Karina Dresses & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

Welcome to this week's Fun Fashion Friday.  Before we start the fashion fun, I want to thank everyone for the sweet compassionate comments last week.  It really meant a lot to me.

This week I'm excited to be showing off my first Karina Dress! Gee, I kinda feel like the last fashionista on the planet to have one, and now I know why they're so popular ... easy dressing at it's best!

I picked the "Megan" in a black and white clover print.  It was hard choose just one dress because so many options looked so pretty!  One of my favorite features of Karina Dresses is that they help you pick a dress based on your body type for the best fit.  I totally recommend the "Megan" style for fellow pear shapes. It couldn't be more flattering.

I love so many things about Karina. All their dresses are machine washable and wrinkle free.  I also noticed that pet hair doesn't stick to this material ... a big plus in my home. And one of my favorite features?  A wrap style top that stays ... wrapped!  I never had to fuss with pulling it closed or pinning it.  I'm betting that this pretty number goes into regular teacher rotation once the school year starts again.  

Here I styled the dress with a vintage bag and shoes.  I thought it echoed the classic retro styling nicely.  And by now you all know I'm a sucker for black and white with a pop of red!

Disclosure: Karina Dresses gifted me this fabulous dress.  All opinions are all my own as always.  Post contains affiliate links that help support this blog.

Isn't it time to own a Karina dress that you love?

Hamsa & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

Everything old is new again.

The hamsa image is showing up on tshirts and jewelry all over the place.  This ancient symbol has been used for centuries as protection against the evil eye in the Middle East and parts of Africa.  The vibe of this amulet fits right in with the bohemian aestetic so on trend right now.

Outfit details and shopping ideas:

Hamsa top - Lucky brand 
Shop Lucky Brand Hamsa Tees
Shop Shopbop Hamsa tees and jewelry

Distressed BF jeans - Old Navy

Nude sandals - Michael Shannon (cute option, Zappos))
Shop for platform sandals at Shopbop.

Jewelry - Tillys

Studded clutch - Urban Expressions (Nordstrom Rack)
Shop for studded clutches at Zappos
Shop for studded clutches at Shopbop

And while the hansa symbol may guard against the evil eye, it's no protection at all against my wild Siberian husky!

I decided to go with a casual theme for this week's features:

Here's Jill of Doused in Pink looking so cool and comfy.

Everyone knows I'm a sucker for a cute dog top and here's Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust looking adorable in hers.

Loving this striped top with the utility vest on pretty Casey of A Little Bit Of Cheer.

I love casual chic!

Now Dolls ... link up, link back, browse around & have FUN!
