Outfit Idea of the Day: Crop Top

 The surprise trend I'm loving this summer is the crop top. If you asked me 6 months ago if I would wear a crop top I would have replied with disgust "no way." I was in Macy's one day and tried a hippie-ish looking crop top and fell in love. It flirted with the top of my skinny jeans so my midriff was not showing (which is golden since I will not be going bare midriff). Last week I bought an animal print one at T.J. Maxx and so I thought I would share how I would wear a crop top.

Everyone should own some leopard in their wardrobe as it is a classic, bold print that never goes out of favor. I'm loving this cute side tie crop with these higher waist shorts. Sexy and classy.

These tough and edgy wedges will add an unexpected sexy element that will pull everything together nicely.

Gold with black and leopard is heaven to me. This necklace is a little tribal and very modern. This would even be great with a plain t-shirt!

I am very much loving the mixing of prints trend that is still hot right now. This bag has edge of it's own and the tribal-esque print with the blue is so beautiful.
