Sunday Best

12.5.10a
12.5.10b
12.5.10d
12.5.10c


We put our Sunday Best on today for two reasons 1) it's Sunday and 2) we like to look our best on Sunday. It's just that simple. Normally we just lounge around the house in cocktail dresses and tuxedos (Kendi in the dress and Bryan in tux, of course) but today we had other plans.

 An impromptu photo shoot (see below).

Tripod + automatic timer = love. Was this for our christmas cards or just so that we can print out more photos of ourselves and line our house with them like wallpaper? I'll never tell.

7 more outfits to go. Have I saved the best for last? Probably not, but I can't go naked so we'll see what I can come up with. Oh and did you notice? I have all of my 30 for 30 outfits so far collected on this page, in case you were wondering what the world would look like with 23 Kendi's in it. Now. you. know.

That last one would be an excellent Christmas card photo. I really like how all of your photos turned out today, actually. They're crisper than usual.

Your outfit was also lovely, as per usual. :)

I love how you wore that shirt under your dress - the little peek at the sleeves is adorable! Also adorable... you and your husband. Oh my goodness. That's going to be some very attractive wallpaper.

PetiteLittleGirl said...

You guys are such a cute couple. The last picture makes a great Christmas card. I love the mustard yellow cardigan :)

Kat said...

between these shoes and the pumps from urban outfitters... i want to steal your shoes! clothes too, but i figured that was already super obvious.

i find you amazing! <3

Sarah said...

The polka dotted blouse under the dress is just pure genius! It takes the outfit from I-like-to-look-cute to I'm-a-master-at-life/fashion. It's so simple but the colors go together beautifully! I need to put together something inspired by this outfit.

Samantha said...

Let this go down as the strangest comment I have ever left anyone, but your visible ear in the first two pictures gives you a cute factor of 1829347893409310.32. Personally I think you should go with both Christmas cards and wallpaper. For posterity.

arliddian said...

I absolutely love this outfit! You are a layering genius. And I have GOT to find myself a yellow cardigan! Also, your photos with your husband are absolutely adorable. :)

Between Laundry Days said...

So, this outfit is gorgeous. Like really fantastic. But even better are the amazing pictures of you and Bryan. So beautiful, happy, and full of love.

erin m. said...

You guys are too stinkin' cute. And that is one of my favorite outfits! Love the shoes.

Melissa said...

You look perfect! I love the pictures of you and your hubby! I'm also jealous because my boyfriend is camera shy so I have to beg him to be in pictures and then when he is it's usually the same awkwardly cute smile every time haha. Oh boys.

Such a lovely post Kendi.

This. Is. My. Favorite outfit ever. If only I had a little gray dress....uh-oh I have three of them...but no yellow sweater. Le sigh, we'll see if I can make green work. :)

cait, hazy like mornings. said...

Jess said...

You two are very sweet! I like this outfit a lot. The polka dotted sleeves sticking out from under the cardigan is really cute.

Meredith said...

i was about to show my hubs these pics and PROVE that taking couple pictures is not only fun but necessary. but then i decided, let's not make him jealous, what with the ruggedness of your mans facial hair and all. for real, my hubs is hot but the boy can't grow a beard to save his life! the things we shift around on our "ideal man" list when we actually meet the right one, you know? ;) hahaha!
YOURS, MINE AND OURS

Liz said...

Could you guys be any cuter? Love this!!! You're gorgeous.

Do any cars ever drive by while you're in that garage and does it make you feel like a weirdo?

Cara-Mia said...

Love your outfit. You guys are such a cute couple, the photos are fantastic.

cardososisters said...

LOVE this. Day 18 and day 16 are def some of my favorites. Your outfits are utterly inspiring!

Katie said...

The first pic of the 2 of you is so cute!

Sherry said...

So cute are the pics! I love the last one of the two of you. Should be framed or used as a holiday card. xoxo

You and your husband look so cute! I love the outfit - especially those shoes!

Lovers, Saints &amp; Sailors said...

OK, you immediately won me over with the mustard cardigan. I am a sucker for both of those things. But then, then, I saw the polka dot shirt layered underneath and I thought "Well damn, it just doesn't get much better."

Also, I'm hosting a give away. Check it out.

Anonymous said...

Ugh...you make me want to be all "pre kids and good looking and totally in love" again.

Pam S said...

I love your shoes, I saw a pair recently and made plans to purchase them once the remix is over, they look so adorable.

Kelly said...

love the outfit! the last photo of you two is very nice : )

Anne said...

Super cute photos. And I love the inventive layering you've got going on here... I've been doing it out of necessity to get some new outfits out of my 30 items but also to stay warm :)

karin said...

one of my favorite outfits! i love to see what you come up with daily!

Stella said...

