Gray Ladies

Gray is the “in” neutral for the season. Because it’s a neutral too, it’s great for basic pieces that will likely last longer in your wardrobe rotation than say, that cantaloupe colored trapeze dress. The grays vary from the matte to the silver gray. Here are some great “gray” finds for reasonable prices: Staring from the top left going clockwise: Striped Woven Top from Vera Wang’s “Simply Vera” collection at Kohl’s for $58.00. Women’s Cable Knit Sweater Hoodie from Old Navy for $29.50. H&M Jumper dress for $16.99. Gray Ribbed Tights from GAP for $12.50 or two for $10.00/each. Pinstripe Boyfit Trouser Pants from TopShop for £35.00. Corduroy Tote from Forever21 for $16.80. Daryn Peep-Toe Pump by Mossimo from Target for $19.99 (on sale)

Simply Vera

The Simply Vera Wang Collection is now available at Kohl’s. Try the stores, or try online. The pieces are not exactly cheap (which I define as under $30 for a shirt, but your mileage may vary) but they’re inexpensive for Vera Wang designs. Here are some of the pieces I like best from the collection: Purple ruffled blouse for $58.00 Woven beaded shell for $54.00 Biscotti Mary Jane Heels for $69.99 Overall, I have to say I feel kind of “meh” about the collection, but I also haven’t seen it in person and maybe what it’s good for is to get some nice, but inexpensive sorta lux basics for your wardrobe.
