For one their stuff is always on sale, (I'm starting to think it might be a gimmick, but it works) and on top of that they always email me 15% coupons. Sometimes I feel like those folks on that reality show, Extreme Couponing, when I hand them my coupons and I see total savings of $102.00!
They also give you Kohl's cash! You get $10 for every $50 you spend. I have literally walked out of Kohl's without having to spend a single dime of my own money using their cash program.
Buying clothes and shoes is great, but it's even greater when I pay little to nothing for them!
I wasn't always a Kohl's fan, just like I'm not a Forever 21 fan, but I'm the type of person who loves clothes so much that sometimes I walk into stores just to look at merchandise. (I know that sounds a little crazy, but I can't help it.)
And other times I get these severe itches to buy things just for the sake of shopping, and if I don't have the adequate resources to splurge at a department store or a boutique, I head out to these more affordable stores and buy something small to calm that irritable itch.
Last night I had to pass by Kohl's to return some stuff I bought for my trip without trying on that didn't really work for me and I swear I was hoping to be in and out. But I failed. I got distracted looking at the new Jennifer Lopez collection.
And folks, I was blown away! I loved so many pieces and I thought it was made with quality materials, even the faux fur jackets looked amazing.
I took pictures of some of my favorite items and I want to share them with you. I also encourage you to go check out the collection for yourselves and try on the pieces!
Jennifer Lopez has always been one of my favorite fashionistas in Hollywood. I can still recall that she was one the first woman, who made me feel okay and proud to be a big booty gal and rock curve hugging outfits. Thanks J. Lo!
Cowl neck shift dress
Fitted Trenchcoat
Despite living in Miami my entire life, I've always loved cold weather clothing such as trench coats, gloves and coats. I was immediately smitten when I saw this trench coat. It has shape, it has style yet it's super simple. This looks great on top of any outfit during the cool months.

There is probably no one who is as much of a sucker for anything leopard as me (well maybe the girls on Jerseylicious, but they take it overboard,) so of course this top made it as one of my faves!
The open back makes it sexy, and if you're from Miami you might want to opt removing the underneath cami and wear it with a black bra instead to show off some serious back cleavage!
White sheath dress
This is the most highlighted piece of the collection, I've seen it numerous times in the campaign ads and on Ms. Lopez herself and I think it's the epitome of chic.
It's white with gold details, and don't forget that white is a hot trend this fall. And yes, ladies you can absolutely wear white after Labor Day this year and every year.
The no white after Labor Day rule is a ridiculous and antiquated rule that was taken very seriously decades ago. There is no real explanation as to its origins, and until present day we only have theories, which range from people using white clothing to keep cool in the hot summer months, to rich snobs using it as an excuse to shun people from their social circles.
Coco Chanel was one of the first designers to make white, a year round color with her amazing two-piece suits, it looks like now J. Lo is following in her footsteps.
The Jennifer Lopez shoe collection display at Kohl's
Because of my time constraint, I wasn't able to spend as much time as I would've liked to looking over shoes and accessories, but I was able to capture this picture with my cell phone cam, which I got the stink eye from various employees, but I do what I have to do.
I wasn't too impressed with the shoes I did see, which might have something to do with my expectations not met. I loved her first shoe collection under the J Lo brand, which was sold at Macy's and I even still have a pair of espadrilles that garner a lot of attention whenever I wear them.
I think given the quality and look of this collection, the prices are great, but I also feel that the prices might be deemed as steep by others considering the overall lower price points at Kohl's.
Right now you can get 25% off the entire Jennifer Lopez collection and if you have coupons you can score some even greater deals.
Kohl's didn't forget the men. The store also launched the Marc Anthony Collection this month. The collection is inspired by the salsa singer's personal style.
The two collections were supposed to be launched collectively, mimicking the couple's real life marriage, but after the split this year, Kohl's decided to launch them independently.
I hope you guys enjoy my thoughts on this brand and store, and I hope you will tweet me pictures of any pieces you buy!
As always fashionably yours,
GTG!
