Cropped

Crop Top + Pleated Skirt

Let’s be real…the crop top scared me. I was never one to show my stomach, even in middle school when belly shirts were all the rage. As a pear, I’m very conscious of where things hit me and what body parts they emphasize. But, when I saw Lacey and Erica totally rocking crop tops, I was inspired! I picked a top that would only show a sliver of skin, and paired it with a pleated skirt with a high waist. The casual top was a good balance for a dressier skirt. I was a little nervous about how this pairing would go over, but we hosted our last backyard BBQ before the big move (this week!) and I got a lot of compliments. The next few days are going to be crazy, so wish me luck!

    Wow! Good for you, Sam. I’m still to scared to give crop tops a try.

    • Thank you! Go for just a sliver of skin, and it’s not so scary!

  2. I carry all my weight in my stomach, so sadly, this probably isn’t a look I’ll ever be able to feel comfortable with. I love that you rocked it over the weekend! (And so good to see you on Friday.)

    I think if you are going to do a crop, this is the way. I’m not totally comfortable with it myself, so I totally admire you for showing some skin!
