Outfit of the Day: Lavender and Pink (Lauren Conrad)

Here's an outfit of the day for you guys. This top was featured in my "Summer Fashion" video. You can watch it here:


This top is from the Lauren Conrad line at Kohl's. This line is one of my favorites, and I have purchased many items over the past few years.

 Here the H2T (or Head to Toe): Top is Lauren Conrad for Kohl's. Shorts are Red Rivet from Walmart. Shoes are from Payless.
 Here is a backview of the shirt. It has a bow in the back. I love this top. It is a dove grey/lavender color, with soft light pink polka dots, that have an uneven pattern. It also has pleating at the front for a flattering drape.
 Here's a close-up of the ballet flats. They are a lavender color, with pointed toes, and a ruffle
 Accessories: Sterling Silver and Rose Gold Cuff Bracelets from The Current Custom . Necklace from JewelMint.com. Earrings from Charming Charlie's. Promise ring from Zales.
