Crop Tops



I wore this outfit to an early dinner with a couple of friends. The food was horrific, but the company was amazing!



 Blouse: Forever 21
Shorts: Rachel Roy
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Wallet (used as clutch): DSW
Earrings: Vintage
Bracelet: Ralph Lauren
Sunglasses: Edward Beiner






 I've got my green for St. Patty's day! I did this manicure all by my lonesome using Sally Hansen's Jumpin Jade Insta-Dry nail polish. This was my first time trying it and I must say that I am impressed. I did the quickest paint job ever, ran out of the door, and by the time I made it to my car - my nails were dry.




I fell in love with this Forever 21 top as soon as I laid eyes on it. The only issue was that this top is technically a crop top. Instead of passing up on such a classic shirt at such an amazing price, I decided to buy the shirt one size bigger than I normally would. This gives me a little extra length and actually works well with high-waisted bottoms. I figured out that, for me, pairing a crop top with a high-waisted bottom eliminates the extra bulk or creasing that may occur with a longer shirt. Now the only issue is that I can't really reach up too high unless I want to revive the Girls Gone Wild series. But, I'm willing to take the risk LOL. 

It's Friday Lovelies! Make it a great one!

  1. What a great idea! I am not big on crop tops for me, but I love them on other people. This top is perfect on you though. I love shear tops so much! And these leather shorts are a great edgy touch. Enjoy your weekend!

  15. Jilly! What an AWESOME idea. Crop tops aren't as flattering on curvy girls and so a lot of time i jsut pass them up but this is an awesome idea. Next time I see a cute crop shop, I'm pairing it with some high waisted pants. Awesome awesome idea! <3 it.
