This post was sponsored by Kohl’s & we were provided gifts, however all thoughts and styles are ours and ours alone.

This shopping challenge was a lot of fun, though the word “fun” wouldn’t be one that would automatically come to ones mind when you think of shopping with a 16 year old teen for four hours looking for the “right” outfit. But, watching said 16 year old teen in action while she went back … Continue Reading...
