{Top: Ruche | Shorts: Similar | Bag: Melie Bianco | Heels: Target}

I have a girl crush on Olivia Palermo’s style. (She kind of scared me as a co-worker and friend in The City, but I dig her clothes and hair.) It’s no surprise since I have a pinboard called ‘Girl Crushes‘ and she’s pretty much the star. I feel like my outfit today is very Olivia. Well, if Olivia lived in the suburbs and didn’t spend a lot on shoes, then definitely. 
So Olivia, if you ever find my Pinterest board with all of your photos on it, don’t be alarmed. I don’t want to stalk you and hurt you, I just want to be your best friend and take all of your clothes when you aren’t looking. Where’s the harm in that?

  1. I almost bought that very blouse on Ruche the other day! This is a special day for me, Kendi. I might actually have…a fashion instinct!!!! 🙂 As always, you look great!

  2. Ha!  Very cute!  I did watch that show a couple of times and she seemed super scary.

  3. That’s kind of how I feel about you… also in a non-creepy way! 
    I’m loving your hair. It’s kind of making me want to cut mine, but I’m such a wimp about losing length!

  4. I loove her style; very crush worthy. That top is so darling! I love the collar.

  5. She’s my favorite too.  I thought she was crazy on The City, but still always thought she looked great, even while being crazy.  You also look great (and not crazy).

  6. That top is already sold out, dagnabbit! I would like to take all your clothes when you aren’t looking if you are going to take hers. Deal?

  7. My goodness, this outfit is so cute! I’m in love with the color of your purse! I just did a post on my blog with my latest thrifted pieces and some embroidery I’m working on. Stop by and have a look if you can, that’d be amazing!

  9. Great top – so pretty! And last I heard, OP was raving about Kendi on her pinterest…bet you’re her style inspiration…and if not, why not?! 🙂 xx

  10. Bahaha I’m also slightly/seriously obsessed with Olivia! Love this outfit and I can’t wait to see you at ifbcon!!

  11. This is very OP-inspired and I love it.  I have a major crush on her too and have been known to search through Pinterest images of her for outfit inspiration! 🙂

  12. That top is so so pretty!!! I adore the collars. I love this so much. (: I see the Olivia inspiration~

  13. SURELY she could at least gift you her hand me downs?? 🙂 she is my style idol as well, so adorable… every time. 

  14. I love those shorts! The link to the “similar” isn’t linked…can you add the link so I can find some like these 🙂 

  15. The last time you posted about those leopard heels I may or may not have run straight to Target to go “grocery shopping” and those leopard heels may or may not have dropped off the shelf into my cart and I may have accidentally bought them. And I may or may not be wearing them right this minute and feeling like a rebel at work. Maybe.

  16. I too am obsessed with how pretty OP is. Seriously, her hair…what? how? And I love pretty much everything she’s ever worn. I’ve never watched The City, and I’m going to keep it that way just so I can keep the image I have of her in my head.

  17. Haha, I want to take all of Olivia’s clothes too… and yours for that matter. If I start a pin board filled with pictures of you, you won’t be alarmed, right?  Love your lace top with the super cute collar!

  19. Love Olivia – Love the outfit.  And I’d like to raid your closet for some clothes, thankyouverymuch. 🙂

  20. LOL! I feel the same way about you – like oh gosh am I over pinning this girl? She’s gonna think I’m a wierdo stalker. Glad to hear you can relate. And yes, OP has fabulous style. Love the outfit today, Miss Kendi. I always do.

  21. Hahah, hilarious post. Feel the same way about Miss OP, I don’t know if I could work with her but would love to be a BFF

  22. Olivia is definitely on my girl crush list too- she just makes getting dressed look so easy and pretty. I’d totally steal her clothes too, although I’m not sure they would fit my size 8 butt! haha

  23. This top is amazing (I’m completely obsessed with collars right now), but I love the whole ensemble! Very Olivia indeed.

  24. I’m absolutely loving your styling choices lately. So glad that I now have a target near me, therefore enabling me to stalk you and dress more like you. I promise my intentions are good! 

  25. there are definitely some women that I would take all of their clothes if I had the chance. you’re actually one of them. so good work 🙂 and love the sexy leopard heels! they’re perfect.

  26. Kendi, you have outdone yourself. I’m kinda majorly obsessed with this entire outfit. The collar! The lace! The black and white! The perfect touch of animal print! When are you going to visit Georgia to become my personal stylist? (Just kidding. Mostly.)

  67. I have been looking for a really nice initial pendant.  Where did you get yours?  BTW, love your outfit. 🙂 

  68. This is very Olivia. And you even sort of resemble her.  Definitely could be interpreted as stalkerish…or just as really awesome style 😉

  77. Kendi! Do you ever have problems with shoes slipping off  your heels? Do you have a tip on how to fit shoes better in the heels? thanks!

  78. I adore Ms. Palermo as well.  Surely she would be very proud of you in this outfit, Kendi.  You look incredibly adorably chic! 🙂
