I have officially conquered the smolder look. Look at that smolder up there. That look says “Fall in love with me, but don’t, I’ll only break your heart.” It’s been 26 years in the making; looking in mirrors constantly, checking my reflection in order to master the smolder. But look at that smolder now — conquered! 
I am not sure where this pretty scarf came from. Did I steal it? Possibly. I can’t remember. Oh wait no I didn’t steal my scarf. Whew. My sweet cousin donated it to me. (You know, my Donate Pretty Scarves to Kendi Foundation) But where did she get it? I have no idea. She probably stole it. 
For the life of me, I couldn’t think of a name for this blog post. So leave your suggestions now! The best one wins.*

*And by best I mean funniest and by win I mean I’ll just re-name my post. That’s all you get. And a hug. You get a hug.
**The winner is: “Over the Shoulder Smolder Holder” from Stephanie. I laughed for a good 5 minutes on that one. You guys are funny — I should hire all of you to write my titles for me. I don’t pay and I”m a terrible boss. You in?

  1. unfortunately this isn't one of my more creative days. i just have to say that between you & tania (what would a nerd wear), i have been convinced that i must buy (after 3 for 30, of course) a megan nielsen skirt. it looks so great on both of you.

  2. Smoldering fields
    The 26 year smolder?

    I have a hard time smoldering myself, so I seem to be stuck on that- I usually end up cracking myself up. I love the backdrop for your photos, and that's really great lighting!

  3. P.S. I'm the "anonymous" that left "A smolder in the meadow" but I can't sign in!!

  4. Secrets of The Smoldering Scarf

    Smoulder Moulder

    Lying, Cheating, Stealing and Smoulding

    Eyes if a Thief

    Kendi's REAlly, REALLY, Cool. There I said it.

    Okay, Where's My Hug?

    Looking good BTW! Love it.

  5. "Don't Let The Sun…go down on Kendi." Sung to the tune of Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

    This is lame…and could be pervy in the minds of the pervs. Probably shouln't even hit send. But I will.

  6. "Smoldering Fields Forever"

    Again with lame. At least it is a Beatles reference this time.

  7. Oh My! I thought i was going to be so clever and unique and suggest a title with "stolen scarf" or "smolder" in the title. Oy. Turns out we are ALL so clever! How about Possibly Slightly Stolen Smolder Scarf Spotlight?

  8. over the shoulder smolder holder AKA my scarf.

    do i get the hug in person? (that's kind of a creeeeeeeeeepy internet stalker question, isn't it?)

    =)

  9. I love the outfit! the skirt is simple but I love its shape and colour and the button facing, aw pretty! And the scarf matches the background so nicely 🙂

    hm title… maybe "Donations save scarves from being stolen"?

  10. 'that gorgeous glow'

    the last pic is my fave! check your blog almost daily, lovve it!

  11. I wear glasses so smouldering looks more like "oh no I have lost a lens and now cannot see!" I need to work on that.

    Very cute scarf!

  12. Out of Africa

    The movie was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this outfit. The khaki skirt and leather boots reminds me of the pretty safari outfits Meryl Streep wears in Out of Africa, plus the landscape kind of looks like the savannah!

  13. Everyone seemed to go with the smolder. But how about
    A Family Trait (skill)
    Cause come on, which will come more handy. Breakig hearts or stealing clothes? …okay well if the guys are loaded…

    Aanyways. I love the scarf. Does your cousin take orders?

  14. File It Under the Smolder Folder

    Looove this simple fall outfit and the perfect autumnal lighting! You look classic, effortless, and beautiful 🙂

  15. I have no title suggestion but I have to agree about the smoldering look! And I love the lighting in these photos, it's very 70's.

  16. Hi Kendi, everytime I want some comic relief and fashion fun I come to your blog, which is pretty much daily 🙂 thanks for offering a great combo and entertaining blog! I love your sense of humor and ur style of course… I just finally bought the intyce boots after looking forever for a cognac boot but I have always seen you wear them. I think mr. Steven himself should comp you for the advertisement!

  17. Cute!

    A la Kenny Rogers:

    "You Gotta Know When to Smolder, Know When to…"

    Or…cause maybe you're a big fan, how about:

    Smolder and Scully and the Case of the Alien Scarf

    Too much? Probably. Gah.

  18. Kendi Intentions after Cruel Intentions. I think you knock 'em out with your smolder though. Just saying.

  19. I don't know why, but 'Kiss kiss, bang bang' comes to mind after reading your post. I think it came to me from the part where you say "Fall in love with me, but don't, I'll only break your heart". Oh and maybe the potential scarf stealing and semi Western-ish look to this cute outfit! But all the smoldering scarf title variations mentioned are fun too!

  20. i vote for "the smold and the beautiful" but because i would like a shot at a hug of my own i'll go with "under wraps"

  21. i love this outfit! if you only knew how many times i laugh at my desk. in my office. alone. haha! i think you look very "scarfilicious". yes, i made that word up.

