Kohl's Spring: Floral Love

This spring, anything with bold colors really seem to catch my eye. I love this Jennifer Lopez Mixed Media top at Kohl's that mixes a silky floral patterned front with a gray soft jersey fabric in the back so it feels like a t-shirt. The contrast of the two fabrics works so well to make this top a casual yet stylish piece. I can’t say how much I adore the Jennifer Lopez line at Kohl’s. She’s got a great eye on trends and she always adds her own special touch to it.

I paired the top with a pair of stretchy Simply Vera Vera Wang Straight-Leg Twill Crop Pants, a nice neutral base so that the colors of the top really stand out. The pants have the comfort of leggings with its rayon/spandex mix but what’s great is that it looks like a dress pant. I especially love the details in the pants and the seam down the front of the legs. These are the perfect pair of black pants and I can’t believe what a great deal they were.

I've been coveting a pair of platform heels but can’t justify spending tons of money on them because I don’t wear heels often. This is why I am so happy I found these LC Lauren Conrad Platform High Heels. They give me some great height with an extra 4 1/2 inches and really dress up the entire outfit. I was surprised at how affordable they were. The soft suede-like material and the classic black color make these pumps look top notch. I also found these heels to be really comfortable as the platform hides special cushioning in the shoe. Perfect look for a date night out! To give this look a day spin, just pair it with sandals or ballet flats.

If you’re looking for a spring refresh to your wardrobe take a visit to your nearest Kohl’s. I am constantly surprising all of my friends with my stylish outfits from Kohl’s with these posts. It’s fantastic that each outfit is so budget-friendly! You can easily pick up key trend pieces for spring and pair them with other basics in your wardrobe.

Kohl's Spring: The Perfect White T-Shirt to Wear with Bold Colors

This time for my shopping trip to Kohl's, I wanted to create a feminine and fun look that would be a perfect day outfit for spring – something that works for a lunch out, a shower, graduation, or an afternoon on the town. Fashion staples are an important part of every gal's wardrobe and one everyone must have is the basic white t-shirt. I found the perfect one that mixes classic with a feminine touch, which became the foundation for this entire outfit.

The Jennifer Lopez Twisted Chiffon-Trim Top with the chiffon neckline makes it oh so different and turns a simple t-shirt into a stylish top. I paired it with a kelly green Elle Accordion-Pleat Skirt, which brings this outfit it's fun burst of color and gives it a very flirty and feminine touch. What’s great is that the pleated chiffon skirt already comes with a yellow belt and also is lined.

The top and skirt are perfect on their own but spring days can be breezy so to give it all an extra boost of color-block fun, I chose to add the Simply Vera Vera Wang Mixed-Media Colorblock Cardigan. This cardigan has that perfect yellow that instantly puts me in a happy mood. I really can't stop wearing this sweater and have paired this look also with jeans and white pants. Anything works with it! On my feet are the most comfortable Apt 9 Ballet Wedges. I live for ballet flats and I love the height these wedges give me without skimping on the ballet-style comfort. This outfit feels like spring to me and the pleated skirt makes twirling so much fun!

Kohl's Spring: A Little Bit of Shine

My second outfit from my shopping trip at Kohl's is something I like to call beachy gold and follows the spring trend for shine. I wanted shine to work for day and created this outfit that would work for a casual lunch with a friend as well as a Saturday out with the family. The entire outfit is from the Jennifer Lopez collection with jewerly from Daisy Fuentes. I have since worn this outfit a few more times out and about and have gotten a lot of compliments on it. No one believes I got this entire look for around $100. In fact, two of my girlfriends have already bought it.

My look is currently featured on Kohl's! To find out more about each item and to see more photos, visit Kohl's Style File and click on my photo with the headline "A Little Bit of Shine".

Kohl's Spring: A Dash of Bold Color

I've been on a hunt lately to add to the bold color trend to my wardrobe. I've been obsessed with getting a pair of bright colored jeans. On a shopping trip to Kohl's a few days ago, I discovered to my surprise the Elle brand. (Yes Elle as in Elle Magazine!) The brand's style totally fit me and I loved the comfort and quality of the clothing. Right away, the Elle Cuffed Denim Capris in Raspberry called out to me. These pants are strechy (aka so comfy!) and I love the options of how you can also leave the cuffs up or roll them down for a regular length look. I am 5' 6" and the hem fit perfectly.

The Elle Polka Dot Peplum Top I'm wearing with it's perfect jersey material and flouncy tulip bottom, was made all the sweeter with a coral ribbon tie. (I also got a striped black and white one with a yellow ribbon tie. (I don't see them on the web site now so check your nearest Kohl's.) I know that these two tops, along with my new colored denim are going to be my staples this spring and summer.

The new trend in color is a good pick-me-up and a way to re-energize yourself, especially after this dreary winter weather. It's such an easy way to turn up the level of your style. I especially loved that I could get this trend on a budget with the deals at Kohl's. I got this entire outfit as well as the extra top for under $100. I received so many complements on my jeans the day I wore these everywhere I went. I am going to have to go back and pick up the cobalt blue ones too. Mix and match colors to help make them pop but don't go too far either. For instance, I kept my shoes to simple black flat. You wouldn't want to wear color-blocked shoes here since with the polka dot pattern and the colored pieces, it would just be too much. On the other hand, if you are scared of bold color, you can incorporate it simply. The polka dot top with coral ribbon tie would look so chic with a pair of black pants or jeans. It's all up to you to discover your own look and have fun playing around with this bold color trend.
