I am thinking of renaming this blog "Parade of the Kickass Kohls Dresses". Seriously, I hit the motherlode there on Tuesday. I am still reeling from the sweetness of my St. Paddy Day's dress, and then this one is just plain cool. Love the colors (greys and pinks and purples), the geometric pattern, and then the fun fuschia border at the hem and waist. SO FUN.
The shape of these are perfect for *my* shape; my narrowest part is high, just under my ribcage where the waist detail is, and then the knit fabric flows out nicely covering up any errant lumps. I feel like I should feel guilty for buying so many similar dresses, but...you know, when you find a pair of pants that flatter your dupa, don't you try to buy others just like them? Maybe it's the same thing with dresses; they don't all have to be different styles.
Anyway! I wore a grey layering tee under it because we haven't leapt into short-sleeve weather overnight, and added black tights and grey patent booties. Aaaaand then my awesome Target moto jacket.
I was in a training class all day with a random group of employees, and there was a younger good-looking guy there (ha, younger, probably in his 30s) who, I'm just gonna say it, could not stop staring at me. Every time he thought he could get away with it, he did -- and I busted him every time. Yeah, dude, check ME out. HEE!
These Kohls dresses are magical. Magical!
That is a smashing dress. Sometime I also wonder about if it's good to choose my dresses all in the same shape, but I guess i it works, why not?
ReplyDeleteThe all outfit was killer so the guy had no choice but to check you out :)
You totally hit the motherlode, and pixels are perfect for someone in your line of work.
ReplyDeleteYoung guy knows a beautiful woman when he sees one. Let him dream.
ReplyDeleteI was in Talbots and all the sales ladies dressed like you. (They must read your blog for ideas.) Most had the open cardigan or jacket with the thin belt to pull it all together. I thought I was walking around in your blog.
You guys are too funny! I did not even make the pixel connection, Jane. Splurge, I am laughing so hard at that last line! I actually haven't shopped at Talbots for years; they stopped making a good variety of suits, and nothing else really works for me there. But I keep wandering through, ever hopeful.
ReplyDeleteKristen as a beginner when it comes to this whole "style" thing, you are such an inspiration - I just adore everything you wear!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that young guy certainly knows a good thing when he sees it! (Now do you want to send him to Aus for me LOL)
Ooh, I love the length on that dress. You're right, many of my dresses are the same cut and style, too. I try to vary it, but I think we all gravitate toward what works for us.

Yeay for being totally stare worthy. This is a great outfit. I love the colors on the dress!
ReplyDeleteI gave you a blog award. Pop over to cohabitatingcloset to "get" it.
Great dress!
ReplyDeleteThe empire cut is indeed magical on you!
ReplyDeletejust found you last week. Congratulations on your life-changing successes!!! Had to tell you--your new dresses and the way you style them (dress with the moto jacket!) rock -- and you always look current, chic, and classy! And although they may be the same style, it is not noticeable--not with the different patterns and with your accessories. Fab-U-beau-tee-ful!!
ReplyDeleteAw! That's just adorable! Rock out with your cute dresses!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable! You also remind me of SNL's Kristen Wiig too. And the guy couldn't help himself, you look so cute. ;)
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWow I wish we had a Kohl's here. Dresses are AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteThis dress is gorgeous! I love the pattern and colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is so chic and put together looking! Man, why doesn't my Kohl's ever carry these kickass dresses? It seems like everything here is black and white!
ReplyDeleteI keep lusting after these Franco Sarto shoes!
