Wow! YLF in all of these. Love 3 and 4 in particular. That coral clutch really adds a punch to your neutrals.

Aaahh .... I remember the Kodak film days! My parents had (and I am sure they still have it somewhere!) when I was a kid. How fun to still use that camera! They were surely well made, weren't they?

The sandals you are wearing are Trinas right? I never fail to notice them on anyone's feet! So subtle yet makes all the difference in an outfit. The 25th anniversary dinner outfit is my absolute favorite (Happy Belated Anniversary!). And I wasn't quite ready or the maxi look :). I didn't know you wore maxis! Love that sexy side slit

Glad you had fun! And welcome back!

Thanks, JayS and Neel! Neel, it's just a camera strap - it says "Kodak Film" - the camera I attached it to is a brand new DSLR, my expensive summer purchase

Lol! Sorry ... I am just sipping on my morning tea :D. I was thinking you probably were a hobbyist who likes to develop their own film..... *chuckle*

Happy anniversary, Karie! 25 is worthy of a big celebration! You look especially stunning in your dressy looks--the anniversary party outfit, your self-made LBD, the luncheon maxi-skirt! Love your self-made tunic, too.
And I'm so nostalgic looking at your photo 2. . . can't recall the last time I played skee-ball. (It might have been at the Jersey shore when I was in college.) What fun!

Okay, in love with the metallic shoes. Gorgeous! Also loving the striped dress and the blue top, black pants outfit! I love how you paired that with the silver sandals and created a summery look out of it. Beautiful!

Suz

Congratulations, Karie! Happy anniversary! So chuffed you wore "my" dress for your celebration. You look really pretty and crisp. The clutch is a great touch.

I like every one of these outfits. Perfect for the occasions, relaxed, and you seem confident. Your summer style is really great!

# 6 is so fab! Great tunic on you.

Jaime

Happy Anniversary! Love your first casual outfit and the party dress is gorgeous!

You look super in all of these. Your first casual outfit is the star! And I am so glad you got that J. Crew dress, it suits you perfectly.

Tanya

Happy Anniversary, Karie! That is worth celebrating.

All of these are great, you are having one stylish summer. I especially like that last look with the cobalt tunic. Your hair looks really good, and I love how glamorous it looks with the sunglasses.

Lol, Neel! And yes, those are Trina's.

Fathenry, the Trina sandals are my new favorites! Too bad summer won't last longer so I could get more wear out of them

FIrecracker, thanks for the shout-out on the self made items, particularly since you are one of our self made gurus! The LBD was made from some fabric in my stash and was intended to be a "muslin" - the tunic is the same pattern, another "muslin," graded down in the bust, and only a tunic because I had less of that in my stash. I'm glad both turned out to be wearable

Yes, Suz, "your dress" has turned out to be a real workhorse! I will always listen to your recommendations - after all, you do know J.Crew very well

Ceit and Shevia, that J.Crew dress is my favorite! Not too dressy, not too casual, just comfy and perfect for any occasion I go to.

Thanks, Tanya! I almost didn't post that outfit since I made the top. I'm a bit shy about that as my usual sewing is gear and loungewear - things that don't get seen by a lot of people - but I figured I wore it, I'll post it!

What a great group of stylish outfits. This whole set says summer fun! Would you mind sharing the pattern info for the self-made dress/tunic? It's such a lovely simple design.

Happy Anniversary

That dress in #3 is just all kinds of fantastic on you Karie and I adore it paired with the colorful clutch. A beautiful dress for your celebration.

Glad to see you post Karie, they are all great and perfectly stylish and appropiate outfits! Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, and cheers to many more happy years together with your sweetie.

There is something deliciously '80s about #6, so it has my heart. The pose is very Risky Business too. Very fun.

And how fab to see you in frocks. #3 is Killer Beautiful. xo

Mia

So glad the J. Crew dress worked out as it looks great. Love the Trinas so much. They work with everything!

What a milestone. Congrats to you and hubs.

Those Trina's are super. Where are they from?

Thanks everyone! bj1111, the Trina's are Sam Edelman from Zappos. JillG, the dress is Butterick 5211. Angie, I love "Risky Business!"

How casual cool are you in #1?!? Love it! #3 is of course lovely as the day you debuted it, and I like 2 and 4 as well.

rachylou

You know, you look very good in black... great outfits!

Aida

How fun! Karie, these outfits all have a wonderful summer ease to them. They make me pine for summer, and summer's not even over ^^ #1 and #6 steal my heart, but #3 is very sweet and makes me smile. Congrats on the anniversary! When I started reading the description for #4 I thought, "gosh I could never golf in a maxi!" and then saw that you lunched... After the first few holes, I probably would too
