She Won't Be Mentioned In "The Devil Wears Prada 2," But These Patterns Are Interesting To Look At For Summer Wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love discovering new designers, and Lauren Conrad is one I recently discovered.  Now, girls, I discovered her on a KOHL's Mom commercial, but it is not like I am telling you to shop at KOHL's.  I mean, a girl's could lose her reputation that way.  And that actress is SO annoying!

However, with the economy tanking, and all of us able to afford less, it would not surprise me if some of my girls have shopped surreptitiously at KOHL's.  It is one step above a thrift shop, though I understand, in the right locale, like Manhattan's Upper East Side, sometimes one can find amazing items at such shops.

Have I ever done this?  I will never tell!

The red dress is my favorite, as it is a color I am instantly drawn to.  Wearing it could make me feel like Donna McKechnie, and that is not bad at all.

But I also love the short summer frock with the parasol.  It can make me feel petite again, and girls, wouldn't we all want that?  I know I would feel so carefree and breezy in that outfit.

No, you will not hear Lauren's name mentioned in the 'Prada' sequel, but she does turn out some interesting work.  These items are worthy of attention, especially for young career girls just starting out.  How well I remember those days!

Remember--being short on cash does not mean you have to look cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
