I typically don’t say much about my outfits, but this one might be one of my favorite outfits ever. I just feel like a lady in this get-up. I might even start using the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ I might stop pushing children down on the streets and stealing from old people. That is how good I feel in this outfit.
I’m kidding, I don’t push children or steal. At least today I don’t.
(Why yes that is a Shania Twain reference in the title. You wanted that song stuck in your head all day, right? You are welcome.)

Awesome skirt. I love it with the shoes!!!
i LOVE that skirt.. and yes. now i have shania in my head. thank you? xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
LOL, at least it’s a song I like.
You look lovely (I think you deserve a very ladylike adjective). I love the combination of dots and that pretty floral. I admired that skirt on Anthro’s site, but never bought it. And that bag, so cute!
Didn’t even make the connection about the song and title until you mentioned it … thanks a lot, Kendi!!! (An alternative title could have been “Damn! I feel like a woman!”
Definitely a fabulous outfit! The subtle print details of your top and shoes make it totally Kendi!
Love that skirt! You’re right… That song will be stuck in my head the rest of the day. Thanks! 🙂 I heart Hall & Oates, too.
Your red lipstick totally makes the entire outfit. You look like you should be strolling the streets of Italy!
So lovely.

I was just about to tell you how rude it was of you to get that Shania Twain song stuck in my head. Time to go listen to Puerto Rican reggaeton or some Nirvana to get that outta the ol’ noggin.
In other news, you look awesome. The colors of your skirt rock and I am seriously impressed with all of the patterns you’ve mixed into this look.
Goodness but that’s a marvelous skirt.
You are able to mix patterns so well! I love that skirt, it’s timeless.
xoxo.

I have to agree with you. This is probably one of my favorite outfits too!

You are the best dressed small (or big) town girl I’ve ever seen.
The song really is stuck in my head now, thank you. 🙂
Yeah, this outfit is amazing. You definitely look like a lady!
I don’t think love covers the feelings I have toward your skirt…in a completely non-creepy way of course! The vibrant colors, the a-line, the floral print, the length…all combine together to make absolute perfection!

Oh my gosh, Kendi. I love this outfit as well! Before I read what you wrote in this post, I looked at the pictures and thought, “This may be my favorite outfit she’s ever worn”…Weird. I loved the Shania reference BTW, it takes me back to 1999 haha!
Love the look. Is that handbag from What I Wore? I know she has a similar one. And, you do look very lady like!
http://akstylemyway.blogspot.com/
This is one of my favorite of your outfits too! You look amazing and the best part is that you don’t look like you’re trying.

Wow! I love the skirt. You look so pretty. That lipstick looks great on you. Did you buy that skirt recently?
Ah, 90s nostalgia, the music was something else back then…
Love this outfit, the colours are amazing on you, and the straw bag, too cute xo
I LOVE this outfit- the mix of patterns is so fun & works together so well. You look amazing 🙂
That skirt is one of my favorites on you. It rivals that blue pencil skirt. You know the one.
AH! This is SO cute. Definitely one of my favorites of yours as well. That skirt!
You make me giggle every time I read your write-up! I am so in love with your skirt (really, love anything Anthro…so much that I only go there once a year and shop strictly in the sale room) Simply gorgeous combo!

That’s one of my favorite outfits for sure!! So cute! 🙂 And yes, that song will be stuck in my head now, thank you very much! 🙂
I love it too! I always wonder which outfits are your favorites, and which are your least favorites, and why. It’d be fun for you to do a top 5 and a bottom 5 and inform us why you think they worked or didn’t work. For those of us who could use the styling education, of course.
You look so so beautiful and lady-like! Totally one of your best outfits ever 🙂 xo
Kendi, you always make me laugh. I love this outfit. I see why it’s your fave.
you do look like a lady 🙂 i think it’s especially that red lipstick. and your hair looks bomb.com.
so pretty! love that skirt!

