Fashion Friday- Navy and White Gingham Blouse
I love this Navy and White Gingham blouse or checked shirt whichever you prefer to call it. It has been so versatile with so many colors and looks good with skirts or pants! I showed you another outfit using this blouse in my
5 Casual Outfits post awhile back.
I paired the blouse with my lemon yellow pencil skirt and added pops of red with my $5.00 Walmart necklace! Uh Huh..Remember my
peach one? It is exactly the same one but I did not pay $5.00 for it when I bought it a few years ago in Texas!
I love to add pops of color to my outfits in case you haven’t noticed 😉
So here I just changed out the skirt to my red skinny jeans. Everything else stayed the same.
Like my eyebrow pop? I look like Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Hero’s if any of you remember that show (totally dates me)
Just picture a German accent.
P.S. I don’t know why the necklace looks orange in these pics…it is red.
HAHAHA by the way do any of you suffer from eyebrow lightening? Mine used to be black! My age spots are getting darker and my eyebrows are getting lighter! What’s up with that?!!
Now I am trying to channel Jackie O with the coat and sunglasses.
Do you remember back in the 60’s that we used to wear capes?
My cute mom made me one for Easter when I was about 8 or 9 years old and I loved it..I will have to dig that picture up and post it soon. I think that started my coat fettish. I love buying cute little coats for me and my granddaughter too!
The older I get the more I want to cover up my turkey neck and crows feet! Thank heavens for large sun glasses and button up blouses with fun necklaces.
I hope you enjoy your weekend!
Karins KottageWelcome 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!

Hey, I LOVE your fashion posts.
I want to address one thing...it's funny you mention lightening of the eyebrows. My sister said something to me about mine being lighter and one of them getting sparser a couple of months ago and her daughter (23 and fab) told us about a new product that she knew we would love..."Maybelline Brow Drama" in Soft Brown...that's what you need, too. I LOVE IT and so does my sister. Give it a try!!
HTH

Karin :)
