I typically don’t say much about my outfits, but this one might be one of my favorite outfits ever. I just feel like a lady in this get-up. I might even start using the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ I might stop pushing children down on the streets and stealing from old people. That is how good I feel in this outfit.
I’m kidding, I don’t push children or steal. At least today I don’t.

(Why yes that is a Shania Twain reference in the title. You wanted that song stuck in your head all day, right? You are welcome.)

  1. whee! i have this skirt and love it as well. it feels so great on–silky and swingy. i love how you’ve styled it. i definitely could use more ideas for this one.

  2. LOL, at least it’s a song I like.

    You look lovely (I think you deserve a very ladylike adjective). I love the combination of dots and that pretty floral. I admired that skirt on Anthro’s site, but never bought it. And that bag, so cute!

  3. Didn’t even make the connection about the song and title until you mentioned it … thanks a lot, Kendi!!! (An alternative title could have been “Damn! I feel like a woman!”

  4. Love that skirt! You’re right… That song will be stuck in my head the rest of the day. Thanks! 🙂 I heart Hall & Oates, too.

  5. I was just about to tell you how rude it was of you to get that Shania Twain song stuck in my head. Time to go listen to Puerto Rican reggaeton or some Nirvana to get that outta the ol’ noggin. 

    In other news, you look awesome. The colors of your skirt rock and I am seriously impressed with all of the patterns you’ve mixed into this look.

  6. Such a lovely skirt!  Great pattern mixing here, and it looks comfortable to boot!

  7. Talk about mixing patterns!!! You did an awesome job. Thanks ofr the inspiration ;~)

  8. Oh my gosh, Kendi. I love this outfit as well! Before I read what you wrote in this post, I looked at the pictures and thought, “This may be my favorite outfit she’s ever worn”…Weird. I loved the Shania reference BTW, it takes me back to 1999 haha!

  9. ooh, LOVE this outfit! I think it might just be my fave outfit in the entire blogosphere!! I’m smitten with the shape of that skirt & I love all of the fab patterns going on. Well done. xx veronika

  10. Wow! I love the skirt. You look so pretty. That lipstick looks great on you. Did you buy that skirt recently?

  11. Ah, 90s nostalgia, the music was something else back then… 

    Love this outfit, the colours are amazing on you, and the straw bag, too cute xo

  12. I LOVE this outfit- the mix of patterns is so fun & works together so well. You look amazing 🙂

  13. You make me giggle every time I read your write-up!  I am so in love with your skirt (really, love anything Anthro…so much that I only go there once a year and shop strictly in the sale room)  Simply gorgeous combo!

  14. Kendi, even before reading your post, I thought you looked especially wonderful in this outfit.  Love it!  Love the skirt especially.  That must be a perfect style for you. 

  15. That’s one of my favorite outfits for sure!!  So cute! 🙂  And yes, that song will be stuck in my head now, thank you very much! 🙂

  16. I love it too! I always wonder which outfits are your favorites, and which are your least favorites, and why. It’d be fun for you to do a top 5 and a bottom 5 and inform us why you think they worked or didn’t work. For those of us who could use the styling education, of course.

  17. Gorgeous! And I have to say – this photo shoot looks like it should be in an Anthropologie catalog. You look straight from the pages of an Anthro mailer!

  18. Gorgeous! And I have to say this photo shoot looks like it should be in an Anthropologie catalog. Yes, you look straight from the pages of an Anthro mailer!!

  19. Long-time reader, first-time commenter. I just had to tell you how much I LOVE this outfit. You look great!

  20. I love this whole outfit. You mix prints so well!  That thrifted top was such a great find!  And yes, thank you for getting Shania stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

  21. Kendi–love this!  On an unrelated note…how do you get such perfect waves in your hair???

  22. I wasn’t thinking Shania until you said her name.  Shame on you.  I love this outfit and the pattern mixing! 

  23. shania twain was the first concert i ever went to. i LIVED for shania when i was like…10. and i love that skirt, too. SO pretty!

  24. I looooooove that skirt! And I really like the combination of the bright florals with the more subdued shirt. 

  25. This is one of my favorite outfits of yours ever. It kind of looks like a page out of the ShopRuche lookbook (which I happen to think are some of the loveliest ads ever). Just so pretty, Kendi. 

    Also, Shania Twain is awesome. I used to sing that song at karaoke, ha!

  26. I love how you mix and match things that I would have never thought would look good together and they look Great on you!! I am inspired by your page everyday and I hope that I can pick up your good taste by reading your blog =0)

  27. fell in love with that skirt the instant i saw it on anthro’s site. so sad i missed it! looooving this look!!

  28. yep by far one of the prettiest outfits ever. if it was possible i would somehow steal it from you through the computer screen. which is fine because i’m not wearing it yet so i don’t have to act lady like.

  29. I love the skirt and shirt combo, but I think you should have worn your trademark red/orange heels. The wedges while cute by themselves, are just kinda off.

    Anyway I just want to say thank you for inspiring me on a daily basis, getting dressed in the morning has been an enjoyable experience since I began reading your blog over a year ago!

  30. That is one of my fave Anthro skirts this season – you do look wonderful! There’s something about wearing an Anthro skirt and feeling so utterly girly isn’t there? I think a style challenge would be doing a tomboy look in a patterned, full Anthro skirt!

