One of my favorite trends this year has definitely been the crop top. I'm not sure if it's because I went to high school during the Britney Spears era or I'm just a Florida girl at heart. Either way, I hope this trend stays around for a while. A lot of my friends will tell me that a crop top is not for them or that they can't pull it off, but I strongly disagree. If a pregnant Kerry Washington can do it, anyone can! The key is proportions. If you're going to wear a crop top, I recommend higher waisted bottoms so you are only showing a silver of skin (in the most flattering area - your natural waist). For a crop top look that is feminine without coming across too scandalous, pair with a full midi skirt or trouser pants. The proportion in length and looseness keeps it classy yet modern. And bonus - it makes your waist look teeny-tiny! Here are a few ways I've worn a crop top.
