Today I have a fantastic, honest, and funny episode of The Lively Show for you!

I'm talking with Kendi Skeen, the face behind the popular fashion blog, Kendi Everyday, and the owner of a boutique called Bloom in McKinney, Texas.

We are chatting about wardrobes, where to spend your clothing budget, how to remix your wardrobe, and her career and business transitions.

Kendi has gone from a full-time job, to running her blog full-time, to opening a store, and recently to closing that store.

In this episode she shares candidly what she did right, what she did wrong, and what she's learned from this experience. Plus, she's sharing what she's working on next.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to improve their wardrobe, handle career transitions better, or start (and close) a business.
