Style || Midriff Baring – The Crop Top.

I still remember the crop top craze of the year 2014, when you couldn’t look anywhere without spotting someone in one. The red carpets didn’t make it any easier – with celebrities rocking the trend left, right, front and center.  Though it was one trend I was digging, I somehow didn’t manage to get sucked too deeply into it – as evident by my lack of crop top looks on the blog (that is, except for this one, this one and this too. Oh and this one too )

Okay, maybe I ought to take back that statement. Ha ha.
I guess I infact did get sucked into it also. But I stayed on the safe end of the crop top scale variation – the not so tight fitted or cropped type that just flashes a bit of flesh when you happen to raise your hands.

This is my first time going full on midriff baring and I never thought I would love it quite as much as I enjoyed wearing this outfit. I actually loved it so much that the first statement I typed when I first started writing this post was “I need more of this type of crop top! NEED!”

I got this top at Ross when I traveled, despite my aunt advising me otherwise – saying how I wouldn’t be able to wear it out of my father’s house (knowing the type of father I have. Ha ha) but I knew it was going to come in handy and it was going to be my first “sexy girl” crop top, so I stuck to my guns.

I decided to pair it with black pants, a hat and coloured shoes to break off the “all black” look. I wore this to Desiree’s store launch the other other weekend – I blogged about that here. I’m going to try layering it over a white shirt next. 

I’ll be hosting the auction at the NFBYardsale tomorrow! Between you and I? My introverted self wants to push it all away because I’m not exactly fun or hyper. But I’m lowkey looking forward to it all tomorrow though. I hope to get to see some of you as well!
Right now, I’m just trying to finally decide on what to wear tomorrow. An all white outfit (crop top (he he) and pleated skirt combo) , something casual ( denim ), or another retroish inspired look (pencil skirt and waist coat)
