Fashion Friday- Throw Back

I came across a coupe of old pictures that I thought you would love to see! LOL

I am rocking this black jumpsuit don’t you think? Oh gosh such a funny photo of all of us!

My daughters think it looks like a mechanics suit! haha but hey it is back in fashion!

My brother in his light blue tuxedo is a total classic too! Think Dumb and Dumber movie! hahah I think this was for his 8th grade graduation.

I think I am am probably around 16 yrs old here.

Ok so you know I’ve told you that I am short waisted and here is the proof!!

Haha long legs with no body! Plus my hips jet forward because I have a swayed back. I think my mom and I have the same haircut!

It just cracks me up looking at this photo.

Seeing these photos makes me miss my sweet brother a lot.

For those of you who don’t know..

My brother passed away almost 12 years ago now from colon cancer at the young age of 48 🙁 but he is still alive in hearts, memories and we see him in all his children!

It’s amazing how many of his kids have his mannerisms!! Below is a photo of us…I think I am around 13 and he is 11. My mom was cracking up at my long legs in this outfit. My legs come up to my brothers armpits! Hahah

Hope you’ve enjoyed your Friday!

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!
