Hello from Chicago, friends! The mister and I are visiting our friend Jess LC for the long weekend. And now we are in love with the city. As you can see, I’m posing in front of a row of Brownstones that we just purchased and then will resale for multi-million dollars. It’s the first step in our world domination. Next up? We are going to H&M.
Do you know about Jess? Don’t we look like we could be cousins? I think so too. Little does she know that we are soon to be best friends. Creepy? Maybe. But now we are family, so it’s cool.

You look fabulous!! I love the blazer!!
Have a great weekend with Jess! She is one of my favorite bloggers and still the only blogger friend I have met IP. Enjoy Chicago, my most favoritist place in the world (or the midwest… either or).
OMG! Why are you in Chicago when I'm in NYC?!! I absolutely love Jess – she's such a sweetheart! I hope you enjoy Chicago, girl!
I can't wait to go back to Chi-town (does it make me cool to say that?) Such a fun city. Thanks goodness I have family living there and a constant free place to stay. Trust me… they LOVE it when I just show up for a week.

This I would classify as the perfect fall outfit! – Katy
PS where is your bracelet from? I love it.
You are just precious in your blazer and boots! Love this look. You look like you could easily be a Chicagoan. 🙂
Make sure you hit the Renegade Craft Fair on Division. It's today and tomorrow and you will love it!
Welcome to the Windy City! You look like a native. If I didn't already know you weren't from here, I'd be fooled.
I covet those boots, by the way.
So chic!
You are a classic beauty in this ensemble!
Not that you aren't a beauty in EVERY ensemble you wear, but….oh, nevermind…you just look hot!
Cute look, I adore your blazer!
Chic on the Cheap

OMG I can't believe you're in Chicago! How exciting. You should come into my store-A'gaci, on State and Monroe. It's kind of like Forever 21. You might find something cute there!

My favorite look by far! Love the blazer and boots! Can I look like you when I grow up? 🙂
Hope Chicago showed you a good time!
Ahhh! My hometown! (and current city) It's a great place and yesterday was such a wonderful fallish day. Hope you enjoy it!
Also, you look totally adorable.
I love your look here – I feel like you got all the fall staples in one shot. Jess is super cute and super talented- my friend visiting me for the weekend is actually sporting one of her necklaces! Hope you girls had a fun weekend!
xoxo, Ashley
Kendi, this is exactly how I want to dress every single day this fall.
Okay, I love how everyone's already posted about the blazer. I'm going to be super original and do the same thing! But I've been looking for this exact same blazer and have already been disappointed. This one looks just perfect! So does Jess's, as a matter of fact. You two are just too cute!
That blazer is super amazing! I saw it at Gap and coveted it immensely. Maybe I'll take the plunge now that I see how good it looks on you.
Glad you're having so much fun in Chicago! My boyfriend just got a job offer there for after graduation, so now I'm obsessing over the idea of it being my new home.
love the outfit! especially the boots – i'm big into boots, what can i say?!
glad you're enjoying chicago! i love to hear that people love it as much as the locals do 🙂 love your outfit, too! it's a perfect autumn city combo.
when i saw your outfit i felt like singing. it is awesome. i have been lamenting the loss of summer…until now. thankyou.
Ah so chic! I love your little colorful bag in that last picture. You guys do look like cousins! Haha. You look really good in a blazer. Love that green cuff too.
I love your outfit especially the blazer.
I just found your blog and I love it! So fun! Was wondering if you had looked at the TUCKER line at Target? I would love to see what you would do with it! 🙂

Please don't find this creepy but I saved photos of you in my laptop. Well, just for viewing sake. I like the outfits you pull together! Your fashion style is corporate-friendly at the same time fashionable 🙂
Thank you! Thank you so much 🙂
Much love from the Philippines (*.*,)
Awesome outfit, as usual! It looks like you're about to go horseback riding. Love the boots!
I love this, it looks so pulled together! That herringbone blazer is awesome!

This would be my ideal fall warerobe [minus blouse, insert tee shirt] if I could swing it. Love these boots and dark skinnies!
Hi Kendi, I just wanted to let you know, I was so inspired by this outfit, I went and got an almost-exactly-the-same jacket which I'm wearing right now to beat the Monday blues. Thank you!!!
Hi there,
how does this jacket fit? I'm usually a XS in vanity sizing – so a size 0 or 2?
thanks!
I just love your blog and your style is wonderful-womanish and fashionable 🙂 Have a great week [:

Hi there–just discovered your blog and I have to say I REALLY love your sense of style. Everything you wear seems effortlessly chic and not too deliberately fussed over. You look natural, and not like you're trying too hard to keep up with all the latest trends. Lovely!
love this outfit and jess is beautiful! Congrats on the new buy and potential new income…that's outstanding!
Love the outfit! Those boots are amazing. Hope you had a great time!
I *LOVE* those jeans. I know they're GAP, but may I ask which variety they are? TIA!
Hi Dawn — they are the Gap skinny jeans that have stretch in them. I love them as well! I highly recommend a pair.
I love this look! I kind of gave up on the Gap a few years ago, but the jacket is fantastic. I'll have to go back!

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Kendi! I really appreciate it. I just found your blog last week and I'm already addicted – and happy to be!
Thanks again!
-Dawn 🙂
The blazer is awesome! So glad you guest posted for whatiwore, otherwise I never would have found your blog.
From one Texas girl to another- i love your sarcasm, and your shoes.

Love the fall inspired outfit! Especially your blazer! Wish we had weather for boots but we still have sandal weather here in Southern California…
