Shiny Little Things

I remember when Vera Wang first introduced her collection for Kohls stores.  It was a pretty big deal.  I suppose I assumed that it would be a short-lived collaboration, but actually, there are new items each season.  I have made semi-regular appearances at Kohls to see the new wares and I’ve found that many of the garments are quite voluminous and probably tend to look best on the very thin.  They’re the types of items that lure you in because they look so cozy and comfortable.  They are generally made from soft, touchable fabrics and they’re full of interesting details.  I have purchase a few items that I mostly wear to work. 

So, this week as I was traipsing through Kohls in the pursuit of the perfect black, low cut bra for the generously endowed - a task that is not only impossible, but odious - I was distracted by the new and beautiful Vera section.  Have you noticed that every time you go in that store, every single thing is on sale?  Why don’t they just lower the prices?  Oh yeah, because they like their jedi mind tricks.  Anyhoo, I spotted this adorable sort of painterly-esque, gray and cream “grafitti print” skirt with a bunch-y/ruched-ish waist band and POCKETS!  I know it doesn’t look that great in this picture, but it is seriously so cute.  I tried it on and it was a great fit. 

I’m wearing it today with a black tank tucked in, it does kind of a higher waist thing and then it has a slight tulip shape.  I wore a black cardigan and magenta patent peep toe heels from DSW.  I think it’s really cute and I wish I had an actual photo to share, but I don’t.  Maybe you can get the idea from this:

Oh, and I didn’t find a bra.  Oops!
