Kendi Everyday: weekend uniform

Oh hello semi-spring weather, what are you doing here? Feel free to stay until late May, if you'd like. You can never outstay your welcome in my book. Plus we are ready to kick winter off our couch, he's been hanging around for much too long.
This weekend my in-laws came in, my husband had a photoshoot scheduled, and our best friends were in town for a birthday party. Needless to say, it was a busy weekend. Busy weekends call for one thing -- a weekend uniform. And by uniform I mean something I don't take off for 72 hours. This usually involves 1 piece of clothing that gets tossed around into many different outfits and usually includes my favorite american apparel shirt in some form or another. I switched between this yellow cardigan, my blazer and sweat pants all weekend long. Today we had time to sneak off and take pictures before we went to a birthday brunch for a friend of ours. (This was uniform #3, by the way.)
Other highlights of the weekend were buying new sunglasses (I feel very Jackie O) and stepping in an old lady's vomit. Details are much too grim to share.
I'm off to enjoy the rest of this pretty, pretty day. Happy weekend to you.

I love the 3 primary colours in this outfit, and the grey ties it together perfectly! Wish I had a yellow cardigan so I could put together an outfit just like that :)

Woohoo for rocking the TOMS shoes! I've got a pair myself. I love that they're comfortable and support a great cause.

WOW, you did have an exciting weekend. Was the old lady recovering from a margarita spree? Love the colors of the weekend outfit together- especially the beret and sweater.

You make a plain outfit awesome because of your use of colour. Love, love, love the mustard yellow!

I was so excited because today (in New York) I felt a breeze that gave me a hint of Spring. SO exciting!

P.S. I love your Tom's :) oh, and your blog too.
