What's in Store at Payless, summer accessories

I haven't been to Payless in what seems like forever. And why would I, I'm still going strong with Thrifty Threads 365. However, I was out with my cousin and she wanted to pop into the affordable shoe chain to find some sandals. While she was browsing, I was focused on the prices because in the past I remember being amazed at a $60 price tag for one of the designer collaboration shoes. I mean, it's Payless, is anyone really going to pay that much?!
Luckily on this visit, I wasn't dumbfounded by the prices and I saw a few cute shoes and accessories for summer.

Thrifty Threads 365: Peter Som for Kohl's
I remember checking out the Peter Som DesignNation for Kohl's line last year and I was smitten. The easy, breezy look {Som says the line was inspired by St. Barths!} was just my style and there was a white moto jacket I had to have.
Fast forward months later and the line is finally available. I don't have the moto jacket, but Kohl's was awesome enough to send over a few pieces from the line. And once again, I'm in love. While I prefer a sweet frock or black skinny jeans, I was amazed to find I fell in love with the Peter Som printed pants and I got my moto fix with an asymmetrical zipper vest.
