Fashion Friday- Just Being At Home Casual

Today I am just spending the day at home working on my blogs and trying to learn about things like SEO, how to use social media to my advantage instead of IT taking advantage of me and learning from other great bloggers how to write better.

This is my spot on the sofa…next to the armrest with my feet up on the coffee table and the ipad on my lap, I also have my laptop computer sitting on the arm of the sofa and my cell phone next to me…crazy isn’t it???

I have found the laptop can do certain things faster than my iPad, probably because I can type faster on a regular key board…who knew that my weird high school typing teacher would have taught me such a valuable skill…typing!!

See that cute 3- tiered metal thingy (I never know what to call it!) it’s the one I told all of you about from Walmart! I love that thing!

I’m putting some fall ideas together to share with all ya Y’all’s!

I am all about casual today- I bought this cotton button down shirt from Old Navy…as well as the super cute and comfortable black and white hounds tooth pants that I blogged about.

I was soooo surprised at how great they fit and how comfy they are! I will wear that outfit as soon as it cools off here and show you!

These are the red knee length shorts I told you about from Downeast Basics hands down the most comfortable because of a little spandex in them!

Whoever invented spandex is totally my hero!!

Well I guess I should get back to my “studies” you know I gotta learn all about SEO or whoops maybe I’ve been studying SOO Seek Out Outfits or SOF Seek Out Food…oh but there is no doubt about it…… I’m “studying”! 🙂

Hope you enjoy your weekend.

I am just about to post a delicious cottage cheese lemon blueberry pancake I made this morning..talk about flavor!!

So good!

Ta Ta For Now 😉

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!

You are just too cute, and I love your casual Friday style! I need to do some 'studying' too, but it will have to wait until the weekend, unfortunately. I have also discovered that I 'need' one of those 3-tiered thingies since stopping by to visit you today. That is just too cute...especially with the little pumpkins in it! :)
