High Waisted Bottoms

I would not be caught dead in a crop top without high waisted bottoms. Truthfully, I am very modest and feel the most comfortable when my midriff is covered. If you can relate, the easiest way to dress a crop top is by pairing it with high waisted bottoms. Whether in the form of shorts, pants, or a skirt, they will all get the job done. Style Tip: “High waisted” means different things to different retailers. Before venturing out for the perfect coordinate, pack the shirt in your purse.

Top it Off

Now that you have the whole cropped thing figured out, if you are feeling uneasy about the sheer fabric, begin with a lace bralette. If you can find one the same color as the top, that is ideal, but nude will also work. After trying many, this convertible bralette from Macy’s is my all-time favorite. If your admirers can see what’s under there, you might as well make it something pretty to look at! For added coverage, top off your ensemble with a vest or cape. Slowly but surely working fall pieces into my looks, I topped this outfit off with a fur vest.

Feminize

I’ve said it once and I am saying it again, feminine details make all the difference. Pearls are my go-to but pops of pink or a dainty purse will all have the same affect. I chose the latter, and rocked a turquoise Chanel bag.  Now do you believe me when I say, sheer and cropped do not have to be racy?!

Yes! Another shirt to add to my wardrobe of dresses, rompers, skirts, and jumpsuits. When I first laid eyes on this top, 1970’s fashions immediately came to mind. The bell sleeves are oh so groovy and the serene color is perfect for the spring. Aside from it’s funky features, the fit is tailored and flattering on all shapes and sizes. For only $50 have yourself a fabulous piece that will coordinate well with flare jeans, palazzo pants, cutoff shorts, etcetera.

I paired this blue beauty with a woven skirt creating a fun throwback look! The multicolor pattern reminds me of retro upholstery and the frayed hem adds a playful element. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, when you are working with a statement piece, such as this top, simplicity is key. That is why I did not go overboard with accessories. I simply embellished the look with a boho tassel necklace and blue denim wedge sandals. Is it ironic that I have the song, “shake your groove thing” stuck in my head as I am writing this?!

I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered Just Black, by Just USA, at Current Clothing. This line of jeans offers extraordinarily comfortable fashions at a very affordable price point. When I came across these high-waisted bell bottoms, there was no looking back! Only 5 feet tall, I take advantage of any “hack” that I can for an elongated appearance. These pants, my friends, will do just that! I paired these bottoms with a fitted off the shoulder top for a polished look and accessorized with a fringe statement necklace and flash lens sunglasses. If this doesn’t demonstrate the importance of accessorizing, I don’t know what does! Undoubtedly, the necklace makes the outfit.

Speaking of summer sales, this black and blue mini dress from Urban Outfitters is marked down to $39.99 online, and ten dollars less in stores. Featuring a “mock-neck” and keyhole back, this little thing has a lot of personality. For last night’s San Francisco Fashion Week event, I rocked it with my brand new Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots. I polished off the look with black statement earrings, a high pony (thanks to be ladies at The Red Chair Salon) and a bright pink lip. If this doesn’t scream 1970’s I don’t know what does!

These boots are made for walkin’…after trying on countless knock-offs, only to be disappointed by the fit, I can say with confidence that these boots are worth every penny. Just like a new computer, camera, or any other high ticket item, designer fashions are an investment. After wearing these stunners for five hours straight, straight off of the shelf, my feet were 100 percent pain-free. If you’ve been contemplating a pair of SW boots, do yourself a favor and buy them. You won’t regret it and they fit like a glove. A reliable look for less is the Steve Madden Gorgeous OTK boot – they run large – size down one full size.
