A Simple Summer Look

striped top and high-waisted skirt

Finally, finally I'm able to show you this shirt that I wore in a ton of our Seattle vacation photos. It's so comfortable and looks great with shorts (seen here) or tucked into this high-waisted skirt. Originally, there was a thin fabric belt that went around it, but it didn't sit quite low enough to hit my waist, so I cut it off and re-purposed it into a fun little bracelet "stack" of sorts.

I shared the link for Lila Rose with a friend at work.

We are currently drooling over all the hair accessories.


Some would even be perfect for the Renaissance Faire we attend.
I am planning on buying some tonight.


Don't tell the man of the household... the lady of the household is supposed to be frugal.

Why do you not live closer to me. Your hair always looks SO cute and I need a hair guru for a wedding I'm going to on Wednesday!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Kelly! That's so good to know... I don't have much of it, but maybe I should pick up some more!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thank you, beautiful! But I think gorgeous is more like those amazing Hawaii photos you've been posting!

Annelise Rowe said...

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks, Anna! I've been SO GOOD about not pulling... I don't know how it's been that long!

I love black and white stripes, especially with royal blue! You're so creative to think of using the shirt's belt for a bracelet!

Susan said...

The shirt and your earrings are adorrrrable! As always, you look fabulous.

Allison Johnson said...

Your hair is beautiful here! The hairclip and earrings are my favorite parts - although everything looks great. I can definitely see myself wearing this!

Annelise Rowe said...

You're right! It does channel his signature stripes! So fun!

Annelise Rowe said...

I think that's why I liked it... so versatile! Thanks Allison!

Annelise Rowe said...

Oh thanks! I wish cobalt would make a comeback... it's so universally flattering!

Annelise Rowe said...

That's exactly what I was thinking! Thanks Marlana!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Emily! I was wondering if anyone was going to read that part :) The belt hit me mid-ribs and was a little awkward (it kind of propped itself right under my boobs...), so cutting it off seemed like the right thing to do!

Annelise Rowe said...

Susan, you're so sweet. Thanks a bunch! They definitely complimented each other!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Kristen! They're about 3 years old. You know how long Steve Maddens last!

Annelise Rowe said...

You're so awesome, Becca! They're both from a little online boutique called Olivia Wares, and man do I love their stuff!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Allison! I'm planning to do a video tutorial for this bun, it's so simple :)
