Fashion Friday- Red and White Striped Skirt

Welcome to Fashion Friday!

I have had such a desire to wear some spring clothes with a nautical look.

I bought this fun red and white skirt from a darling boutique by my house called The Nest a year or so ago and I just love the flow and feel of it!

I paired it with my light blue button down blouse and a “kind of” periwinkle blue linen jacket for fun!

I love tailored linen jackets… I can’t remember where I purchased this jacket from but most likely it was JCrew. I love their tailored looks.

You might remember this blue blouse from this outfit and I wore these blue flats with this outfit.

If you liked this Fashion Friday you will love this one too!

Hope you are enjoying your Friday… I am working on some home decor projects over at my daughters house

One of which is a roman shade tutorial without using hardware for her kitchen.

Another fun project I worked on was over at my sisters. Her Family Room Reveal,

Plus you have got to see my basement makeover with shiplap!

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!
