anthropologie red stripe peplum top

Happy 4th of July weekend, y’all!  Do you have any fun plans?  We are staying home for the first time since we have been together.  (In Texas, we always spend the 4th at the Knapp’s lake house and in NYC we would always go out east with our friends.)  But this year, it feels too intimidating to me to pack up both boys for the lake before we leave for California on Tuesday.  (There is so much prep that goes into getting everything ready to leave your children for a week!)  Tuesday will be the first time Fred and I are leaving both boys with family to take a vacation just the two of us.  Needless to say, we are pretty excited about our upcoming getaway!

You last saw this top styled here, but of course I had to bring the stripes back out for a casual take on holiday weekend style.
