Fashion Friday- Be Yourself

I am no fashion expert but I enjoy fashion, being myself and laughing!! Oh my gosh…my husband once again was trying to be Mr. Photographer and ended up taking many pics of me almost peeing my pants laughing so hard! You will see those lovely pics at the end of this post.

Today’s fashion tip is: Just be yourself….I love the color turqoise…I think it is flattering on everyone so when I saw these skinny jeans in turqoise from Old navy..I knew I had to have them. The denim coat is a fun piece I bought 4 years ago at TJmaxx..so unique and different.

I paired the turqoise skinny jeans with a crisp white blouse…(I adore white blouses!) I am wearing the blouse untucked and belted to once again camouflage the belly area 😉 I topped it with this new light pink salmon colored cardi from old navy. Fashion doesn’t have to cost a lot.

I have always had a thing for pointy shoes…They make me feel chic. These golden yellow pointy toe kitten heel shoes I have had forever. By adding them to my “ensemble” I think it gives it a little sumpin sumpin 🙂

Aren’t they just adorbs…(my niece in college uses this term) I wish I could remember where I found these and wish I could find them in lots of different colors..they are very comfortable and look chic without the big high heel that makes you look like you might fall over and causes pain in my feet and back.

On Sundays my niece…Elli and her best pal from college…Isabella, usually come over for Sunday dinner and….for Christmas Isabella gave me this beautiful necklace as a thank you for feeding them… Is she precious or what?

Ok I know you have all been waiting for the pics “Mr. Photographer” took of me…well here they are LOL just being myself 🙂
Happy Friday everyone!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
