My Latest Favorite Summer Outfit: Bold, Fun, and Perfect for Italy!

Hello, lovely readers! 🌸

Summer is in full swing, and I’ve found my latest favorite summer outfit that combines comfort, style, and a touch of boldness. I recently snagged this fabulous ensemble from TJMaxx, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you! I tried to find the items online but couldn’t find them I did find similar ones and you can shop at the bottom of this post


Wide Leg Bold Print Pants

Let’s start with these eye-catching wide leg pants. They feature a vibrant, almost Hawaiian pink and white print that’s sure to turn heads. Here’s why I love them:

  • Comfortable Fit: The elastic waist makes them super comfortable and easy to wear all day long. They hit right at the ankle, making them perfect for those warm summer days.
  • Material: Made of linen and rayon, these pants have a beautiful flow and feel light and airy, perfect for staying cool in the heat.
  • Bold Print: If you’re hesitant to try a bold print like this, I encourage you to give it a shot! You might just fall in love with the fun and lively vibe they bring to your wardrobe.

White Tied-at-the-Waist Top

Pairing perfectly with the pants is this chic white top, also from TJMaxx:

  • Rayon Fabric: The top is made of soft rayon, which feels great against the skin and keeps you cool.
  • Flattering Fit: It buttons up the front and can be tied loosely at the waist, which helps to camouflage a thicker waistline. The back is longer, creating a flattering, lean look.
  • Stylish Sleeves: Normally, I’m not a fan of short sleeves (the grandma wave is real, haha!), but these have a turned-up cuff that gives a polished finish.

The Perfect Pairing for my latest favorite summer outfit

To complete the look, I’m wearing my trusty white Flojos flip flops. They are incredibly comfortable, and I can wear them all day without any foot pain. This outfit is not only stylish but also practical, making it ideal for our upcoming trip to Italy next week!


Why I Love This Look

  • Casual and Chic: This outfit strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic, making it versatile for various summer activities.
  • Flattering and Comfortable: The combination of the flowy pants and the tied-at-the-waist top is both flattering and comfortable, making me feel confident and at ease.
  • Bold and Fun: The bold print pants add a fun element to the outfit, making it stand out in the best way possible.

Remember my polka dotted wide leg palazzo pants? I think I will bring those pants on my trip too. The white blouse would look great with them.


I’m excited to pack this outfit for Italy and can’t wait to wear it while exploring beautiful places. What do you think of this look? Do you love it as much as I do? Let me know in the comments below!

Stay stylish and cool, my friends!

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!
