{Dress: Bloom | Jacket: J.Crew Factory | Wedges: Similar}

If my face looks sleepy, it's because it's having a hard time waking up today. My brain is awake, but my face is not. It may be 10 am but I am still rocking some pillow marks on my face and arms. Apparently when I went to sleep last night, I meant it. Also, I had a dream that I had a full on mustache on one side of my face.  What scares me is that in my dream I thought "well this isn't a bad look." If that is foreshadowing for my future, I've lost all hope. 

I say this every year at this time but I'm going to say it again because if I didn't, it wouldn't be tradition: I'm ready for fall. I'm ready for layers without explanation. So yeah what if I am wearing a denim jacket and it might be offensively hot, I don't care. My outfit is cuter with the jacket. And nothing is cuter than a girl with a little bit of sweat, right?

    I am wearing a jean jacket today without need for it too. Will I be uncomfortably hot today? Yes. Will I be cuter because of it. Heck yes!

  6. You're outfit is definitely cuter with a jacket... I agree. What I also agree with is that I'm ready for fall. This sweating every night in my apartment and standing in from of the fan is not doing me well!

    ReplyDelete

  7. amen! i always rock a denim jacket when it's cuter! sweat, ftw!

    ReplyDelete

  8. I'm also ready for fall, I feel like my outfits have become so boring! I would be sweating up a storm if I was wearing a denim jacket!

  10. As a fellow Texan, my first thought was, whoa, a jacket! But I'm with you, I can't wait for fall. Not that that really means it'll be cool enough to be wearing jackets, but a girl can dream, right?

    ReplyDelete

  11. Oh yeah, sweat is the new black.

  12. I hate the days when I look sleepy!  What makes it worse is when other people notice it too.  I'm always like "Hey, I know, I looked in the mirror"!

    Love the outfit!

  13. Very cute. I would wear a denim jacket with a dress 345 days a year if I could :)

  14. Love the shoes and the bangle! Great choices to add to the outfit.

  15. My boyfriend constantly makes fun of me for wearing scarves in the summer. It may be 100 degrees in Atlanta, but if it looks good, I'm wearing it! I'm excited for fall, too--boots, tights, sweaters!!  Love this look! The dress is great. 

    ReplyDelete

  16. Ah Kendi, I so agree. Layers is where it's at. . . and I live in Arizona where the true layering doesn't make its debut until November. : ( 

    ReplyDelete

  17. I've been having the exact same thoughts, I cannot wait for fall, when I can wear scarves, boots and drink my coffee hot again.  I told my husband, the summer just makes me excited for Halloween and Christmas."  It's just something we have to get through.

  18. I want layers too! I'm moving to Scotland and I'm so ready for the 24/7 layer fest especially coming from FL!

  25. I wore a denim jacket yesterday :) love your outfit!

    ReplyDelete

  26. Totally agree on wanting the weather to agree with my desire to wear layers! I compromised today and opted for a vest. Although the moment I step outside I want to ditch it immediately! 

    ReplyDelete

  27. Cayuuute outfit!! The jean jacket totally makes the look. So what if you're a little dewy because of it. Perspiration is beauty...right? I think that's how the saying goes. And if it doesn't, well effective now, in the dead heat of a sweltering Texas summer, I declare it does :)

    ReplyDelete

  28. Such a cute outfit! That dress is great. I thought the same thing yesterday when I threw on my denim jacket. My dress just looked better with it on. Hurry up Fall!  -Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no/

    Great post and humor as always Kendi.

  35. I wish I were you today...don't think I could wear this but you look smashing!  
    Of course girls with sweat are cute...that's what I tell myself when I take the kids to Target AFTER my massive workout that allows my hair to be perfectly slicked back and my shirt to stick to me...sweat=sexy...am I right or am I right?

    ReplyDelete

  36. I feel ya - I am SO ready for fall and layers and boots and all of those wonderful things. 

    ReplyDelete

  37. AH! I just ran across your blog and LOVE it! So funny because 1/2 of my blog name is "Bloom"!
    So not the point though.
    Point is.......you're gorgeous and I adore your style!

    nice to meet you :)

  43. I love that dress! And I also CANNOT wait for fall. Everything about it. I'm a layering kind of girl to the bone. You'll see me in cardigans in the middle of summer all the time :) No judgement there!

    ReplyDelete

  44. I am so ready for fall too... I am sure I'll complain once it is too cold, but I want it to be sweater season! 

    ReplyDelete

  45. Darn straight.

    I can't wait for fall, either.

    ReplyDelete

  58. Love this outfit! Its the perfect transition from summer to fall (too bad the weather does'y agree). And I'm super tempted to blow my next paycheck on it.

    ReplyDelete

  59. Ankle boots!!!! I can not wait for ankle boots this fall. I tried to wear some the other day with denim cut-offs a la Kate Bosworth and I got the worst looks. People are not ready for boots here. And honestly, I was real sweaty.

  60. I love that dress!!! Trying to justify another clothing purchase to get it on Bloom right now....

  70. I'm with you. I find it so hard to look put together in the summer because my focus is just on wearing as little clothing as I can manage without looking flat out indecent. Some days it's so hot I'm sweating under my cuff bracelet and even a chunky necklace feels like more than I can stand.

    ReplyDelete

  71. I think most of us are ready for fall... I can't wait to start wearing not only jackets, but also boots!

    ReplyDelete

  72. I want it to be fall as well!!! I'm ready for layering...but this heat is NOT letting me do that. x___x Love this outfit!! Very cute dress. (:

  73. I can wait for fall, I really like the hot weather, but Mother Nature doesn't really take my opinions to heart, so I guess I'll be layering up pretty soon too. I want a dress just like yours, as well as a denim jacket. Maybe you want to send me the ones you're wearing?

  79. Love the jean jacket plus dress look. It's been my uniform for summer nights this year! And nooooo, I am not ready for fall! I think I'll never shake my elementary school thought process of end of summer = beginning of school = end of staying up late and having fun. I should probably outgrow that soon. Yep. Any day. =)

  92. I love fall fashion and the stores are making me want to layer. If we went from fall to spring, I'd be all for fall. It's such a shame we let winter get in the way ;)

    ReplyDelete

  93. You are looking so cute Kendi, as always! :) We are in OK, so we are feeling the same heat. Finger crossed that we get to break out the layers sooner than November! Or else, we will be sweating in style too!  :) ~L&W

  103. I love your comment "layers without explanation". It made me giggle mostly because even though I live in Southern California, by the time October rolls around I try to pretend it isn't over 85 degrees everyday. 

    ReplyDelete

  104. You are just too cute, love your style and your humour even more. Thanks for making me smile and giggle so much! But please no fall, we didn't even have a real summer until now in germany. So yeah, I was wearing a lot of layers without explanation these last months. 

    ReplyDelete

  105. Hello Kendy , I love your blog . I follow many style blogs but it seems there is not enough outfit for a rainy summer day. I'm looking forward to see it in your blog.
    cheers

    ReplyDelete

  106. Wearing jackets/vests even though it is obscenely hot and therefore unnecessary? Yup, that has been me all summer. What can I say, I'm an autumn lady. A layerer through and through.

  107. This is a beautiful dress.  I live in Dallas too, and I am so ready for the fall.  I've been rocking the jean jacket with a little bit of sweat too. :) It's nearly impossible not to when it's over 100!

  111. Such cute prints on that dress! Sometimes a jean jacket can add that 'extra something' to an outfit, so if you look great wearing it, let it be! In my case, I have to say that I'm more of a summer girl!
