Fashion Friday- Denim shirt

Today for Fashion Friday I am showing off my favorite denim shirt that is very versatile and so comfortable with a really nice cut to it that is flattering for anyone.

Denim shirt

This particular denim shirt works like a tunic for me because I am short waisted and it covers my derrière 🙂

Wearing it over some black leggings is such a comfortable way to wear them. Adding in cute flats or boots can really change the look. 

Rhinestone Necklace

I chose to wear the large rhinestone necklace also from jcrew. This necklace is so fun to wear because even though it is fancy it looks great with casual outfits like this one. 

This rhinestone necklace looks so cute peeking out under the button up shirt.

Adding scarf to denim shirt

I added a scarf here to create a longer look to my torso. 

Being short waisted you need to do some tricks. You can read a couple of my other fashion posts about being short waisted here and here.

Don’t you love my Forever 21 blue purse that I got for only $6.00!!! I love me a deal!!

This blue purse goes with everything.

Adding layers to denim shirt

Since it is a bit cold out today, I borrowed my daughters mustard/gold colored jacket. It is really a bit snug for me but I don’t button it up. I leave it open and just use the belt to tie around my waist. 

The warm color mustard/gold is one of my favorites to wear. You can see how I paired a soft gold scarf with this black and white skirt here.

This multi colored black, blue, gold and red scarf ties in all the colors colors of the denim shirt, black leggings and gold jacket. Using a pattern scarf with solids is a nice way to bring in texture and interest.

Photo shoot 🙂

Asking my hubby to help me out by snapping a few pics… is always a scary proposition. As he cannot take good pics!

They turn out blurry or he takes it when I’m not ready, too close or too far away, does not mention my hair needs fixing…etc…hahah

Well he got into it today pretending to be a “photographer” but most pics are somewhat blurry.

I couldn’t stop laughing because he just kept snapping tons of pictures and would say things like…

“pretend your a butterfly..

Now think of a volcano..

Let’s see some anger..

Work it” the pictures were horrible…my face looked so contorted I promptly removed those! 

I did keep a few. This laughing one below…even though it looks like I have 3 neck rolls…. LOL oh my gosh I am dying laughing as I write this!

He is a nut!

Do you love denim shirts and if so what is your favorite way of dressing it up?

Here is another post where I style a light blue denim shirt

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!

  • I have one denim shirt for gardening and a denim jacket. I prefer Chambrey for a shirt; it's cooler to wear. But I do love your styling of your shirts.
