Kohl’s just brought out the Elie Tahari for DesigNation line. With iconic cityscape prints and a cosmopolitan color palette, the Elie Tahari for DesigNation collection captures the fresh, unabashed attitude of the city that never sleeps. They sent me along a few pieces to feature. I think you will enjoy this video where Elie Tahari discusses his design philosophy for the collection.
While this line is featured on a younger crowd in the video, I think it translates well across age groups.
Elie Tahari for DesigNation Scuba Mixed-Media Bomber Jacket ($120, Sale $84)
I wore this outfit when I went with my 4 sister-in-laws for lunch at Buon Gusto in Brighton, MI. A lady in the restaurant came over, out of the blue, and asked me where I got my jacket. I let her try it on and she turned to her mom and said, “We’re going to Kohl’s after lunch.” Another cute story about this outfit, I asked in a facebook blogging group for a little photo help with the main photo for this post. The blogger who helped me fix my issue, loved the dress so much she went out that night and bought it for herself!
What do you think of the the new Elie Tahari for DesigNation line?




this is sucha neat idea for a dress. love it
Super cute! I love you can go summer or fall with this outfit! Love the jacket too.
I’m quite in love with that dress and not only for me. I think that dress looks absolutely incredible on you! Probably my favorite out of everything I’ve seen you wear 🙂
This is really cute!! I love the pattern at the bottom of the skirt.
The whole look is amazing on you… I love it all. Kohl’s is my go-to for pretty much everything…
Love the total look and you look great. The dress is awesome.
Love those pleats!
That dress is so cute. I love the pattern. It looks great on you!
I love that outfit it’s so cute.
I think buying this dress is contagious, I’m feeling the need to go and look for it as well! I have been gawking online but really need to see the line in store. You look fashionable as always 🙂
Tina, if you live close to a Kohl’s just order two different sizes online. Shipping will be free (cuz it’s over $75 for both) and then try it at home with your shoes and lighting. That’s what I do.
I love the structure of that dress, the bottom is gorgeous, and just look at those shoulders! I love that I can buy this collection at Kohl’s and the commercials for this collection really move me to get in the store and check it out. I love that the line is inspired by NYC, and the movement is evident in all of the many pieces.
What a delightful dress! Everyone needs a little black dress like that!
That dress is absolutely adorable. I just love the pattern!
It’s certainly very striking. You look fantastic in that dress and jacket. I just wish it had more color – the royal blue is a lovely addition but the black, white and grey is a little neutral for me.
You look gorgeous as always. You can’t go wrong with a little black dress, and the medallion is SUPER cool.
Love this, Shelley! You look amazing in this outfit! Glad you went to see the collection!
Ooo Ooo Ooo they do have it in my size!!! Now if I can just find some money laying around..
I love that dress. And if they have one my size it would probably look good on me too. But I really love the boots/shoes you are wearing in that pic. Where did you get those? I might actually be able to wear those…for at least an hour :p lol
Hi Elle, They are from a site called Nasty Girl but they have versions of them everywhere. Yes the big chuncky heel makes it very easy to walk in them. I love them. Shelley
So cute. I love the hair makeup, tights shoes. Everything looks fantastic. I need to check out what’s new at Kohl’s. This collection sounds great!
I love the outfit, but I have to ask…HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED BAD IN ANYTHING? I think not!
oh Libby, if you only knew. Shelley
