Vanessa Crocheted Summer Tee Outfit

June 12, 2021

In March, a friend of mine released a brand new crochet book of easy to make garments. I was lucky to receive a copy of the book to do some reviews, and number one on my list was this beautiful Vanessa Tee.

What first caught my eye was the lacy, filet design. As I looked further into it, I really liked the idea of trying out 24/7 Cotton Yarn, and working myself up a new Summer top. Here in Florida, it’s pretty much Summer all year, so I’ll get a lot more use out of a cotton top, than wool. I also really liked the simple t-shirt shape. I left longer than usual armholes, and I think it really helped the tee drape better.

With all the holes from the filet pattern, I put a basic one size fits most black under shirt under the tee – my favorite ones are from Ross. They come in all kinds of colors, are around $3, and even give a slimming effect.

I’m rocking my high waisted blue jeans from Wal-Mart that are NoBo brand. These are really great quality jeans. They have outlasted my Old Navy Rockstars, and are really comfortable. My only issue with them is compression – they have none in the front so if you’re like me and have a little belly on you, it is noticeable in person (though you can’t really tell in these photos). I am 5’6″ and 193 pounds wearing the size 13.

I tried black wedges at first, thinking I would take the same color from the tank top, but it just didn’t look as great as these brown wedges. Blue jeans and brown shoes really are a great pair together. I forget the brand of these wedges, but they were a $20 Ross find.

If you are interested, check out my crochet pattern review over on my sister blog, EyeLoveKnots. I found the pattern pattern was very easy to follow. Worked in simple double crochet stitches and basic shaping, this top is suitable for a confident beginner, and even better, it’s reversible!

    This is really cute and def. breathable even for Florida I am sure! The back surprised me and it is so cute! You could def. layer some cute tanks or camis underneath in neon colors for the summer!

      Oh yes – the yarn I used is so nice to wear in Florida. I like the idea of neon colored tops! I will need to do some shopping.

      Thank you! I love all your outfits with the wedges, so when I saw these at Ross, I swooped them up in brown and black. Completely inspired by you – you’re awesome!

    This is such a cute tee – I like the cut out design on the front, and it works so well with your jeans 🙂

    Thanks so much for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup 🙂 Hope you’re having a nice weekend, it’s another cold wintery one here.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Black OUGES Top (aff link)

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42″ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
