Vera Wang at Kohl's

So I went to Kohl's today to check out Vera Wang's Simply Vera line and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. Yes, the clothes, accessories, and home decor were nice, but I guess I was expecting more. As for the clothes, pickings were slim. The color palette was limited to black, greys, and purples. There were cute dresses, jackets, and other separates, but everything just seemed out of place to me. The prices were way above the prices of the other merchandise sold in the store. I mean, the clothes are probably worth what's on the price tag, but the fact that they are being sold in Kohl's de-values them a bit. I think that if you spend that kind of money on something by a prestigious designer, it should make you feel good. However, I couldn't see myself buying a $128 black trench and bragging that it's Vera Wang from Kohl's... that just doesn't sound right to me. Aside from the clothes, the Simply Vera line had bags, winter accessories, sleepwear, bath towels, and bedding, which still didn't impress me. Her bedding was placed right next to Daisey Fuentes', which again, I have to say, seems out of place to me. Funny enough, I liked Daisey's bedding better. I guess what I'm trying to say is Vera Wang does not belong at Kohl's, not now, not ever.
