Time to start packing for BlogHer13! The Momtrends team is heading to Chicago for the blogging conference that helps women elevate their blogs and to connect with other passionate bloggers. To get ready for the conference, I did some shopping at Kohl's. I wanted to score some great outfits for the parties I'll be attending and the one's I'll be hosting.

Outside of the conference, there are lots of parties, and I'll be hosting the Manicures and Mimosas event at Blowtique. I wanted to put together an outfit that was stylish and I got so inspired at Kohl's.

This white Jennifer Lopez top kicked off the outfit. I thought a nice crisp white and black look would be perfect for a daytime event. I paired the top with these Lauren Conrad shorts--who isn't crazy for lace shorts right now! And for the third designer mention...the shoes are the new Simply Vera collection. Are the shoes not fabulous? $43.99 for this platform. Got to love Kohl's.

And I also scored some fabulous accessories. I'm a hat girl so the Apt.9 hat ($10!) seemed like a fun addition. And then there is this cool ring...

Also, from Jennifer Lopez. The entire outfit was less than $100 and will mix and match with lots of other things I am packing. Kohl's totally delivered the fashion goods.

Now what about you? Anyone else going to the conference? Any Kohl's fans out there. I hope you’ll share what you’ve been wearing on Monday Mingle. Monday Mingle is a fashionable collaboration between me, Jill from Glamamom and Kristin from BonBonRoseGirls. Each week we post about our personal style and then invite our friends to join in the fun. Today Kristin is playing host. We rotate each week. Everyone is invited!

Momtrends was not paid for this post. As always, we get a lot of free clothing to style. But no one paid me to put any of this together.
