	Brittany's Fashion Blog: Classy, Modern Looks All at Kohl's! By Brittany Cole October 14, 2011 - 10:30pm Before I started my senior year, I took one look at my closet and realized it needed a bit of a touch-up. This was after I glanced through Lauren Conrad’s ‘Style’ book. She featured sections of clothing considered to be necessities, but that were also versatile. I realized my looks needed to be updated—the real world is coming soon! I feel that Kohl’s they has done such a great job providing looks for this in-between stage for women through their new product launches.
