You guys. Anchors are kind of my thing. I even wrote a whole post on them here. My mom once told me that anchors represent Jesus as the anchor of our souls. Isn’t that beautiful?! I’ve always loved them, but that made me love them even more. Needless to say, I adore anything with anchors on it, so when I spotted this top from Twisted Simplicity, I just knew it was for me. And of course it inspired my entire outfit, since I was feeling all summery and nautical. The hat makes me happy, and I even put lipstick on! I never wear lipstick! I’m thinking that’s about to change, much to Zack’s chagrin. By the way, what is with guys and lipstick? Ahh, who cares. I’m finally feeling confident wearing it lately, so he’ll just learn to deal. ;)

Katie, you are so adorable! And I love what your mom said about Jesus being our anchor. I love anchors too and that adds even more sweetness to them! Also, Twisted Simplicity just opened a store close to me. I can’t wait to visit them. Thx for sharing!!

i love that top! anchors automatically make me feel like it’s summer, even if the weather isn’t cooperating : )
Agreed! Anchors pretty much equal summertime! Might as well pretend, until we get the real thing ;)

G hates lipstick on me, too. Don’t get it. Don’t they want us to look fab??:)
Haha apparently not! Men just don’t get it ;)
xo

Isn’t it the cutest?! I’m obsessed.

Love the outfit, and your darker hair! So pretty :) Your hat is the cutest with your tank!
Aww you noticed my hair!! :) Thanks girly!

You are just adorable. And the fact that your outfit has meaning too makes it even better!
Aw thanks girl :)

I’m loving anchors lately! & this top is just so adorable!!
Aww thanks love!!
xo
AHOY, Katie! ;) I heart everything about your outfit!! I pretty much wear leggings everyday, so I am gonna have to say I heart yours too! And knowing what your wise mum told you about anchors, I heart your shirt even more! I love wearing lipstick too, although it does make it harder to smooch with the hubby ;) Have a lovely Monday dear!

You are the sweetest, Shio!!! I wear leggings pretty much every day, too! LOVE them! I think that’s why men don’t like lipstick: it makes kissing much more difficult, and that’s no good ;)
xo
Anchors are my favorite! Anchors have always held the same significance to me as how your Mom explained :) And I always make sure to give Justin a big kiss on the cheek when I’m wearing lipsticks haha! xo
Aww I love that anchors have the same significance for you too! :) And Zack gets so mad if I try to kiss him with lipstick hehe
xo
super-duper cute! that shirt is adorable and so is the lipstick. hope the hubby ends up being okay with the lipstick ’cause i think you need to keep it around – it looks fab!
Aw you’re sweet, Illy!!! Thanks girl. :) He just doesn’t like when I try to kiss him with lipstick, which is perfectly understandable! It just leaves me in quite the predicament! ;)
xo
I love that top! I love anchors as well! I agree with what your mom said about Jesus being our anchor. He holds us down when we are going crazy, or in those girly moments of nothing makes sense, and everything just makes us want to cry. I have always wanted a tattoo with an anchor as representing how Christ holds us steady in life’s storms.
Isn’t it the best?! Jesus is our anchor!!! :) Love what you said!
xo
I really love anchors, as well…but still don’t own anything with them on it. Need to change that!
Ahhh you must change that! They’re perfect for summer :)
xo
Your lipstick looks fabulous! love it. I hope whatever guy I eventually get doesn’t mind lipstick cause this girl has a lipstick collection that is worn often haha
Haha thanks girl. And good luck with finding that guy ;) All the ones I know are not fans of the lipstick!
xo
Love this look! The top is perfect!