Gorgeous! And I have to say – this photo shoot looks like it should be in an Anthropologie catalog. You look straight from the pages of an Anthro mailer!
You should also say that you feel like you’re in an Anthropologie ad, because that’s what you look like 🙂
Love the outfit! 🙂

I wasn’t thinking Shania until you said her name. Shame on you. I love this outfit and the pattern mixing!
shania twain was the first concert i ever went to. i LIVED for shania when i was like…10. and i love that skirt, too. SO pretty!
OOooooh! You struck GOLD with this one. You do indeed look like a fancy lady. I’d throw my coat over a puddle for you.
I looooooove that skirt! And I really like the combination of the bright florals with the more subdued shirt.
Oh yeah http://stilettosinthesuburbs.blogspot.com/
I LOVE your skirt!

that skirt is the best! adorable, as usual.
I love how this skirt falls perfectly below your knees. When I tried this skirt on it was hitting me mid calf. Looks absolutely gorgeous on you!
I love this outfit. Very lady like! The shoulders on this top are lovely.
X x
so pretty!
This is one of my favorite outfits of yours ever. It kind of looks like a page out of the ShopRuche lookbook (which I happen to think are some of the loveliest ads ever). Just so pretty, Kendi.
Also, Shania Twain is awesome. I used to sing that song at karaoke, ha!
I’m in love with that skirt pattern. My style. Very colorfull.
http://niebieskookagigi.blogspot.com/
So pretty! And yes, that song is now stuck in my head. Thanks!

AMAZING kendi. As always, I am very impressed.
Kendi, I just love this outfit. Beautiful.

I love how you mix and match things that I would have never thought would look good together and they look Great on you!! I am inspired by your page everyday and I hope that I can pick up your good taste by reading your blog =0)
Get it out of my head!!! Arrrrggg!!!
That cursed song…. I forgive you due to this lovely outfit, though!
fell in love with that skirt the instant i saw it on anthro’s site. so sad i missed it! looooving this look!!
You seriously crack me up. We have the exact same sense of humor and I just love reading your posts!
yep by far one of the prettiest outfits ever. if it was possible i would somehow steal it from you through the computer screen. which is fine because i’m not wearing it yet so i don’t have to act lady like.
Hey, we are skirt twins today! You look more fabulous though. Very put together and gorgeous!

Love that skirt!
I love the skirt and shirt combo, but I think you should have worn your trademark red/orange heels. The wedges while cute by themselves, are just kinda off.
Anyway I just want to say thank you for inspiring me on a daily basis, getting dressed in the morning has been an enjoyable experience since I began reading your blog over a year ago!
Your skirt is so gorgeous. The mixed patterns are very cute and whimsical! And I love the colors against the door. Beautiful photos!

Woww your legs look extra long in that !!
That is one of my fave Anthro skirts this season – you do look wonderful! There’s something about wearing an Anthro skirt and feeling so utterly girly isn’t there? I think a style challenge would be doing a tomboy look in a patterned, full Anthro skirt!
http://www.simplystylishmom.com
Love, love, love the skirt! Such a great colour for summer.
http://thekeypieces.blogspot.com
Ooo i love this outfit hun! I can see why you felt ladylike, it’s a perfectly ladylike outfit! That skirt especially is too die for. Can you just move near me already so i can steal your wardrobe? k?
so sweet http://the-fire-inside-me.blogspot.com/
reason why i know you and i could be friends IRL: “I might stop pushing children down on the streets” – haha, love it!
that skirt is full and beautiful!
Gorgeous! Love all the pattern combinations.
I must thank you, you have now successfully ousted ‘Under the Sea’ from my head. I’ve been waiting a while for that 🙂
And I find you can push as many children as you like, as long as you keep up a ladylike appearance. Just keep a low profile 😉
http://yoursistheonlyocean.blogspot.com/
I must thank you, you’ve succesfully ousted ‘Last Friday Night’ in favour of Shania Twain. I’ve been waiting for that!
And I find that you can as push as many children as you like, as long as you wear ladylike ensembles and don’t get caught 😉
http://yoursistheonlyocean.blogspot.com/
The photography on this post is awesome! Love the girly skirt on you, this outfit looks great! And thanks for putting this song in my head lol- nice to explain that one at work 😉
Wow Kendi! I’ve seen this skirt on other people but you make it look so good!! This outfit is perfection. And I love the photos, they’re beautiful.
Complex Cardigans
Love the top and such a summery skirt!
I can see why you’d love this. Fabulous, feminine, flattering and wow does it make you look elegant. Classy girl, classy !
I usually don’t comment and just stalk you silently, but this outfit is too great to NOT say something. that skirt fits you like a dream and it’s so bright and pretty! Such a great steal on that thrifted top, holy crap. you look lovely as always Kendi!
p.s. I may or may not have had a dream that we did a blogger meet-up in real life and became BFF’s. 🙂
Ha! I have dreams about meeting bloggers all the time, it’s totally legit.
Thanks for the love on the outfit 🙂
All I can say is: pretty.
amazing skirt Kendi and cool photos I really like the wide angle shot it is great! And yes thanks for putting that sing into my head *Shakes Head*

