I had an older lady stop and say to me in the shop on Saturday “the higher, the better, honey.” She pointed to my bun and then to my heels. We squeezed each other’s hands and had a moment. And in that moment it was just me and my 80 year old doppelganger, holding each other in the middle of a crazy world.

Little did she know that the heels I was wearing at the time had nothing on these. These are five inch heels — she would be so proud. 

I wore this out for a night on the town with B this Saturday night. Of course we tore it up. And of course we were home by 8 pm. Possibly asleep by 9. Just wild, that’s what our date nights are.

  2. Did this lady look like you at all?  Because in the awesome sci-fi version of reality, she would be a time-traveling future Kendi stopping in to say hello!

  3. Kendi, I think these pics look even better than the one on your Bloom website!  They look so good with the jeans 🙂

  4. I love it when older women compliment my outfits.  I don't know why, but somehow, it feels better than when women my own age say something.

  5. Love that top! You always have the best stories! SO funny!

  10. That is such a cute story.  I think I just snorted through my nose a little bit!  Cute outfit… love yellow on you! 🙂

  11. Love the earrings, they add just the right touch. I am curious though are you wearing lipstick or is this your natural lipcolor? If it's lipstick I love it and I want it! If it is your natural lipcolor I am SO jealous!

  12. hahaha what a great story! She would be proud. What a great look!

  16. " And in that moment it was just me and my 80 year old doppelganger, holding each other in the middle of a crazy world." I love this quote so much. 🙂

  17. I love this yellow top! I've been trying to branch out into yellows and greens lately. I feel like I get stuck in one color far too often! I also love how well the earrings go with the outfit.

  18. Just wanted to let you know I've chosen this look as part of my Friday Top Five. The unusual mixture of the bright yellow with the neutral brown combo is really stepping out of the box. The use of colour is truly advanced.

  20. Kendi– how tall is your husband that you are able to pull off high heels almost daily!?! I'm 5' 9'' too and I always feel gigantic amongst the tiny people of my hometown and even my bf (who is 6'). share your secrets!
