Kohl’s Wink Of Pink Spring Line

March 16, 2014 by Samantha 6 Comments

Disclousure- I participated in an Ambassador program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohls. I received Kohls gift cards and sample pieces to facilitate my posts and as a thank you for participating.

After having my son, I (much more quickly then I thought I would have) lost my style. I went from having fun shopping and picking out my outfits, shoes, and accessories to just grabbing my track pants and t-shirts and going. Dude- they are totally clean, what’s wrong with that? Right? Yeah, right. Well, I don’t feel as good as I used to, for one. This year, I am trying to get my body and my style back, and trying to look more like ME and less like…well, like a schlump.

I was asked to be a Kohl’s Fashion Ambassador-for the next 6 weeks, I will be bringing you weekly posts about Kohls, their new line of St. Berth’s inspired fashion from Peter Som, videos, and amazing giveaways for you as well. We can learn to bring our sexy back together, and for less then you would think. I am all about making one piece work in multiple ways, and making style easy. I’m not an over-primper by any means, so this will be fun for me.