I love this outfit, so far I must agree its my favourite too, suits the setting very well also!
oh, hello my favorite outfit ever!
you are mixing stripes, patterns, and polka dots like a crazy woman! i don’t know if i could pull it off. sometimes i do this at home and when i go downstairs to show it off, it get sent back up 🙁
I absolutely love that skirt! The pattern is gorgeous! (And I also love your Shania Twain reference. 🙂 I used to listen to her CD 24/7 when I was in elementary/middle school).
I’m a (usually) silent reader but had to thank you for this one – I have that skirt and the only thing I love it with so far is a navy tee, red lips and tan heels…. I LOVE this look and it’s gotten me thinking of more creative ways to wear this skirt (that I’m so very in love with – gah, more than anything I’ve ever owned, it’s perfection).
Not sure if these are brand new pieces, but if not, don’t you love it when you find a brand new outfit amongst clothes you’ve had forever!? That’s my favorite!
http://longenecker-storyshort.blogspot.com/
My shoes aren’t but my skirt is!! And yes, I love when that happens. You feel like you’ve hit a goldmine.
I have this skirt, but I have never worn it I LOVE it on you, and am a little jealous that it looks so fabulous on you. You look great!
such a pretty and feminine outfit!! i love the skirt and those wedges are so cute!!

You are hilarious. If we lived near one another, I might hunt you down and make you be my friend.
Gorgeous skirt! Anthro is just the best….especially when they are having a sale.

I love that anthro skirt! It looks fantastic on you. This outfit is definitely very lady like. 1950's but modern.
http://www.postgradchic.blogspot.com
What’s so wrong with pushing kids?
Love this look with the dots and flowers and stripes, oh my! But btw, you aren’t a lady until you shave your legs regularly. At least when wearing a skirt. 😉
{mommy chic} design. style. kids. life.
The colors to that skirt is amazing!!! Love everything about your outfit, I’m noticing the details of the belt and loving it too! – Mar

I adore this outfit post. You look beautiful. The mix of patterns keep it modern, but the structure of the skirt makes it timeless. I think this is my favorite outfit post so far!
Oh and yes, Shania will be stuck in my head now! My mom was a HUGE Shania Twain fan when I was younger and I have to admit I couldn’t help but to sing along 🙂

I follow your blog everyday but usually don’t comment. However I felt like I had to tell you about a coincidence. For the past two days I have worn one of the same items you have been wearing — first the striped tee and now this skirt! I loved wearing both of them too, especially this skirt. I couldn’t resist the temptation to twirl a little in it… 🙂
Great look! I love every aspect!!
http://mythriftychic.blogspot.com/2011/08/bohemian-rapture.html

The skirt is absolutely beautiful! I love the colours and the shape of it, I need to visit Anthropology more often! I am always impressed with how you find things that are thrifted…and put together such amazing outfits! Your pictures are fantastic so it just gives it the extra edge to make it look editorial!
I do not know what I enjoyed more, your written post, your outfit or your “about me” section…you made me laugh!
all i can say is a round of applause to you, to your baby girlie blog and your outfit!! yey!!

I loooooove this combo! That skirt is gorgeous.
Everything about this outfit is awesome. How many prints did you mix? So great!
Adorable. Love your new photo shoot location, too.
That skirt is STUNNING! I just love higher waist skirts that are knee length! I totally get what you mean, I always feel more ladylike in these skirts and tend to be more elegant. haha I’ve been stuck reading your blog! 🙂 Love it.

Mad about the skirt! Before I noticed the skirt was from Anthro I thought that your look (background included) looked like it belonged in their catalog. So adorable!!
you do colour & prints so well! also love this location for photos, looks like an editorial from a cute magazine x

Young woman, you are so SUBLIME even if this pretty skirt tries to make us forget this shining reality.
