l to the c

lauren conrad's new clothing line for spring has just hit kohl stores. i have visited kohls before and seen her other lines but have not had a chance to visit lately. honestly, i was extremely disappointed the first time i saw her clothes so i am interested to see what these items look like in person. i have always thought that she had great style in her personal life and was surprised to see some of the choices she made in her previous clothing lines. what do you think, will you be shopping?

okay, so maybe i am being a bit unrealistic

because i am loving the practicality of this green dress, i decided to show another way to wear this look. this option happens to be a bit more expensive. i would never spend $500+ on a necklace and jacket. well, maybe i would. but this option is seriously so, so, so, so fabulous.
