Off the Rack: Sonoma Summer Highlights at Kohl's + What I Bought Under $20

Kohl's summer higlights include this pretty pint top under $15 and white jeans under $20!
Gosh I have so much on my mind lately but I'll just jump right in and share my latest Kohl's buys instead! After Penelope's 2 month check-up, I stopped at Kohl's to treat myself to a little mom time and some summer shopping...because let's face it, those check-ups are more stressful for us than they are for our babes!



Reese Witherspoon's Barneys Cardigan and Patent Slingback Pumps Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon Barneys Cardigan Look for Less
If you're looking to spice up your everyday jeans and cardigan, take notes from Reese Witherspoon! It's all in the details and accessories here. Piping and fancy embellishments on this Barneys cardigan present a preppy and ladylike vibe, and patent leather pumps are definitely a step above your basic sneaker. Reese's pearl earrings and a small studded crossbody are tasteful pieces that bring the look together exceptionally well.



Pippa Middleton's Red Floral Wrap Dress and Wedge Espadrilles Look for Less

Pippa Middleton's Red Floral Wrap Dress Look for Less
The lovely Pippa Middleton goes a boho in a long floral red wrap dress by Ralph Lauren, summery wedge espadrilles, and a woven crossbody bag - and hers is actually affordable! We love the versatility of a dress like this; a simple shoe and handbag swap can take this from day to night, or lunch to wedding, or coffee date to church. Accessories are kept to a minimum, but a fedora is always the perfect shade-blocker for when a baseball cap will literally cramp your style...and it's a subtle way to match with your man, like she and husband James Matthews did, without looking corny!



Christie Brinkley's White One Shoulder Jumpsuit Look for Less

Christie Brinkely's One Shoulder Jumpsuit Look for Less
Christie Brinkley nails a date night or special occasion ensemble in her one shoulder Halston Heritage jumpsuit (priced at $445). We love that she mixed in just a tad of color with her statement ring and detailed clutch. Nude pumps are a safe but chic option with white and this hue can be tough to pull off, yet she does it beautifully and tastefully. Time to put a white one-piece on the "need" list! While $103 for a budget find is still fairly pricey, we think that for the right high-quality (aka good material and not see-through) piece that is appropriate for many events it's well worth it!
