Stripes + Eyelet

Houston blogger styles a Chicwish Striped Eyelet Top with Skinny Jeans

Hello from Memphis! I’m typing this post from my parent’s couch while my mom and I have Into the Woods on in the background. I definitely get my show tunes fix when I hang out with her! Anywho, I could go on & on about my love for show tunes all day (really, I could) but instead I’m sharing the deets on this under $40 striped eyelet top. I’m also chatting about my favorite pair of shoes in my closet right now & the biggest hairstyle cheat that I’ve ever discovered! Head on down for more!

Chicwish Striped and Eyelet Top

You can’t totally tell in this picture, but my gold necklace says Annie on it! I love having a cute little reminder of my girl around my neck. This necklace is from Soul Feel & is fully custumizable in both fonts & metals.

As you can probably tell (from this post, this post & this one) Chicwish has become my go-to shop for spring tops. The price point & the quality are both amazing! Plus, the silhouettes are chic & unique enough that you don’t see similar styles elsewhere. This striped top has a peplum hem and is finished with gorgeous white eyelet details. It’s a great everyday throw on & go top to wear with jeans & shorts.

Shop the Look:

I styled it with these Seychelles laser cut slip on heels that, like I mentioned above, are hands down my favorite pair of shoes in my closet right now. After having Annie, I took a bigger break from heels than I was expecting. It’s true, it’s kind of difficult to carry a baby, a stroller & a car seat & a diaper bag with platforms on your feet. Luckily, these slip ons from Seychelles give just the right amount of height and they’re comfortable enough that I don’t even feel like I’m actually wearing heels! I run around with my girl in these shoes all the time! (Sidenote, they also come in brown. Which I’m contemplating whether or not I actually need….)

On another note, if you guys follow along on instagram or instagram-stories, you might have seen me mention this braid headband by Just Braydz. Literally, I am OBSESSED. I know I probably say that a lot, but this braid takes the cake! All I do is place the headband on top of my head then tuck my hair under the elastic at the back. I finish it off by dropping in a few bobby pins to keep it all in place and voila: I have a chic & easy crown braid. I love that this hairstyle is easy to throw together in a pinch. Plus it keeps my long locks out of Annie’s hands. Pulling my hair has become one of her favorite hobbies as of late. 😉
