I love maxi dresses and skirts for the spring and summer. They are low maintenance and very comfortable. The best part about them is that you can get them in a variety of colors, prints, and fabrics. Now I think I’m getting a little too old for crop tops. I know some people may say there isn’t an age limit on croptops, but I would have to respectfully disagree. I actually own a few crop tops but I either wear them with a pair of high-waisted jeans or shorts, or a high-waisted skirt, unless I’m at the beach. Sometimes I may put on a cute cami and people are like what’s the point. As you get older your fashion focus starts to change. I try not to buy crop tops that are too cropped if you know what I mean. If it looks like it could be a bra or that my bra shows underneath, I don’t buy it. I still love the look, but I try to make it fit my style.

What to Wear: Maxi and Crop Tops

Many people shy away from crop tops because of their figure. I once did as well because i don’t feel like I had a “crop top friendly” belly, but with a pair of high-waist shorts or pants, or a high-waist skirts they are now appropriate for those without flat stomachs (yayyyy).

 

Crop tops have returned and can be seen everywhere at the moment.  From runways, to celebrities to daily street style, crop tops have taken over!

In the past crop tops have gotten a bad rep for being a tad too revealing and “trashy”, however designers this season really put an elegant  and modern twist on the crop top and I am loving the femininity of them.  I also believe that styling is a major key on how to wear the crop top without giving off that “half naked” inappropriate look.

My favorite way to wear a crop top would definitely be with a high waisted skirt – sexy, with a little skin out but still ultra lady-like.

Of course, crop tops are still revealing so make sure you have that mid-section on point Ladies!

What to Wear: Crop Tops

 

 

Will you ladies be wearing crop tops?

 

Last week Trey Songz premiered the video for his latest single “Heart Attack” with Kelly Rowland as his leading lady. In the video the two have AMAZING chemistry. I wouldn’t be mad if they actually became a couple. So of course I noticed the great fashion in the video. Although the amount of scenes were minimal, Kelly looked amazing in all of them.

Two of my favorite looks were the orange jumpsuit and the crop top with the black leather pants. Here are some options to get the look like Kelly Rowland.
