Copycat Throwback Thursday

I have been SAVING this copycat post for just such an occasion as this.  The occasion being that I worked all week and haven't shot any new copycat photos.  Plus, its Kendi and who doesn't love Kendi?


Link to her original post here....

What struck me first about her outfit was of course, the shoes!  Killer, amirite?  But I stepped back and noticed the lace top paired with what looks possibly like a leather jacket and thought to myself that I have everything in my closet to recreate this look--minus the shoes and the pop of color scarf.  So, you know, the important things that make the outfit.  Anyhoo, here is where I landed.



Because I didn't have those pops of color, I purposely chose to stay all in basics and I like the end effect.  On a side note...those booties hurt like Hades and I will not wear them to anything more than a sit down dinner!  LOL.  Good thing I didn't pay a whole lot for them.

XO,
Alyssa

    Oh, I love Kendi! And I love your interpretation too. I love the black on black on black, it's one of my favorite looks to wear because of how slimming it is.

    You look great, yet again, friend! xo

    Kendi should copy your version to, and if she don't, I will! You look fab!

      Hey, no problem Monica! I read your blog regularly, but only have time to comment occasionally! Must be nice to have a handy husband. Mine prefers to pay someone else to do the work!! ;o)

    Yes, you did pull that off well. The necklace is a nice switch for the scarf. And I have a co-dependent relationship with a pair of killer booties too! (=. Lynaea @ EverydayBloom.com
