Peter Som For Kohl’s And WIN $100

Disclosure- This is a sponsored post from Mom Central.  I received a promotional item to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and honest.

It is finally spring! The chance to bust out my spring and summer wardrobe is here. I have been admiring the 2014 spring line of several designers, plotting my new additions and I have fallen in love with a few items in Kohl’s Spring Collection from Peter Som for Design Nation. I love that each piece was designed with the confident and elegant woman in mind.

Peter Som’s sketches are no nonsense and can be made into a stunning yet simple dress. I love that he mixes classic lines and feminine colors for a fresh look that reminds me of a sunny carefree day.

I have had my eye on this fit and flare dress. It is elegant, classy and modest. I am a sucker for stripes… if you didn’t catch that already, and I love that I could wear sandals or heels with this dress depending upon the occasion.  Yes, I totally bought it at the presale.  If you check out my last post, you can see some photos of me in my new, fun, colorful dress.  (It’s now available, buy it online or in stores.)
