Graphic Coats — Abstract pattern and contrast trim
For this Graphic Coats for Spring post, I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohl’s. I received a Kohl’s gift card to facilitate my post and as a thank you for participating. #MC

Spring Graphic Coats
On the runway and in the fashion magazines for spring, you will see the graphic coat repeated everywhere. I particularly love this Simply Vera by Vera Wang graphic coat from Kohl’s spring collection. It was the first piece that grabbed my attention when I strolled into the store. My Kohl’s always has the Simply Vera collection featured at the the front of the ladies section with 3 eye-catching outfits on 3 mannequins. My favorite collections at Kohl’s for Spring included Simply Vera, Dana Buchman and Jennifer Lopez.
Buy it off the dummy
It’s always easy for me to decide what to buy when I go in a Kohl’s store. I usually buy a piece or entire outfit right off the mannequin, and usually off mannequin in the Simply Vera section! I find the clothes on the “dummy” are often the cutest pieces in the collection. Of course, I am more than able to mix in my own twists and supplement with additional pieces of my own.
Update your wardrobe for spring
I noticed several trends as I shopped Kohl’s for spring. As you consider what pieces to add to your wardrobe for spring keep these trends in mind:
- Graphics and mixed media
- Pink and china blue
- Laser cut everything
- Sheers
- Nautical stripes
- Statement necklaces
My Favorite outfit combination from my shopping trip:
The Dana Buchman shoes in this outfit are not only FAB but they are comfortable as well, because they are wedges. The Simply Vera Skinny jeans have just enough stretch to provide comfort and style. I love the Simply Vera crinkle top for the color and mixed media look.

We both chose the same outfit as our favorite. I like the way the blue top and the black jeans go together.
Forgot to mention that I would be most likely to wear #3 but I love all four pics.
Love the coat. It looks so versatile. I’d love to wear this for dress or casual. Thanks for the great giveaway…
I could wear #4 because it is simply “my look.”
i love the third look because it is classy but still comfortable. I am a pants wearing kinda girl.
I like the 2nd look b/c of the fitted jacket and heels!
I would choose the third outfit with the Dana Bachman shoes as they are so me….and I absolutely love that blue/green top. I shop at kohls all the time, and like you I usually hit the Vera wang section! And I’ve been known to undress more than one mannequin! Lol. Loved seeing these outfits….my second pic would be the first one with the boots as I’m almost always in boots this time of the year and those look great with the coat!
I would wear the first look because I love wearing leggings with boots, it is so comfortable and very cute!! Great outfits!
You always look like you’re having so much fun! Love the fab jacket and those heels. Gorgeous 🙂
Nice job showing off all the outfit options for the spring coat. I may have to go give Kohl’s another try. Thank you for the ideaas! 🙂
Awww Mippy! Always appreciate your support. Shelley
That is a beautiful coat. The Simply Vera section always has me sold right from the moment I walk into it. Love Kohls.
Love the addition of a video to bring your post to life. Love the evening outfit in particular. Nice job!
I have undressed many a dummies from the stores in my day because you are right, they usually have on cute things that a majority of the time I end up not being able to find. LOL
That coat is such a multi-purpose piece! I can definitely see how it can go with MANY outfits 🙂
Shelley, you’re adorable, buying clothes of the dummy! If I could fit the clothes on the dummies, I would too, they ARE fashionable! I think I like style #1 the best, but that’s because I live in SoCal, and it feels so Fashionably Winter! Kohl’s is a great place to find the perfect accessories, and even outfits- I bought my wedding dress there, believe it or not!
I love the coat – it has a bit of an Asian flare which I adore and you show it off to perfection in your video with the four great looks. Love the pink accents!
I love that coat! I didn’t see it when I was at Kohl’s last week. I see a return trip in my future.
Love the boots! Of course, I have a thing for boots. 🙂 That’s a fabulous jacket!
