Current Obsessions

If you're a normal girl and not a stick skinny model the idea of crop tops probably made you feel sick.

Really, who can pull off a short and tight crop top and tight pencil skirt? 

Models I tell you that's who.

I love that look, but I am no model.

However, crop tops CAN be for anyone!

The key is to picking what you are comfortable with and what you like.

Don't want to show your midriff?

Opt for a crop top that isn't too short and pair it with something high waisted.

I paired this loose fitting crop top with a high waisted Midi skirt.

 

 

 

 

You could also pair it with a high waisted maxi skirt, pants or a pencil skirt.

There are also a lot of different textures and styles of crop tops out there.

If you don't want a tight one, there are plenty of very loose flow ones that would look great with something tighter on the bottom like a pencil skirt.

There are also sweater crop tops, ones covered with embellishemtns, knit tops and so much more.

(Put a button down underneath a knit crop top for a very stylish look)

So many ways to wear these tops.

This trend isn't just for models..

 

 

The midi skirt... what is there to say about it?

Very 50's? Modest? Only for tall people?........uhhhh  and so CHIC!

The midi skirt has been everywhere!

This mid length skirt has been all over Zara, H&M, TopShop and so much more.

Pleated ones, colorful ones, graphic ones... lots of options.

I think they are great for spring and summer!

Wear them with a t shirt or blouse tucked in or a cropped sweater is one of my favorite looks.

If you can pull of a tight crop top, go for it I think that look is amazing.

Its got a kind of retro vibe and to me its just cool.

Its not sexy... but its chic.

 

 

 

 

My last favorite trend right now is wearable art.



Very graphic designs.

High end designers are even literally putting famous paintings on clothes and bags.

I like it.

I think for the commoner like myself though, graphic designs are a little more wearable than the actually Mona Lisa.

Go for strong lines, primary colors whatever tickles your fancy.
