
Did I mention I love this?
Beautiful blazer!
I just got my first blazer last month! A cute little black number with 3/4 sleeves that roll up with a striped inner fabric. My roommate got sick of it, and I reaped the reward. You look cute as always!

Oh I love blazers as well and have a few of them, One can simply not have enough blazers! 🙂 You look lovely as always! xo, Christina

You know I think I have seen a lot of red blazers too! But none as perfectly fitted as that… most of mine were filled with 80s shoulder pads.

Cute and fun! I love it!

I also have a blazer obsession that I post about regularly. They just make every outfit better, I want to get an oversized one.
Haha I bought a nice fitted purple blazer not too long ago… Happy? 😉

I need a red blazer so bad, I haven’t had much luck finding one. I love the mix of color combo you have here!!
don’t blame you about blazers… always makes an outfit look more put together!

Lesson learned: totally want a blazer. And somehow it’s okay that you’re using me to make yourself feel better : ) Want those gray pants too!

I’m wearing a blazer right now. I probably wear one every day. It’s the new obsession which makes it not an obsession! Now I kind of want a pink or red one :P. Lovely.

This is such a vibrant outfit. I need to get a blazer. I might have to start thrifting.
I’m crazy about that necklace, it’s simple but so pretty. (And I too am blazer obbessed, they’re about half of what’s in my closet!)
BOLD colors! Loving it!!! xoxo A-
Adore the blazer, and I LOVE, LOVE how you put colours together – totally inspiring!
I love all the red accents! lovely look.

I also have a weakness for blazers. T-shirt and jeans not dressy enough for the office? Add a blazer! Want to wear that sundress yet it’s not quite sunny? Add a blazer!
Blazers can do no wrong.

What I like most about your blog is that you’re so real! No “this handbag is only trillions of $ but I need to have it”. Oh, and there are some really nice outfits too 😉

Yes, indeed, the color combination is great! As always, I’d never have dared to combine these colors, but it looks absolutely great on you!
I’m also a big fan of blazer, but well, unfortunately my blazer collection seems to be not as big and not as colorful as yours!
I think blazer are a wonderful addition to nearly everything, also if I had to wear a coat over it today because it was not warm enough 😉

i love the bright colors combo!!

You certainly are the master of colour, Kendi. And if only I could find I nice fitted blazer whilst thrifting … still on the lookout!

love to see you wear such bright colors! gorgeous blazer btw !
http://jolicassoulet.wordpress.com/
I’m coveting blazers in every shade myself lately – I love the red/pinkish one you have on! I second the idea of thrifting for them though – I found a fantastic cobalt blazer (sleeves were too short, but nothing I can’t remedy with a nonchalant rolled up sleeve) for $6 – one of my best finds ever for sure!
Love the blazer and I have to admit that this is the second time I thought for a moment that you were wearing a gold wallet chain. Wishful 90’s thug thinking…
ahhh absolutely obsessed with all of the colors in this outfit, they go perfectly together.
i love the blazer-nice colors and that necklace is perfect!
Amaaazing! Love the colour combination***
http://girls-stuff-11.blogspot.pt/
it’s good to have little innocent obsessions. mine are scarves and i believe if i put them all together, they could easily circle the worlds once or twice. i do love the bold red color and the shape of the blazer!
Nothing beats a red blazer!

Beautiful color combinations! I love how much use you get out of those heels.

I love blazers, but sometimes find them constricting. They don’t move as much through the shoulders as I’d like, and I’m not a broad shouldered girl or anything. I did recently pick up an awesome striped blazer at Banana Republic that almost feels like it could be a sweatshirt, though it doesn’t look anything like it. It’s so comfortable and it moves with me.
Because of your blog I feel like my style has finally been transitioning into something more mature and tasteful. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from outfits to go out and actually buy trousers and buy blazers and work them into not only work wear but to pair them casually for school or other.
So thank you and I always love to see your posts! Always great photos with something fun to read!

I have got to get more blazers. I only have two and none in color, although my cream with black detail blazer is kind of awesome! I also really want to try the whole wearing lots of pieces in the same color family thing. I haven’t stepped there, yet! This looks awesome. 🙂
I love your shoes. Are they true to size?
I’ve been wanting to get those shoes from UO but I can’t decide what size to get. I’m between a 7.5-8. Would you say yours were true to size or no?
Thanks!
Dani
LOVING the bright colours!

