The Cut

If you shy away from white jeans for the reasons above, closely consider the cut. For example, I avoid white skinny jeans like the plague. Instead, I gravitate towards: flare, bootcut, or straight leg jeans. The taper at the knee takes tension off of the thighs, leaving you with a smooth upper half. This tassel hem pair is the perfect hybrid of skinny and straight.

Length of Top

If you’re squeamish at the thought of white pants, the length of your top makes all the difference. Make sure it is long enough to cover your lady parts. I stick with tunics or tops with asymmetrical tail hems. The added back coverage makes me feel more comfortable in my skin (literally and figuratively)! This stunner by Alice and Trixie, for example, provides me moderate front and back coverage. Try something like this and let me know what you think.

Wear it Like You Own it

Finally, take this opportunity to pledge that you’ll never say, “I can’t pull that off” ever again! It literally makes me sad when I get comments from people saying, “I love your outfit but I could never pull that off.” You can pull off anything as long as you do it with confidence! Remember that the next time your shopping for white jeans!

Having a petite frame, I’m always cautious when it comes to one-size articles, but between the helpful product reviews and measurements, and the $13.29 price tag, I decided to give this one a go. Upon receiving it, I was pleasantly surprised that it fit just fine. Maybe it would be more of a crop top on someone taller, but I like that it hits just below the natural waistline. I went the casual route for this outing, and matched this beauty with neon green denim shorts. Following along with the tribal print theme, I laced up my gladiator wedges, and polished off the look with wooden bangles and earrings.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed this colorful daytime look, the next time I rock this top, I’ll style it for a night on the town. Think black denim and patent leather pumps.

This yellow skirt is everything! The high-waisted fit helps balance out the bodycon silhouette, while the thick material sucks you in – keeping you from feeling overexposed. Never mind the hemline and awesome price point ($59)…while it doesn’t take much to complete a look with such a fabulous starting point, I styled this skirt with a black top this time around. Hardly your average black top, this pretty is what I would call a crop and crochet hybrid shirt! The top half looks like a black cutout crop top while the bottom half features an intricate crochet design. If the black is too racy for you, you’ll be happy to hear it is also available in white ($54). I accessorized lightly with this outfit because I did not want to take away from the garments themselves. I simply threw on a black cocktail ring, grabbed my black and white plaid clutch and my favorite Chinese Laundry dress sandals, and caked on some red lipstick.

I had the hardest time finding an ivory or white crop top that would do this skirt justice. When you are working with a gorgeous statement piece like this wrap skirt, you cannot just throw on a cotton-knit sleeveless shirt and call it a day. While it took a little bit of digging, when I came across the Nyella Banded Bra Top at BCBG, I knew it was a winner! I love how clean cut it looks yet the banded crisscross front and the cutout lower back add just enough edge. Although feeling a bit bashful with an exposed midsection, I had to get over it. You can still look elegant in a crop top – it just has to be paired with the right bottom. According to the KK and GG handbook, as long as your bellybutton is concealed, and your lower half is suited up in a lady-like garment, you have nothing to worry about. In this case, the ultra feminine silhouette of the skirt and the charming periwinkle hue balanced out the fit of the top. Anyway, I accessorized the look with a pink and blue necklace, pearl rings, and blue lace-up shoes. I polished off the ensemble with a gold box clutch and a bright pink lip.

What occasion do you have coming up where a midi skirt and crop top would be the appropriate attire?!