Aw, the pictures sort of made me squeak. But a good squeak! Like, "aw, so adorable!" squeak, not "oh my word, I saw a mouse!" squeak. Anyway, love the outfit, and you guys look so cute.

Oh, and your mentioning if it's for cards or lining up the house with pics was too funny, but it reminded me that my boyfriend and I haven't done our Christmas pic. With the dog. Dressed as Santa. Canine humiliation, here we come!

Victoria / Justice Pirate said...

awwww I love the photos of you two so very much!!! gorgeous. Especially love the first one of you two.

kelsey said...

you look so great, and i love the Christmas card photos! my husband and i did that exact same thing on day 7 of the challenge, and my husband wore almost an exact sweater as bryan! good taste :)

Jessica said...

Such adorable photos! Any of the 3 would make wonderful Christmas cards!

Taylor Sterling said...

so so so adorable! I love the photos of you both together! Have a happy holiday girl! U look beautiful!

Nicava Designs said...

I really love how you are layering - it's giving me some good ideas now that it's getting so cold - and most of my clothes are not great for cold weather! Thank you! You guys look so adorable! :)

Kendi Lea said...

Anonymous -- only a few times do people drive by, it's pretty much abandoned on the top levels where we shoot. And yes, I feel like a complete weirdo, always.

Shannon said...

If J.Crew's hiring models, Jenna's totally gonna be scouting out you two =]

Autumn Lynn said...

Gorgeous couple!

Lauren said...

You guys are the cutest - I hope you use some of those photos for either your christmas cards or to line your apartment with more photos of yourselves :)

Super cute outfit - as always

Lauren said...

I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of oxfords--and I think you're wearing them! Can you link to the shoes or tell me exactly which pair they are? I browsed their website but can't figure out if they're there...

Rachel B said...

You pick THE BEST stuff from J.Crew - Love the way you style it all together!

xo

Katy @ Wiggle Wagon said...

I love yellow with nuetrals, and especially with polka-dots! You two are so cute, and combined you're deadly!

rachel june* said...

ditto to the mere 73 comments. wondering if you or the husband have ever thought of answering photographer questions or formspring? maybe you already do and i'm just that intelligent! basically just love the crisp and color and post-processing.

Lily said...

The last picture of you and your husband is just adorable! And haha to lining your entire apartment with pictures of the both of you--I've done the same thing myself. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. :)

Lena said...

You guys look super cute! I really like the mix of colors you have going on, and I love how the yellow pops :)

Andie said...

you guys are so incredibly adorable - you can see the love radiate! Too sweet.

Love your outfit, too. You are inspiring me to combine mustard with navy and grey. What a great combo!

Pearl said...

Your outfit is so adorable!!!

I have that Loft dress in black and I love it!!! You and your hubbie look very cute.

PaperBalloonJournal said...

I love the combination of gray dress with the yellow cardigan. Ingenious way to mix a neutral with a pop of color!

I agree with the rest of tbe brood...all of these shots can be made into some kind of holiday card :)

Kate said...

Okay, normally I am not a girl who loves romantic couple-y photographs, but these are so, so cute. You look so in love! Totally adorable. (And you look gorgeous, as always! Love the yellow on you!)

Jamie said...

you kinda of make me want to puke in my mouth. jk.
that's only just because you and your hubby are adorable.

xo

Katie W said...

GORGEOUS! Love this outfit!

And I think you and Bryan would make fabulous wallpaper... I mean, I would buy it! Wait, is that weird?

Heather said...

You guys look adorable! You should totally wallpaper your house with them. I really like the blouse peeking out of the dress and the cardigan. Enjoy the rest of the 30x30- I'm hoping to finish up soon as well!

Andi said...

Looking at your 23 outfits so far I have realized that you have quite an extensive collection of tights. You own pairs in virtually every color or texture, and its amazing how much they can totally make your outfit. Through your inspiration Ive gone out and bought two more pairs of awesome tights, a black lace pair, and a scarlette pair in hopes to amp up my warmth and wardrobe without spending a fortune. Your a beautiful inspiration even when you dont try.

JT said...

Very nice outfit and photos today. You and your husband are picture perfect! =)

Jennifer said...

You guys look like the perfect couple in the last picture. Too adorable for words..although i would try..

brittni said...

you and hubs are adorable. Love this outfit!

Alexa said...

You guys are too cute for words! I love the results of your impromptu shoot. :)

Molly said...

I really, really love the way you have the polka dot peeking through at the collar and cuffs. Beautifully styled. You are definitely a pro.

Just finished today and I am so thankful to you for this amazing idea (30 for 30, I mean). It's been such an eye opening experience! It's totally changed the how I want to dress and how I want to shop.
Thank you.

Leaving The House in THIS?!?

Janni said...

I have a very similar cardi, but mine is from Target. I also pair it with gray. I love how it looks! I love your whole outfit. That dress is so cute!

Pixie in Pumps said...
