Kohl's reviews: LC, JLO & R&R

I went to Kohl's the other day to return a few things and saw some great spring clothes. I also noticed they had a section for Rock & Republic which had me really excited. I decided to try a few things on and do some reviews for them. There were a ton of other things I wanted to try on but I didn't have enough time.

LC cutout chiffon overlay top - $40.00

I have seen these cutout tops everywhere and this one looked promising but....eh. I think it's the color. It totally washes me out. There's a gray version online that I do like, however I still don't think I'm sold on the cutout sleeves.

LC lace poncho top set - $44.00

I actually really liked this. It's got a bit of a hi-low hem. I do wish the front came down a tad lower though. It also has an attached cami which is nice. I could definitely see myself wearing this with some denim cutoffs or jeans for a dressier look.

Rock and Republic embellished tee - $48.00

I didn't think I would actually like this top but turns out it was my favorite of the day. They didn't have a Medium so I got a Large which still fit alright. It's supposed to be a baggy fit. I might actually go back and pick this up. I think the fit was flattering and perfect for casual comfy days.

R&R Embellished Tank - $48.00

When I first saw this online I immediately gravitated towards the gold one. But when I saw these side by side in the store, the gold sequins looked more matter while the silver (above) were more sparkly. This ended up being more fitted than I thought and I could probably take a Large but I still really liked this.

R&R lurex striped tunic sweater - $68.00

As you can see from the website this is supposed to be a tunic. Which means I guess I should have gone a size or two up? I couldn't figure this thing out in the store so I just wore it scrunched up which I suppose could also work. I don't think I'd buy this even though it was pretty comfortable. I'm just not feeling it.

R&R crochet linen sweater - $60.00

I would have expected this sweater to be by LC or JLO, not mixed in with R&R studs and sequins. But I like it. It's a great way to wear a sweater in the middle of summer. As you can see it's got another hi-low hem thing. I might go back and get this if it goes on sale. 

JLO embellished peasant top and camisole set - $54.00

Wow. I really liked this. I loved the billowy sleeves and the embellishment. A few problems. I wish the bottom came down lower and/or flared out a bit. Also, when I was trying this on, I noticed that one of the little sequins had popped off onto the floor. Not good! Because I would have totally bought this.

JLO embellished shirred tank - $48.00

I really loved the color of this. Great for spring/summer. Would look even better if I was tan :(

Definitely needs a cami or nude strapless bra underneath if you're not wearing a jacket over it.

Apt 9 eyelit twill trench - $96.00

As you can see, I've saved the best for last! It was love at first sight with this jacket. If I have some Kohl's coupons, I might go ahead and get it. It's on sale online for under $60. How can I NOT get it?!

If I go back and try on more things I'll definitely do some more reviews. They had so many cute, new things that it's definitely worth going back! Oh and you seriously need to go to your local Kohl's a check out the shoe section. Especially Vera Wang and Rock and Republic. Holy wow! That's all I'm going to say .

Reviews: Kohl's - LC, apt 9, Chaps

Hey everyone! It's gorgeous day here. The sun is shining (oh how I've missed you!) and the temps actually got above 30 degees! Woo-hoo! And by Thursday it's going to be 60! Do you believe it? I don't. Our first glimpse of Spring. Awesome. Today I had some returns at Kohl's and while I was there I decided to check out some new clothes. I do a lot of my Kohl's shopping online and I don't get to try things on before buying which has lead to many returns. So I took advantage and tried on several things from Lauren Conrad's line as well as Apt 9 & Chaps. This is going to be long post, so let's just get to it shall we?

First up is my outfit of the day.

Shirt: Target here

Jeans: LC for Kohl's here

Shoes: Merona this year's version

Crochet Banded Bottom Top

I actually liked this more than I thought I would. I love the color. I'm not usually a fan of banded bottoms. I feel that sometimes they make you appear larger than you are. Overall I really liked this. I don't know if I'll actually buy it since there are things closer to the top of my wishlist right now.

I love the back!

Floral Chiffon Top

Another surprise! I actually loved this and will probably end up getting it once I get a 15% or 20% off coupon (love those!). You definitely need a cami under this! I just realized you can totally see my belly button. oops. I think this looks great with skinny jeans and I love how it's flowy but doesn't make me look pregnant. 

