Pinterest is taking over my life. There I said it. I realized this today as I was looking at it on my phone while still in bed. 7 am and I’m scrolling through Pinterest. That can not be normal, right? I mean Facebook at 7 am is whatever but Pinterest? Get a hold of yourself. 
All of that to say that I’ve turned over a new leaf with my beloved pin boards. Before I was pinning outfits like I eat french fries — fast, careless, and with ketchup. Then I would look at what I’d pinned and be sad that I really didn’t have the EXACT pieces that I needed to come up with pinned outfits. But I realized that was dumb, so instead I’ve started a board that just focuses on color or just focuses on patterns. I might not have the pieces but I do have the color. For example, this outfit I pinned and copied today — it’s not exact but it’s exactly what I wanted to wear. Who knew? Pinterest, my long lost bff, that’s who knew.

 Really all of this talk is just me justifying looking at Pinterest, on my phone, in my bed as soon as my alarm wakes me. The first step is admitting it, the second is to pin.

*Update: I didn’t realize that my Pinterest inspiration photo is just almost NSFW. Let’s just say she’s taking sheer to the next level. My apologies if you had an awkward encounter with a co-worker and your computer screen.

  1. hehehe thankfully in this strange blogger space, we all understand..we too sleep with our phones under our pillows and wake up pinning…totally normal. 

    …and I love your outfit. I'm sure pinterest would be very proud!

  2. Kendi, you're hilarious…This is one of my most favorite outfits of all time…Nicely done…Nicely done..

  3. I'm glad I'm not the only one! 🙂 Love the outfit!

  4. I love pinning at school between classes…and after. Studying-oh, oops!

  5. I love this look on you. It's beautiful and reminds me of fall with the colors! I'm new to pinterest but I can see myself getting hooked…lol

  6. So happy to be your newest Pinterest follower! And the outfit is amazing – omg those shoes and I looooove that blouse. If waking up at 7am and going on Pinterest inspires you to wear outfits like that, I say own it. 🙂

  7. I constantly scroll anything on my phone to prolong actually getting out of bed…twitter, instagram, facebook, you name it.

  8. I like your outfit better than the original pin.  Nipple flashing isn't for everyone:)

  9. Your Pinterest addiction isn't bad until you're hanging out with other people and realize you've ignored them to check your feed. However, I've found you can redeem yourself from this if the other people you're hanging out with are doing the same thing and the group breaks out into an intense conversation about the things you've all pinned.

  10. I have a serious problem with picking up my phone the second my alarm goes off. addicted to the Internet, I say!  at least your outfit benefited from your addiction.

    lovelovelove that shirt. happy birthday to Bloom! 🙂

  11. Hi kendi! I love the shoes that you have on your Bloom's page that is featuring this blouse. What are they? 😉

  12. I LOVE this outfit—much better than the original. Great improvement! Now I'll pin your outfit to my 'I wish If had the clothes to pull this off' board 😉 

  13. What a pretty color combo! I love pinterest too… But 7am? Yea… It's a little much 😛

  14. Great idea!  I've been debating reorganizing my boards too but wasn't sure where to start.  I like your idea of colors / patterns etc.  Thanks for the tip!

  15. It's blowing my mind right now that you're talking about using Pinterest for outfit inspiration, because I've been working all week on a little article with how to do it (or how I do it, anyway). It's all ready to go up tomorrow morning (Friday)…in case you're interested 😉

  16. We are in the same wagon. I love pinterest. I pin like crazy and I don't  have anything remotely similar to what I pin. I just like to believe that to be my virtual closet. One day when I win the lottery Ill probably buy all of the things I have pin.
    Keep pinning!

  17. Dear Kendi,
    I pin at 7 am in bed too. Well, first I check the weather, my email, facebook, instagram, then pinterest. In that exact order at 7 am. By 8am I tell myself I have to get out of bed and do real things, like feed my three year old.

  18. Pinterest is always the answer.  What to wear today?  What to cook/bake?  What's the next house project?  Serious addiction. 

  19. LOVE that shirt! I noticed that it's already sold out on the Bloom website. Congrats (but boo for me)! 🙂

  20. Thank you for not showing your nipples on the internet like your pinspiration did. 😉

  21. I'm totally with you on the need to re-organize my Pinterest boards. I got so excited initially that I put everything on the same board! I've been thinking about spending some time one Sunday to get them sorted out.

    Loving your look as usual!

  22. I do the same thing! Wake up pinning & go to bed pinning! We need to start a group like AA but for Pinners! 😉

  23. Haha yes! I do the same thing. Pinterest, words with friends, Facebook, then text messages. That's how I roll. 🙂

  24. What size shoe do you wear? Because if it is anything close to an 8.5, you better watch your back. Or ask for my address and pop those puppies in the mail.

