Peter Som for Kohl’s Must Have Staples + $100 Giveaway

* I have been provided compensation to facilitate this post via the Kohl’s Ambassador Campaign. All opinions are mine. You already know!!*

Sadly this is my last post for the Kohl’s /Peter Som ambassador campaign. I hope you’ve enjoyed my outfit pictures and gotten a good idea of the amazing fashion at affordable pricing that Kohl’s has to offer.

This week I picked up two last items and while I could’ve gone crazy I stuck with the basics. Basics should never be underestimated, as they are the blank canvas that gives our accessories and statement pieces the arena to shine.

I couldn’t leave without picking up the white Moto jacket. It is everything on. I’ll admit on the hanger I wasn’t impressed but I’m sure glad I tried it on. The fabric is perfect to cover your arms at the movies or for a walk on the beach at night. I thought it had a lot of potential and I’ve dressed it three different ways.

With the whole talk that it is okay to wear white year round, while not totally on board with this new fashion rule in the event I feel the need to run full speed to catch that train this jacket is my ticket.

I think the gold accents on the jacket are just enough to subtlety add a little bling for people like me who like to keep it classic and simple.

Shop the entire collection online and if you didn’t have any luck winning the contest last week you’re in for a treat. I’m hosting another giveaway this week for another $100 Kohl’s Gift Card!!

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.

The full Peter Som Collection is available online and I am happy to give one of you the opportunity to win a $100 Gift Card.

US Residents only! Giveaway runs for one week. Good Luck

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.

Sweater: Amerian Eagle Outfitters Jeans: Thrifted Bracelets: Gifted Bag: Miche Shoes: Tory Burch Sunnies: Chloé

Necklace: Abby & Co

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.

You will be seeing a ton of this purse this summer. Everything including the color is perfect for summer and great for my on the go lifestyle.

Miche {pronounced MEE-CHEE} is a global accessories brand that offers purses and jewelry. Check out Miche online on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to see more of their product offerings and how to order products. They have a little something of everything, for every taste.

Are you a big bag girl, or a tiny tote lover?

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.

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.

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

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

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?
