Fashion Friday- Black and Gold

Fashion Friday- Black and Gold is one of my favorite go to color combinations…it just always looks good together.

When I found this yummy and so so soft infinity scarf at a little boutique (that happens to be right in my neighborhood) I knew it would flow so well with my gold and black outfit.

Layering black and gold is the key

Layering is the key for me to add interest, texture and color.

For this outfit I am wearing a white tank, gold cardigan, black fitted jacket with fun gold buttons and a gold and grey infinity scarf with a black and white striped maxi skirt.

Fitted black jackets are so flattering! You can see another outfit where I paired my fitted black jacket with a pink pencil skirt here.

Once again I love how the jacket with the gold buttons draws your eye down to give the illusion of length.

When you are short waisted these lines help so much!

Black flats with Maxi skirt

With my black and white striped maxi skirt, I wear black flats because they are so comfortable.

You can see another fun outfit where I am wearing black flats and try to channel Diane Keaton here.

Fashion should be fun don’t you think? I love basic colors and mixing them to create new outfits.

What are your favorite color combinations to wear?

Just by adding a new scarf to these clothes I have had for a few years makes everything feel new again!

I think I may have to get a few of these types of scarfs in different colors.

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!

Oh, this gives me some ideas for my gold vest I haven't worn much in recent year. Now to remember! Love this pretty combo: I also have a scarf that I could wear in a similar outfit.

  Hi Melissa! Thank you!! I can't remember where I bought the jacket but most likely it was from TJMax I think the buttons just make it! It kind of gives me a vibe of the Beatles St. Peppers Club band lol
