Shop Kohl’s For Summer! $100 #Giveaway

Summer arrived early in the Seattle area!  This weekend we celebrated my son’s 6th birthday with a last minute OUTDOOR party. It’s usually raining on his birthday so once we knew the weather was going to hold up we scrambled to find a pool and slip n slide in stock.

Then we realized the kids didn’t have new swimsuits for summer.  And while I wasn’t about to strip down to my bathing suit during the party, I’m not beyond joining my kids in the fun on a hot day….and I haven’t had a new swimsuit since I went to Hawaii when I was 20!  So I headed to Kohl’s hoping to find a cute and comfortable swimsuit.  Not really an easy task for me since I would prefer a one-piece but they usually don’t fit right.

I started off with this cute one-piece, hoping against hope that it would work for me.  I loved the rouching  over the tummy area to hide small flaws and the ruffle around the top, perfect for smaller breasts.  No such luck though — I’m too tall for a one piece and this suit didn’t fit comfortably.

 

Next I tried this tankini top. I liked the black & white pattern but this one just didn’t work for me either. I love that there are so many mix and match options at Kohl’s.  I picked one cute pair of black bikini bottoms that worked great with all of the other tops I liked.

Here are the other two tops I tried along with the black bottoms.  Even though brights aren’t really my thing, I ended up liking the pink top best.  It was the most comfortable and had the tummy rouching that I liked from the one-piece.  Best of all, most of the swimsuits were 40% off, plus I had a 15% off $100 coupon which meant I got to do some other shopping while I was there!

I don’t have a ton of fashion sense and keep things pretty simple but I loved the advice from a Kohl’s video I saw — White capris are a key piece I can dress up or down!

This pair of white capris was only $24.99 and I liked they way they fit.  They had quite a bit of stretch to them too, making them super comfy!  You can cuff them at the bottom or leave them alone!  They’re perfect with a bright colored tee and a pretty necklace or with a dressier top and some heels.  These pants are so versatile, they’re definitely a must-have summer staple!

If you’re shopping in-store be sure to log-in to Kohl’s free wi-fi  on your mobile phone if it’s available.  I got a $5 off $25 coupon!