  22. Haha! you're too funny. You need to go watch Tangled, it's SOOO cute, and the whole "smolder" look totally reminds me of the movie. LOVE. 🙂

    I suck at thinking of blog post names, so no help there. 🙂

  23. Post title proposal:
    Can you smell burning? I think something is smoldering *sniffs*

    Me, I don't do graceful titles. But then I don't know how to smolder so there 😉

    I've been trying for the one eyed blink of Metropolis' Maria for years (turns out a friend of mine has been practicing in front of her mirror too!) but unlike you and your smolder I am far from my (somewhat creepy) goal 😀

  24. In honor of all the hard work it took to get your "look" down, and the possibly stolen/possibly not stolen scarf, I suggest: "Blue Steal" (a la Zoolander) Sure, your scarf isn't blue, BUUUT your shirt is. 😉

  25. Smolder in the Sunlight

    OR

    Call me Mrs. Smolder

    either way the outfit is cute and smolderiffic. hey…

    Smolderiffic!

  26. Keep Strong and Smolder On

    (I'm a total lurker, but I love your blog and the strength you have for the 30 for 30!)

  27. Smoldering reminds me of kindling, which reminds me of Kendi. Only one degree of separation between you and smoldering, what took you so long to master it!? 😉

    So..maybe Smoldering Kendling. Or since we're dealing with outfit #18, maybe 18 degrees above smoldering.

    The more I write smoldering, the stranger it looks and sounds.

  28. Stole Scarves Foundation- covering bare necked ladies one stolen scarf at a time!

  29. Cute cute cute cute cute cute cute!
    I straight out adore this outfit.
    It's no fair that the seasons aren't the same on both sides of the world. Today is the first day of summer and all I want to wear are socks and boots like you.

    Also, I'm hosting a give away. Check it out.

  30. That's a lovely scarf, the color is so pretty on you!

    And I'm not awesome at coming up with post titles, maybe 'I'll only break your heart'?

  31. hahaha! i love your blog voice. i don't read most fashion bloggers' posts…i just look at the pictures…but yours i read. 'cause you're funny.

    i think i would call this post "i've mastered knee highs under boots AND the smolder look. what have YOU done?"

  32. Just wanted to tell you I absolutely love this outfit!! Gorgeous pics!

    Sorry, I don't have a title…

    Mel

  33. you + that skirt is a really pretty combo. you pull it off so well. and that's a really pretty scarf too! i love the way you tied it.

    that last picture with the sun in the back? GORGEOUS.

    i'm bad with funny so i'll leave it to the others 😀

  34. Love those photos. You look so gorgeous as always. How do you find a place to take these gorgeous photos with no people around? That's what I'd like to know 🙂 Have a great week!

  35. This post is about a stolen scarf. But who cares. Check out that smolder.

    Introducing THE SMOLDER.

  36. Look Deep Into My Eyes and Hand Over Your Accessories.

    These photos of you are gorgeous, as usual. I really like the over-the-knee socks you've got on under your boots in this one. They're very close in color to your boots, so they just add a little length and have the same effect as OTK boots without you having to actually wear OTK boots, which, to me, look super uncomfortable. 🙂

  37. "here comes the smolder" – from the new movie Tangled!

    very appropriate with the timing of 2010? lol.

    cute outfit!! 🙂

  38. Don't call it a scarf, call it a comeback… as in comeback, because my look is so smoldering you'll wanna come back.

    Add a boo-yah on the end for emphasis.

  39. Because I like to be different, I'm not including scarf or smolder. I'm . . .

    "Skirting the issue"

    There you go. The first thing I noticed about your pics was your skirt. I'm skirting the issue of scarf thievery and smoldering looks. Your post title should, too :oD

  40. I love your smolder…I just look very upset with the camera when I try. Because really, I'm blaming that damn camera lens for just not properly capturing my enticing glance. Come hither, I say, but I'm pretty sure all you hear is: There is something in my right eye.

    Sigh. But you look great. And the scarf is pretty, stolen or not.

  41. hmmm…here is my go:

    #1) to smolder or not to smolder, that is the question

    #2) the misadventures of a khaki skirt

    #3) what beige and blue and Kendi all over?

    #4) don't look at me, I'll just break your heart!

    OK, that was kind of fun.

  42. "Conquering the smolder look with a stolen scarf" – I apologize, if this is a repeat, but didn't have time to check. 😉 In any case; as always love the look and in this case also very much the background, xox, Macs

  43. Joli — My husband takes my photos! Isn't that nice of him?

    (He kind of has to. I withhold food and love if he doesn't.)

  44. i am the 150th commenter!!!!! do i get a prize? just kidding. this outfit is gift enough for me. you look amazing and the lighting in the photos just enhances that. kendi, i've said it before and i'll say it again, you are a remix master!

  45. Okay, so this outfit convinced me more than ever that we should BFFs and we should go shopping. And you should cough in my general direction at clothes you think I should by, so then it looks like I picked it out myself! Deal? 🙂

    Mackenzie

  46. Love the way you're wearing the scarf – how'd you tie it that way? Does it stay?

  47. This just might be my favorite outfit of the challenge thus far. LOVE everything about it! Also, the last photo is amazing – you look great and the lighting is incredible!

  48. I adore your stolen scarf 🙂 The orange colors look great with your blue shirt. Your skirt is cute, too 🙂

  49. is it hugely pathetic that IT MADE MY WEEK that you picked my title? that i jumped up and down ( a few times) and said "yipeee!" sorta is. oh well. it's the little things in life. =)

    thanks for ALL your inspiration.
