Styling a Fall swing top for Fashion Friday

For todays installment of Fashion Friday I am sharing styling a fall top. I bought this top a year ago from Old Navy and I love it because it has one of my favorite details.

They do not carry it any more but I found some similar ones that you can see under shop similar fashion at the end of the post.

Pin Tucks!

You might remember another top I shared that I have that is actually a tunic with lots of pin tucks.

They are so flattering especially when there is looseness or a swing to any blouse.

Details of the fall top

The color and print is perfect for fall because it is burnt orange with creamy white florals.

The sleeves are a type of 3/4 in length which I really love because I have long arms and I am always pushing up my sleeves.

The neck line does not have a collar..it is a rounded neckline almost like a mandarin look.

The pintucks are all across the front with buttons going down.

Great feature once again for drawing the eye down to create a longer leaner look if you are short waisted like I am.

Here are a couple of other posts about with tips on how to dress a short waist. Tiered Maxi skirt with belted blouse, Flowy Tunic over jeans and How to style plaid pants not just for the holidays.

The fabric is 100% rayon so it is has movement and flowiness to it. (Hides my thicker waist)

Styling the top

I have worn this top multiple ways!

I bring it on most of trips to Italy.

It is perfect for traveling because it looks great even with some wrinkles in it.

It is loose in fit so I am not uncomfortable wearing it all day.

I can add a scarf or a jean jacket, wear it with jeans or even a cute skirt.

Today I am traveling once again!

This time by car so I am wearing it with my comfy raw edge chino pants from Gap.

Shoes and bag

You will notice I am wearing flip flops today! We are headed to Southern Utah and it is much warmer there.

Sanuk flip flops are the only kind I buy!

They actually have support in them which is so wonderful for my high arches!

I can wear these all day and not have any pain!

My favorite leather crossbody bag from Amazon is a must for any travel.

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!
