{Betsey Johnson Dress, H&M Belt, Jessica Simpson Shoes, Tommy Hilfiger Tights, Forever 21 Sunglasses}
Blue skies are finally here again! With the 30 for 30 Challenge (finally) officially behind me, I jumped at the chance to inject some color back into my life. It felt SO GOOD! I scored this lovely Betsey Johnson dress for an additional half-off the current sale price and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. The skirt is really full and just makes me feel like twirling whenever I wear it… although I usually wait until I’m out of view from my co-workers before doing so.
I also scored these sky-high heels (seen on fashion bloggers all across the interwebs) for half-price as well. Sadly, I think they’re all sold out on the Jessica Simpson website (except for a size 5 in purple crushed velvet), but I posted a link above to Macy’s where they still have them at full price. With a 5.8 inch heel, these shoes put me over 6 feet tall! I admit, it makes me feel a little freakish to tower over everyone on a crowded NYC subway, but they’re totally walkable because of the super-thick platform sole.
And yes… I also got them in black. Like I told you guys before, I have a really bad habit of buying things in multiples.
i love Betsey Johnson’s clothes!! they’re always so colorful and fun. good work for getting this one at a good deal. and those purple tights are amazing. 🙂
cute & little
wow this outfit is phenomenal. The dress, in particular is amazing! I could barely take my eyes off it to enjoy your amazing background! Great photos and amazing outfit! You lucky duck, what a score with that dress!
Love all the purple in this outfit – you look fantastic!!!
What fun!! This is such a fun outfit, and I love your gorgeous smile! It’s the perfect accessory 🙂
This outfit is so celebratory — you are obviously thrilled to be done with the challenge!
Totally thrilled! I enjoyed the challenge, but I missed the rest of my closet.
great shoes, tights, and belt 🙂 such a fun outfit, you look verrry happy
Beautiful dress!! I love the colours and the shoes! Congrats on finishing the challenge 🙂
Keep smiling!
i’m seriously seeing this shoes everywhere. and for good reason. they are awesome and no exception on you. love the dress, love the purple tights. you are darling!
This is such a pretty dress. Prepared for spring are we? 🙂
I LOVE towering over people in crowds! I’m not sure why it gives me so much satisfaction. Probably something psychological to that, but I feel most comfortable when I’m the tallest person around. I’m loving the purple on you! Its a perfect spring transition look.
That dress is so sweet and fun. What a score!
HEY, this is great outfit …
so SPRING, so happy and colorful 🙂
LOVE IT
great location as well

Yes, spring is one of my favorite season’s fashion-wise. I can’t wait to fully unload all of my colorful frocks!
I think I just squealed when I saw that first photo of you in that gorgeous dress and colors and shoes. Love it, classic Kendra and fabulous!
I squealed a little too when I put this outfit on. 🙂
Yeah, there are some definite psychological advantages to being the tallest person around, lol!
Ready, set, and revving to go! 🙂
They are pretty cool. I highly recommend them, especially if you can snag them on sale.
Awesome 70’s inspired outfit. These photos are great, loving that backdrop.
Hey, when you find something you like, why wouldn’t you buy it in multiples (spoken as a true enabler)? I’m a tall girl, too, and I really miss wearing towering heels and being even taller. As my return to city life approaches, I find myself daydreaming about my shoes (and the ones I have yet to buy!).
These colors look gorgeous on you! Love these pics – the background is beautiful!
I love the whole look! That dress with the belt and shoes, you rocked it! I love the purple tights with the Dany’s! I have a pair and I am already tall so I am an amazon with those shoes on. Again, great look.
besos,lynn
Wow, you look so good!
That dress is amazing! I’m totally in love with swirly dresses for spring (and always, really!)
Kendra you are a color queen. Also neutral queen. You just have a way with color/non-color, lol. LOVE THIS. And your new sky high’s!
Your dress is so so so cute and I love that you paired it with colorful tights as well! I’ve been lusting over those shoes in silver forever and I really regret not getting them when they first came out.
I love those Jessica Simpson shoes… so jealous of everyone who snagged them! hehe
Kendra, are those shoes comfortable? I’ve been eyeing them for quite some time but haven’t purchased for fear that they will inflict excruciating pain or I’d topple over because of the heel height. Let me know…my desire to purchase is overwhelming now that I see them on u =)

The purple tights and sunnies are winning.
I’m loving the purple and sky-high heels..you look gorgeous and you definitely know how to put colors together..well done 🙂
I’m new to your site and loving your style. I’m now following you and looking forward to us working on the Paper Doll Project together. Hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for stopping by! I’m looking forward to the paper doll project too!
Apologies for the delayed response! In relation to the heel height, they’re reasonably comfortable. The platform heel definitely makes it wearable, as opposed to if it were a regular 5 inch heel. If you’re pretty comfortable in heels already, I’d say go for it. Just avoid cobblestone, lol!
Great outfit! Those shoes are incredible!
