The Favorite Crop Top

Ohhhh Crop Top. I will blog about thee until the end of time. Or at least until you are no longer cool. (and even then, I might still).

So I know it's taken me a minute to get back to ya on this crop top - but no worries, the time has come. Try to contain yourself. In case you forgot about the best crop top in the world or you just totally missed it - check it here.

I know this is a trend that most, ok maybe all, of my friends make fun of. But frankly, I think it's fun. I get to deny my 31ish years on this earth and pretend that I'm 22 again. (I was way too conservative at 22...I'm just making up for lost time.) Plus I'm also taking advantage of the fact that breastfeeding left me high school skinny. (Too bad it hasn't left me a 6 pack as well)

Side Note:  (Remember all those clothes that you love but you still gave to goodwill because 'you'd never be that skinny again'? Yeah, don't do that. Keep EVERYTHING until you have kids. Because  children can make your weight skyrocket then plummet. Its nuts really)

There are several ways you can go with a crop top, and some of them are slightly Selena Gomez, but since I am 30ish, we're going to go with a more Kate Hudson-esque approach. (See, she's like 40ish...and has 2 kids. This is totally fine, guys. Embrace it.)

1. Wear a slight crop, with a high waisted bottom. If you want to be more conservative wear a pant or a longer skirt like this.


Here, I paired the crop top with a pair of white jeans for a monochromatic look.



2. If you're feeling braver, you can pair it with a pair of cut offs, my personal favorite summer staple. (second only to my crop tops.) It gives this cool California vibe, and even at 28ish I still think its a fun look to rock.

(This Elizabeth and James tank is sold out, but here is a version of it that I love.)

Here is my version of that wearing the Endless Rose Sheer Crop top


This outfit *might* have gotten me carded at the Local Taco last week ...even with a baby on my hip. #teenmom #30what


 I purchased a white cropped cami from Asos (your destination for every style of crop top)



If you still are not totally into baring your midsection, consider pairing the Endless Rose Crop Top with a silk shell underneath.



3. Go crop top Glam. I *may* have worn a sequined crop top to a rehearsal dinner. Pregnant. Feeling brave? Here's how you do it.  Make the cropped portion your only revealed skin. (keep cleavage and leg baring to a minimum)





So now you're convinced right? The earth will keep spinning, and it's really not *that* scandalous, right? I mean it's not like you're wearing a Brazilian bikini, right? (so maybe thats also just me.)