  31. Ooo i love this outfit hun! I can see why you felt ladylike, it’s a perfectly ladylike outfit! That skirt especially is too die for. Can you just move near me already so i can steal your wardrobe? k?

  32. reason why i know you and i could be friends IRL: “I might stop pushing children down on the streets” – haha, love it! 

    that skirt is full and beautiful!

  33. The photography on this post is awesome! Love the girly skirt on you, this outfit looks great! And thanks for putting this song in my head lol- nice to explain that one at work 😉

  34. I usually don’t comment and just stalk you silently, but this outfit is too great to NOT say something.  that skirt fits you like a dream and it’s so bright and pretty! Such a great steal on that thrifted top, holy crap. you look lovely as always Kendi!

    p.s. I may or may not have had a dream that we did a blogger meet-up in real life and became BFF’s. 🙂

  35. I love this outfit, so far I must agree its my favourite too, suits the setting very well also!

  36. you are mixing stripes, patterns, and polka dots like a crazy woman! i don’t know if i could pull it off. sometimes i do this at home and when i go downstairs to show it off, it get sent back up 🙁

  37. I absolutely love that skirt! The pattern is gorgeous! (And I also love your Shania Twain reference. 🙂 I used to listen to her CD 24/7 when I was in elementary/middle school).

  38. I’m a (usually) silent reader but had to thank you for this one – I have that skirt and the only thing I love it with so far is a navy tee, red lips and tan heels…. I LOVE this look and it’s gotten me thinking of more creative ways to wear this skirt (that I’m so very in love with – gah, more than anything I’ve ever owned, it’s perfection).

  39. I have this skirt, but I have never worn it   I LOVE it on you, and am a little jealous that it looks so fabulous on you.    You look great!

  40. I have so many LOL moments when I read your posts. Today’s LOL moment ended with friends giving me some strange looks, but I can never capture your humor when I re-explain what I’m chuckling about! 

    Gorgeous outfit! That skirt is to die for.

  41. I owned that skirt for a hot minute but decided to return it.  Love how you styled it! The pattern mixing is divine!

  42. The colors to that skirt is amazing!!! Love everything about your outfit, I’m noticing the details of the belt and loving it too! – Mar

  43. I adore this outfit post. You look beautiful. The mix of patterns keep it modern, but the structure of the skirt makes it timeless. I think this is my favorite outfit post so far!

    Oh and yes, Shania will be stuck in my head now! My mom was a HUGE Shania Twain fan when I was younger and I have to admit I couldn’t help but to sing along 🙂

  44. i may or may not have had my phone set to a Shania Twain pandora station on my way home from work today 🙂

  45. I think this is the best outfit I’ve ever seen you in… which is really saying something, cause I essentially steal every outfit combo you come up with. haha I feel like I’ve just admitted to being a kendi-holic…

  46. Kendi! You look absolutely gorgeous. I love it! Definitely one of my most favorite outfits ever (on anyone!)

  47. I owed this skirt once but returned it…i saw lots of true girl show about this skirt, u r the best!!! Now I have the regret that i should return it…u look so gorgeous, stunning!

  48. I agree. This is one of the best outfits I’ve seen you wear. I love the pattern play and the ladylike, feminine accents.

  49. I LOVE this outfit! You have totally inspired me to be more creative with my wardrobe choices and accessories. I’ve also purged and organized my closet and accessories as a result of reading your blog. Thanks for being so willing to share your creativity with all of us!

  50. I don have the song stuck in my head now but thank goodness it’s almost my bed time and the music will stop, ha ha. Your outfit is very lady like and you did some good pattern mixing. I hope you went and sipped some tea at the country club and left the kids and elderly alone, lol 🙂 
    Cheers, 
    Bre

  51. Gee thanks for getting that song stuck in my head;-) you look great! And the stealing and pushing children is hilarious!

  52. I follow your blog everyday but usually don’t comment.  However I felt like I had to tell you about a coincidence.  For the past two days I have worn one of the same items you have been wearing — first the striped tee and now this skirt!  I loved wearing both of them too, especially this skirt.  I couldn’t resist the temptation to twirl a little in it…  🙂

  53. The skirt is absolutely beautiful!  I love the colours and the shape of it, I need to visit Anthropology more often!  I am always impressed with how you find things that are thrifted…and put together such amazing outfits!  Your pictures are fantastic so it just gives it the extra edge to make it look editorial!

  54. Everything about this outfit is amazing! You have really great style. Everything goes together so nicely and looks really good on. A+ my dear! 🙂
    As far as pushing and stealing, when dressed like this, they’ll never see it coming so even funnier!! Kidding of course, lol.

  55. Everything about this outfit is awesome. How many prints did you mix? So great!

  56. That skirt is STUNNING! I just love higher waist skirts that are knee length! I totally get what you mean, I always feel more ladylike in these skirts and tend to be more elegant. haha I’ve been stuck reading your blog! 🙂 Love it.

  57. Mad about the skirt!  Before I noticed the skirt was from Anthro I thought that your look (background included) looked like it belonged in their catalog.  So adorable!!

  58. Young woman, you are so SUBLIME even if this pretty skirt tries to make us forget this shining reality.