Slubbed Open Front Cardigan

Love! I actually bought this one. It was super comfortable and will be a great layering piece for spring & summer. 

Floral Ruffle Blouse

Ugh. Sorry for the horrible photo. Obviously this is NOT a flattering fit on me. I almost instantly bought this when it popped up online because LC made it look so cute. But unfortunately, LC and I are not the same size or even same shape. It is a beautiful shirt though. Excellent quality. If it works for you then get it!

Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket

I really wanted to like this. I just don't think cropped jackets work for me. Maybe if it was a couple inches longer. Also, I'm not sure about the color on me. I feel as though it washes me out. It looks gorgeous on LC in the product picture. I think this would work better on blondes. 

Pointelle Open Front Cardigan

I'm sort of on the fence with this one. I love the color and the open weave. I think it'd be a great beach cover-up or something. I'm just not sure if the sleeves hit right on me. I don't know. Something's off but I'm not sure what. I might reconsider it if it goes on super sale.

Same blouse from above in a different color.Still looks bad on me :(

Pointelle Boyfriend Cardigan

Can I just say OMG I loved this! I almost bought this one too but I'm going to wait. It only comes in this color and gray. I don't need another gray sweater and I'm not sure if I have a lot of things that would go with the blue color. I highly recommend this cardigan!

Embellished Open Front Cardigan

This is another one I'm glad I didn't but right away. I do like it. I just wish it was a bit longer. I do like how the sequins are more subdued and not all in your face.  

Pointelle Open Front Cardigan

Ordered this online as soon as I got home! I never thought this color would work for me but I was pleasantly surprised. It also comes in gray which they didn't have in the store but looks great online. But like I said, I don't need another gray cardigan. This color looks more spring-y I think and I can see it going with a lot in my closet. 

Floral Ruffle Chiffon Dress

Sorry but I totally didn't feel like taking off my jeans. I really liked this dress. It comes with a slip which is nice. The sleeves aren't the most flattering on me but once I get my arms into shape I think it would be fine. If not, that's why they made cardigans. Oh and this definitely needs a belt. I love the one LC's wearing. 

Chaps Sagamore Striped Hooded Top

I am crazy for anything nautical inspired so obviously I was drawn to this top. I really wanted to love it and take it home with me....but I mean. Just look. It's too short (for me anyway) and it has side pockets that stick out and make me look weird(er). *sigh* The search continues for the perfect nautical top. 

See from the side I look normal! Why, Chaps, why?! Who needs side pockets on a shirt?!

Apt 9 Crochet Slubbed Top

I really liked this one! I would have bought it except they're doing a sale right now Buy One Get One Free. Thing is, this is $36. I mean I love this top and all but not for almost $40. And I didn't like any other colors to get my free shirt. Have to wait for sale or coupon!

Apt 9 Lace Top

I couldn't find this online. This is another one I wanted to like but I just really don't like the feel of lace on my skin. It felt itchy and I couldn't wait to take it off. But if it's not something that bothers you, I highly recommend this top. I guess I'll have to find some other way to try the lace trend. 

ELLE Smocked Open-Front Cardigan

This is really cute. I love the flower and I love pink and gray together. Sadly I just don't like to tie my open cardigans so this doesn't work for me. Looks great on the model though! And comes in 2 other colors. 

Axcess Slubbed Open Front Cardigan

This is kind of a bad picture. I had to try it one with the lace top (because I forgot to grab a plain shirt to try under cardigans. Fail) and it was a little bulky. I do kind of like this though. The color shows up much lighter online and honestly I wish it was closer to that color than this IRL olive color. I do love olive but I already have a few olive cardigans and was hoping this one would be more of the celery color online. Oh. Well. 

Wide Leg Trouser Jeans

I really liked these! They would definitely need to be hemmed. But I think these would look great with some wedges and a flowy top or a button up. 

Whew! That was a lot of stuff to try on. I'm surprised I tired all that stuff on since I'm not a fan of dressing rooms and trying stuff on. I was reminded of this about halfway through trying on shirts when the static cling started and my hair was all crazy.

I can't wait for more spring styles to arrive. Also, LC has started designing shoes! So far I like what I see. Especially which are going fast!  I'm highly considering buying them but I need to wait for a really big discount coupon. I just can't justify them at this time, but I am getting a little nervous because there's only 3 sizes left! What's a girl to do?!
