My Katherines Corner online journal (aka blog) allows me to share with you and to encourage you to always be exactly who you are. I pride myself on being my authentic self. I welcome each of you with open arms and with the promise of a safe place for sharing something encouraging or inspiring to take with you when you leave. I pray you can say you found comfort and encouragement here. I find comfort in familiar friendships that always make their way to my comment section and email. I find comfort in rewarding you, my amazing bloggy friends, with giveaways every month. It is most humbling when I share my personal challenges, life and history with you and you are always there to add your smiles, support and comfort. I am truly blessed.
What comes to mind when you say the word comfort? I think of a hug from our daughter or her daily phone call at 8:30, a smile and hug from a loved one or a lick of unconditional love from our fur baby Izzy. I think of my husband and how we fit like two perfect puzzle pieces when we lay our heads down at night. I think of our grandchildren who, no matter what, always give me comfort. I think of a warm blanket, of days spent rocking my daughter ( she’s 37 now), of a bible verse, foods, comfy pajamas and I think of my corner, Katherines Corner where comfort is given and received every day.
Did you know that people, I don’t know them, just people who aren’t me or anyone I know. Yes, those people. They are wearing pajamas as “regular” clothing. Is it for comfort? Can you imagine walking into your favorite restaurant and being greeted by someone in a onesie? Or attending a a ballroom dance competition and watching someone float across the ball room floor while their Don’t Moose with Me pajama top flows behind them. Well if it gives them comfort who am I to say keep Bullwinkle at home.
Do you agree that you can find comfort in something you wear? Do you have an old pair of jeans, a thread bare tee shirt or some other piece of clothing that gives you comfort? Please share in the comments. Something soft, luxurious, practical and well comfort + able made its way to my door recently. As you know, on occasion I provide you with product reviews which will allow you to make an informed decision before you spend your hard-earned dollars. I found comfort in this unassuming simple design top aptly named, Simple Comfort, from Covered Perfectly.
Pauline, the owner of Covered Perfectly, contacted me for a review and I was not only flattered but happy to accept her request for a review of her Simple Comfort Scoop Neck top made with MicroModal®. I don’t know how the fashion bloggers do it. Their photos always look great. I tried taking my photo using my tripod, failed. Then I tried looking in a mirror with the tripod and camera tilted up, failed. Lastly and just before I was about ready to run down the street looking for someone to just take a photo of me. I stood in my bathroom (close to the rail because I wasn’t using my walking stick) and the sun was just right, and my pretty white lace towel was cascading just beautifully and well, the results are below. Before you ask, I’m not jaundice, the wall color in our bathroom gave off a subtly yellow that I didn’t know about until I uploaded the photos the next day.
We’ll discuss my 10 pounds of holiday weight, my need for spanks and my desire to lose 10 pounds next week. Isn’t this top lovely. No matter what contortion I get myself into when I take photos for Katherines Corner or my shops, the Simple Comfort top moved with me without pulling or tugging. Because I’m 5’9” I like a tunic length top. As you can see in the top center photo (sorry its blurry) right where the bottom of the top meets my bottom is just right, now say that ten times fast. I can honestly say this top gives me comfort. You can read my product review HERE. You can go directly to this top HERE

Katherine you look simply Lovely in the outfit you had on. The top is Beautiful It shows off your Beautiful Necklace. You look awesome Katherine You are Beautiful inside and out. I Also feel Blessed and comfortable when I am on your site.You always seem to touch my Heart~ Hugs my Dear Friend…
Cathy, your kind comments always speak to my heart and I thank you so very much for your bloggy friendship. xo
It is lovely to have the other half of you beside you at night. I love the flower pics. Are those flowers in still water-like states?
Hello, thank you. They are actually artificial and they are resting in acrylic liquid ( from the craft shop) it dries hard and that is the result. Little vases are from the dollar store. Hugs
I am all about comfort in things that I wear!! I have really awful anxiety, if an outfit makes me uncomfortable I am a hot mess all day lol!! Its awful!! I love that she makes close that are comfortable and super cute!! I am totally the person who would wear a onesie all day if I could get away with it lol!! Alas, I cannot 😉
Amber, I love your comment! Hoping your mention of anxiety was tongue in cheek and that you don’t really suffer from anxiety. A onesie you say, lol love it! hugs
Your pictures of you in your new top are pretty darn cute, Katherine! My comfort clothes are a long or short-sleeved 100% cotton T-shirt and a pair of jeans. This is pretty much my uniform and all I ever wear. Sometimes I wear dressier jeans and a shirt with a little bling, but that’s about all. i don’t think I’ve worn a dress for ten years!
Another thing that gives me comfort right now is cuddling up with my two grandsons on the couch and reading stories before they go to bed. They are here at my house during the week to go to school but when they go to their dad’s on Friday for the weekend I really miss them and story time. It just feels so good to have their little bodies close to mine on either side even tho’ sometimes they are squirmy and wiggly. They are indeed a comfort and a blessing to my life.
I also find comfort in my own bed, sleeping with my dog! He’s a labradoodle so he’s nearly as big as a small person and creates quite a bit of warmth despite being on top of the covers. It’s very cozy with him next to me and I feel safe. I think he would bark furiously if anyone were to try to break in and he might even attack.
So those are my examples of comfort. I know there are more if I were to think about it, but I’m so grateful for just those three. Comfort is a real blessing I think and I wish that everyone could have it in their life. The world would likely be a better place.
Naomi, thank you so much for your comment and for sharing the wonderful ways you enjoy comfort. I love that we wear the same “uniform” and have so many similar ways we enjoy comfort. Big Hugs!
I’m writing this while dressed in my pajamas. It’s 4 pm. Yes, it’s early for jammies, but, when I know I’m not going back outside, I get my street clothes off. My jammies make me feel comforted and comfy. I dress for comfort now that I’m retired. And I realize that most of the time, I might look like a slob. But I’ve ceased to care about being fashionable, trendy and smartly dressed. My priorities lie elsewhere. I hope others see that my brand is about simplicity and being real.
But I do love tunic tops because that’s about as comfy street wear you can get. Loose, flowing. Love it. And I do appreciate and value your authenticity, Katherine!
Jean you make me smile. One of my favorite things, pajama day! I know that dressing for comfort can mean pj’s at 4 and I love it too! xo
Aw, you look gorgeous, Katie and loved seeing some pics of you here in this newest shirt you reviewed. Again absolutely beautiful, my friend. Now Happy Friday and weekend ahead xoxo <3
Janine, you are so kind, thank you for your lovely comment. Biggest hugs!
I think you look great!!! I may try out that top too.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I do. Hugs
