Crop it right
Summer is here, so why not show some skin? Crop tops are one of my favorite things to wear for the summer. It's one of my go to items. I definitely use it for all occasions. It can be worn to dinner, beach, movies, a date, and even graduation. I know you’re probably saying to yourself, how? The key is to crop it right!!!!! Make it fun and cute. There are five steps for wearing a crop top.
First is to pick a length- crop tops come in all lengths. Some are longer than usual and there are some that are very short. Get the length that best fits you. Depending on your torso whether it's short or long there is one for everyone.
Secondly pick your bottoms wisely- your crop top is your core piece depending on what bottom you pick. It can either break or make your outfit. I can tell you that you are not limited, but there are some things that should never be done. Crop tops can be worn with high waisted skirts, high waisted pants or cute linen pants. I myself never limited my bottoms with my crop tops. It seems like I have worn them with everything.
Third is knowing you can definitely layer, layer, and layer some more. I'm not really a fan of showing my stomach but some people are and that's fine. Some might say that’s the purpose of a crop top. I have layered almost every crop top that I have put on. It's fun and it adds spark to your outfit. Some might ask what shirts do I use for layers? Well, you can use tanks or camis that are thin and it really doesn't matter what color. If you don’t want to show your stomach but want that look, a nude tank is cute also or you can have a plain crop and add a colored tank that pops. That bright color would make the outfit be so funky.
Fourth is making sure you crop it appropriate for the venue- crop tops come in different materials, satin, cotton, and even silk. Pick the appropriate one for the occasion. Don't limit yourself to a cotton one for a dressy occasion. That's why the designers now are giving you other options. I don't think your family member or friend that invited you to their graduation would accept you wearing a crop top that you would probably wear at the beach. So let's be wise.
Lastly, let's outfit- Time to put it all together. Get your glass of Barefoot Moscato out, take out your iPod, get your accessories out make sure you have your core piece (crop top), your blazer, your bottom whichever one you’re going to put on for this occasion and get ready to step out and CROP IT RIGHT!!!!!