I am in love with your signature red heels. I love the heels themselves, but even more so I think I love that you have a pair of heels that have lived on your blog for so many years. SO here is my question. Are they the same red heels every time or have you had to invest in a few pairs from ruining the suede? Also, do you have any advice for keeping suede looking nice?
Blazer obsessions are totally justified. What else can you wear to both a party and a job interview? Hopefully not at the same time… Love this outfit to bits and bits! So much bring happy goodness.
You and Robin on How I Met Your Mother (that statement makes me realize how weird I actually am) have officially inspired to cut my hair tomorrow. Shoulder length, baby. I couldn’t be more excited. Or terrified.
I love my blazer! It makes me feel so classy.(: And I really like the whole pink/red combo. I’ve tried to pull it off myself but feel like I can never get it quite right. Haha

I have obsessive blazer disorder as well. It’s truly a problem and my closet thinks so too. I love your outfit! Fabulous!

My friend wore a red blazer a few weeks ago! They look so chic! I really want one, but it is getting pretty warm where I live and my money is better spent on shorts.
I love those heals! I saw some amazing colors over at Madewell and am just so tempted!!! Fiance might kill me though… hehe
Love this fun colorful mix of warm colors!

lol Don’t worry I’m on the blazer train too. I think I’ll wear one tomorrow as a matter of fact! You look amazing as always. I do need more red in my closet, though. And I love that necklace and I’m not a big jewelry fan. I feel it weighs me down, but that looks as if it’s lightweight but adds style to your outfit.
You can never have enough blazers! The red blazer is so pretty with the pink top.
http://www.lipstickandruffles.com/
yup! i am totally obsessed w/ blazers!!
I’m having a tryst with multple blazers, too. You look smashing. Can you please divulge your lipstick colour?
Whoops! I meant multiple. Late night snacking & typing don’t mix, folks. (:
So cute! Your color combos are so fresh, but not like WHOA CRAZY CUPCAKE. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Kendi, where do you buy your bras? Mine always show at the top of my boob, which is….. Not the look I'm going for.
I love blazers!! The red is fabulous. So fun and yet so professional. I love your style.

Do you remember if you bought the tank in Mulberry or Frosted Berry? Both look a bit similar in color. Thanks Kendi!
Sorry for so many questions…. do you happen to know the name of the Anthropologie blazer? Once I know I’ll try Ebay. Thanks again! Really trying to copy this outfit!
I love the blazer, but I’m really loving those pants!
You smile brightest when you wear those coral Urban Outfitter shoes. I suspect the shoes have magical Dorothy powers!
There is a great red blazer on clearance at Express right now.
Love the color combo!! Cute look!

I scored 2 red blazers at salvation army thrift!!! One bright red one or 3.99 and a darker red from Ann Taylor for 2.25!!!!!!!! Oh and a light pink one too!!! In heaven!!!!
I have you to thank for getting me into blazers! My collection is growing now. I do love that color on you. Yay for bright colors!
I. Love. Blazers. I always have and I always will.

i think my favorite part of this whole outfit (aside from the fabulous blazer, duh) is the little pop of turquoise against the pink shirt. such a cute little detail!
I loved. This t-shirt is beuatiful. Visit my blog. http://www.blogdasuzyy.blogspot.com

i love buying blazers too. i hope this helps you feel better with your obsession 🙂
Here’s the thing, Ms. Everyday. I have a minor (read: out of control major) blazer obsession myself. If you encourage me to buy more in effort to make yourself feel better, I may do just that. But then, somewhere in the back of my head I’ll remember that strategy, and when I’m feeling bad about my unreasonable consumption, I may guilt trip others, who will then in turn buy more blazers, and then guilt trip MORE people. Do you see the butterfly effect here? Before long, the world will suffer from total blazer insanity.
QUICK, let’s buy stock in Blazers-R-Us!
PS: Love this outfit. You’re a master (err, mistress?) at the red and pink mixing.
I love your outfit! 🙂
How do you curl your hair? I have short hair with lots of layers, and can never get the curls right. Your hair looks adorable!
Same goes with the sock bun. How do you get it to work with short layered hair? 🙂
I have a thing for bright blazers.

I have the same obsession! It’s almost the only thing I’ve bought so far all spring. Blazers!
