Dressing in dresses, rompers, jumpsuits, and skirts 24/7 is simply unrealistic. So how does a gal like me incorporate tops into her wardrobe? Allow me to explain. When I am top huntin’ I keep an eye out for “basics with a twist.” I will always choose the white shirt with a ruffle embellishment over a plain pocket tee. I will buy the sheer top with puff sleeves over a fitted bodysuit. AND I will always buy the high-low top or shirt with an asymmetrical hemline! Do you see where I am going with this?!

Whenever I walk into a clothing store I make it a point to peruse the tops section. In fact, when I am with my mom I say, “do not let me leave the store without trying on or buying a shirt!” You can probably imagine my excitement when I laid eyes on this not so average high-low top! The color is dazzling, the fit is great (even for a five footer!), and the material is extremely resilient. I think we can all appreciate a low maintenance garment that hardly wrinkles. Now this is the kind of “jeans and a shirt” outfit I am genuinely excited to wear! Are you a top and bottom wearer, or do you prefer dresses and skirts too?!

In the ensemble below, I paired my red fur vest with a black high-waisted midi skirt (available at Current Clothing but similar here). I find high-waisted bottoms particularly flattering for petite women. They do not cut off our already short torsos! Instead, they hit in just the right place (if you live in a colder climate, try high-waisted vegan leather pants). Although any black top would work, I decided to tuck in a champagne blouse (available at Current Clothing but similar here) for some variation. With champagne being in the same color family as gold, I could get away with using a leopard print purse and I like the fur and fur thing. To polish off this look, I threw on my suede and leather peep-toe booties (on sale for under $60!). Again, any black shoe would be a-ok, but when you are styling faux leather and fur, why not go for an edgy look? Plus, the more mixed media, the better.
