Crop Tops for Days

Dare to bare in this week’s trend, the ultra fabulous crop top! Crop tops are everywhere this season and at first, I must admit I was a little nervous about them, but now I am in love and cannot get enough. I try to incorporate a crop top into as many ensembles as possible, which is tricky (and not quite appropriate) considering the dress code at my office is business casual. But I digress, I fully appreciate the initial hesitation with crop tops, but this trend is a summer must that I encourage everyone to experiment with. There are different levels of midriff to bare and so many looks that can be achieved with this trend. Make it your own and have fun with it!

I absolutely need this top for my Hawaii trip! If you know where I can find it let me know!

Bold prints and crop tops are an unbeatable combo

The 90s Revisited

As I’m sure you have noticed, the 90s are back in a big way! Fashion recycles and borrows from previous decades paying homage to the past while looking forward by changing accents, modernizing silhouettes, altering hemlines, and updating fabrics. All of which is done in an attempt to keep things fresh and fashion moving forward, however in a bizarre way fashion is just as much about its regression as it is about progression. Everywhere I turn now all I see is 90s! Cropped tops, acid wash, flannel, and ripped jeans dominate street style, which are all staples of the 90s fashion. I must admit the 90s had its fair share of fashion disasters, but I am excited for the 90s do-ver. What about you, do you think these trends deserve revisiting?
