But when you go out for a date night, it’s just not handy to bring a camera. (Although I am not above that. There is little that I am above.) So again with the trusty iPhone for outfit shots. I hate to waste a good outfit. But seriously — why am I just now figuring this out? Did you guys know that you can use the internet, send text messages and play games on your iPhone as well? I know, I’m still in awe.  Side story: (as if my whole blog isn’t one huge side story) this weekend as we were setting up for the wedding, a lady desperately asked “does anyone have any tools in their car??” I of course heard “jewels” and perked right up. Turns out, jewels are of no worth when a wrench is needed.

  17. Kendi,

    All these colors fit your personality – bright, happy and hard to ignore,

    On a side note, having English as a second language you cannot imagine the things I hear. But it is always a great for laughs later.

  24. I wore exactly the same color combo to a cocktail party … I don’t think people got it. But you get it and that matters to me!!! Connection? Yes? Me creepy? Perhaps.

  25. Kendi, I love this look. All of the beautiful and bright jewel toned colors go so great together!ย  Oh, and by the way, I would have thought the lady had said “jewels” too! Don’t ask me for help using a wrench! Haha! ๐Ÿ˜‰ย 

  26. haha you wait until someone comes up with the brilliant idea of a wrench that can be transformed into a necklace! it shall happen… or maybe cars should be unbreakable. thatยดd be nicer ๐Ÿ™‚

    yay for the iphone saving your day!ย
