Simply Vera makes me wake up early

I've been eagerly awaiting the Kohl's Simply Vera collection for awhile. I almost forgot that it even debuted this weekend! Luckily I remembered the night before, but checking the website made me panic some more over the thought that maybe other girls were just as eager to snatch these pieces up. My beloved coat was already sold out in size S, so I told myself to get up on my normally lazy Sundays and arrive at Kohl's at its 10am opening.

10:15am, and I saw the parking lot was fairly empty. I entered the store and didn't see any girls running around the store. In fact, it took me a little bit to even find out where the collection was. I first searched for my coat, and found mediums and larges on the racks. A mannequin was right next to the rack, displaying the coat, and luckily it was a small. The material of the coat feels a little rough, but the style makes up for it. I think the black is a more elegant color, but the ash goes well with jeans for a nice daytime look. It's a nice, lightweight coat for fall. I would watch out if you're curvy in the hips. This coat will accentuate it.

I didn't find much else to lift off the rack, except for this dress. The store didn't have this print, but instead it came in black with a light gray belt. I tried it on and loved it. The shape of the top I think would complement any shape. It's a very lightweight dress, and I don't think will wrinkle much when you stuff it in your suitcase.

Other pieces in the collection didn't excite me as much. The handbags seemed cheaply made. And it's still too early to think about gloves and beanies. Her towels were soft, though, and came in some nice colors. But nothing to go whoa over. So I'll stick with my coat and dress, and keep an eye out on any more pieces that will be released.
