Kendall's look is cookie-cutter summer 2008, with its trendy sash belt and lace-trimmed leggings, but the color contrasting and chunky plastic bracelet are a "bodacious" throwback to the bright 1980s. What makes this outfit work for Kendall is that she has considered shapes and colors that flatter own personal beauty: Kendall has petite arms, so she bares them with a tube top, and her long torso is balanced by the black belt and matching leggings. The jewelry, too, shows Kendall's personality: she is a strong Christian, and so uses her funky pendant necklace to proudly display her beliefs. The key to Kendall's outfit is that it illustrates who she is and helps her to look her personal best, which is, of course, the best attribute any outfit can offer.
The eyepiece of Kendall's outfit is the bright Barbie pink of the top; because it is the color, not the cut, that makes the grade, any top that flatters your personal shape will work when Stealing Kendall's Style. Wet Seal stores and retail website offer many shirts in shades of bubblegum and flamingo this summer season, including the Side-Cinched Tube Top, which is close to Kendall's original while staying under $20, and the cute Ruffle-Trimmed Tiered Tank, which diverts from Kendall's outfit but would be more flattering to figures that are more muscular in the arms and shoulders than Kendall's thin frame. For a more demure look that could even be worn to work, school, or family functions like the Fourth of July, try a cute pink tee-shirt like the Surplice-Front Top, which features a dropped waist that will balance the width of the sash belt.
If you have a thin waist and small hips, like Kendall, a floppy pleather sash belt like the shorter model from JC Penney is a great wardrobe addition. It can be worn over most longer, brightly colored tops and has a cute almost Minnie Mouse look to its natural pleating. If $28 is a bit steep for your budget and you want to really shine, Target offers a metallic silver sash belt from Xhilaration for almost half that price. If, unlike Kendall, you have a "pear-" or "apple-shaped" figure, a thin belt worn lower around the hips would be a better balance to your torso than the wide belts suited to more narrow-hipped "celery" figures.
Leggings are hot hot hot this summer season! Kendall is wearing capri-length lace-trimmed leggings, like the super affordable Xhilaration Solid Lace Leggings (only $6.99!) sold at Target. For a different look, try ankle-length leggings like the 20" leggings from Wet Seal, or draw attention to muscled calves with Xhilaration's Ruched Leggings (also from Target). If you opted for a skinny belt rather than a sash belt, get the same fun floppy-bow look from Xhilaration's Tie Leggings!
The most important thing to consider when choosing shoes is comfort. If you are going to be standing for a long time, or have never worn heels before, either the sturdy American Eagle Starlet Espadrille Slides or Fiona Ballet Flats would be cute and offer your little piggies some respite. If you're up for a little extra flash for a little extra cash, Payless' exclusive Infrared Platform Pumps are totally retro-chick. To stick closer to Kendall's original look, Payless offers a Halden Hidden Platform Pump with a cute peeptoe and wide heel (helpful for balancing out on the grass at a barbecue!).

The best way to help your outfit make a splash is to really personalize your jewelry. Don't stick to copying the stars, go on out and find something that just screams you. Kitschy Couture offers cute vintage jewelry for reasonable prices and almost all of their pieces are one-of-a-kind... and D'Mae Designs has gorgeous handmade pieces that they'll happily customize to fit what you want. Another option, of course, is to make your own jewelry -- it's a good way to pass the time on a lazy summer afternoon when it's just too hot to venture outside! -- and it ensures that you get just what you're looking for in just the right size.

If you do want to stick close to Kendall's style, try browsing the racks at stores like Charlotte Russe, JC Penney, and Target.