  25. I love this outfit!  Too bad the top is already sold out online.  I really like the belt with it.

    I am addicted to Pinterest too…it's just too awesome.Alicewww.happinessatmidlfie.com

  26. Brilliant organizational idea for Pinterest. I keep a bulletin board in my closet and literally cut from magazines and pin my favorite outfits to the board so that I have a cheat sheet when I'm getting dressed in the morning. Yeah, I'm old school like that. And I suck at mornings.

    By the way, I love your blog so much that sometimes when I'm waiting for an afternoon update from you I chant your name at my computer screen. Maybe I do that. 

    As always, great outfit post.

  27. Oooo! I love the pants!! Very cute. (: Great color!

  28. I have seen these pants on oh so many blogs lately.  I want them so badly!  And yes I am definitely a bit of a pinterest addict, too.  And e-mail. And twitter.  Why is it literally my mind's very first instinct the moment I wake up in the morning to check my e-mail?  I don't quite get it.

  29. I do the same thing with Instagram… 6:30am in bed checking what's new. It's both sad & awesome at the same time.

  30. Pinterest has a lot to answer for….I find myself whipping out the ipad and pinning away when I can't sleep or while "watching" tv. I feel I need to ration myself.
    I too have re-organised my pin boards recently, when I created them I wasn't aware of just how much I would pin! I now have winter, summer, accessories style boards (amongst many more!)

  31. I love your outfit and especially love the shoes.  I love pinning, but the other day I found myself maxed out. I couldn't re-pin anymore. Who knew. Anyways I had to do some cleaning of my boards, which I wasn't to happy about doing but now it just gives me more room for new stuff. 🙂

  32. Pinterest has pretty much ruined my life while also making it awesome. I don't want to know how many hours I spend pinning & think about what could have been done in that time. I justify by saying that Pinterest is inspiring me & I'd just be doing something useless like watching TV instead.

    Love the outfit & love your Pinterest boards! 

  33. dear kendi,

    please don't say pinning before 7am/whilst still in the midst of morning sleep is a problem! if you admit to it that means i have to admit to it. and i don't even have a style blog…

  34. Kendi, if it makes you feel any better I go through the same routine each morning (all while still in bed) – quick check of Facebook, about 30 minutes of Pinterest browsing, THEN I get up to brush my teeth.  Pinning at 7 am seems like the new norm if you ask me.

  35. Love the look and really that outfit is soo close to the one you pinned.  Except you added a bra…way to keep it classy!

  36. Girl, if you aren't browsing Pinterest at 7am, you're doing something wrong.  😉

    love/want your clutch!!

  37. I need to have a massive reorganization with my boards!

  38. I feel like it's rude just to comment on one thing when I love the whole outfit, but THAT green bracelet is beautiful!
    (Also I'm also super jealous because I know from experience that when I wear those colours I look like a pot of Colman's Mustard, whereas you look lovely.)

  39. These pictures are fabulous, especially the first two. Love the outfit! Those shoes are to die for, but my poor feet would have none of it. Also, I think wearing that shade of yellow on bottom is great for those of us who can't wear it near our face. 

  40. I totally and completely identify with your post haha… My name is Monica and I'm a Pinterest Addict!!! I kinda get most of my outfit ideas from there!! It's just that sometimes a girl can get really overwhelmed staring at her closet and her mind would stay blank (here comes the line: I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!), that's when taking a scroll down pinterest page the problem is solve!! 🙂 As well as you, now I only pin outfits I know I can pull together with the stuff I owned (or will own soon!)…. If you then categorize them in F/W & S/S is even easier 😉
    Love ur blog!!!

  41. As soon as my alarm goes off, I immediately check Instagram, FB and Pinterest.  Suffice it to say…I'm either addicted to my iPhone or social media!  I'll let you be the judge.

  42. I am completely with you in the pintrest addiction! No shame though…I don't think we're alone 🙂

  43. Don't worry… Pinterest is taking over my life too! You're not alone. Love your look today… I'm pinning it as we speak!

  44. I LOVE this whole outfit today!  And I wish I had your hairdo, it's beautiful and goes so well with the look.

  45.  she looks so POLISHED these days!!  BRAVO Kendi.  keep it up!  youre my inspiration again 🙂

  48. Glad I'm not the only one that creeps around Pinterest at all hours of day & night!

  49. I looked thru EVERY comment hoping somebody asked you where you got that green bracelet and you responded :/ no luck! 
    I know you're lucky to be near the Kendra Scott store…that's what it looks like – but I'm hoping it's just a gorgeous (ahem…inexpensive!) knock off! PLEASE tell me where you got it 🙂
