Peter Som for Kohl’s in Stores Now + $100 Gift Card Giveaway

* I was provided compensation to facilitate this post as a Kohl’s Fashion Ambassador. All opinions are mine. You already know*

I’m not a big online shopper and one of the prominent reasons is I have a hard time imagining what a fabric might feel like or actually look like when I have it in hand. I’ve had to return one too many items because at some point my  thoughts on what I should receive and what I actually got somehow got lost in translation.

I said all of that to say I didn’t have any particular expectations for the Peter Som collection. I knew there were quite a few pieces that I’d seen online that caught my eye but I wasn’t sure if the photos would translate into real life. Oh, but they did. I was impressed with the fabrics and how easily the separate pieces mixed and matched with one another.

Before I knew it I was headed to the fitting room with nearly one of every pre-sale item.

I took an Instagram and Facebook poll on these dresses and it was tied. I did end up purchasing the colored one but upon getting home I’ve decided to possibly replace it with another item.

I was hoping this set was available during the pre-sale but it wasn’t. I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on this. Can’t. WAIT. Y’all should know by now I’m all about fashion and function. I need these pieces to serve multiple purposes and this set here is just my style.

While I had a bit of a miss with the dress I did pick up these very versatile pants. I purchased them because I knew they would look just as good with flip flops as they would with heels. I actually wore them to my son’s piano recital on Sunday.

Outfit of the Day: Miche Edition

5lbs is approximately the weight of my purse, on any given day. I love a big bag, the bigger the bag the more capacity to carry a bunch of junk, receipts from Christmas shopping and an old Yoohoo drink box.

Recently I’ve been getting a little tired of carrying around my big purse especially when I am out and about with the children. I just need the necessities in something that is light and easy to wear that leaves my hands free to you know, Instagram, Tweet, etc.

We took a trip today to LEGOLand and my new Miche bag came in handy.

I simply tossed the necessities and my cell phone into the slots provided and kept it moving. It was a bit of a zipper tug of war to get my lipgloss to fit but no worries, I got it zipped.

I love this bag. It is of excellent quality, the material is faux leather and comes with a removable strap in the event you wish to carry it as a clutch.

Fashion Mama Style Summer

Dress Shopping with Kohl’s

*Screaming* Spring is finally here!

The weather  finally broke here in Georgia and I am crossing my fingers that we have seen the last of  freezing temperatures for awhile. Now is that awkward time in your wardrobe life where you aren’t quite ready to pull out your summer clothing but it’s too warm for your winter things. Kind of like that pregnancy phase where you are too small for maternity but too big for regular clothes. Feel me?

Dresses are a great way to combat this wardrobe tight rope walk. Putting on a dress and layering it with a jacket or throwing on a pair of tights underneath are great options to start bringing a little Spring and Summer into your wardrobe. Little peeks, like those budding bushes are just enough to keep you anxious for consistently warmer days.

I took a trip to Kohl’s recently and again they did not disappoint when it came to a great selection of dresses to start the Spring wardrobe transition. From maxi dresses to party dresses I was impressed. Not only was I impressed, I wanted ALL of the dresses.

Kohl's Apt. 9 Dress

Since I couldn’t have ALL of the dresses, I chose 2 dresses that I thought would have potential for me to style in different ways. That’s layman terms for I wanted to be able to get every bang for the buck out of the dresses I selected. I wanted them to be able to transform from playdate casual to date night fab.

My first selection was this coral maxi dress. Yesssss! I loved the color immediately on my skin tone. Unfortunately I won’t be wearing it without my Spanx but I know I’m not alone in the battle of the belly bulge.

Play date casual, quick run to the grocery store, run an errand is what I call this look.

Kohl's

A Day at the beach, my hair isn’t up for lookers, and lunch with the homegirls. I have options with this one.

Kohl's

I only have date night on this one. Nothing too fancy, just a little night out on the town.

I rarely go with short dresses, so I took a walk on the wild side and picked up this to the knee number. I think I am loving Coral this season.

Night out with the girls, date night, a wedding….

Take me to church with my pearls on…or somewhere where the AKAs are.

Playdate, lunch with the girls, a day of shopping…again options

Kohl's Apt. 9 Dress

Dresses are certainly an easy way to look fab instantly. Add a few accessories a headwrap and some shoes and you are out the door.

For those of you that follow me on Instagram…I did say yes to this dress. I just need that real good pair of Spanx to rock this one. You’ll see it again soon. I promise!

Are you a dress girl? Will you take my advice and take a walk on the wild side and show a ‘lil leg this season? Are you a maxi dress girl or do you prefer short and sexy?

As a fashion, and budget conscious mother I like to purchase items that have the ability to be dressed up or dressed down. I have styled three of the pieces from the Peter Som collection  I was sent with pieces from my own wardrobe to give you an idea of how you could easily make these fabulous pieces work for day or night.

Adding a statement necklace or a flat shoe is just enough to make these pieces versatile and styling and great options for women on the go to look easily stylish with just a few accessories.

Are you ready for Spring fashion? Which of these three pieces are something that you could potentially purchase?
