If you're familiar with The Bachelorette (let's be real, who hasn't gotten sucked in yet?), then I'm sure you've noticed that JoJo really likes her crop tops; whether she pairs them with denim jean shorts or a midi skirt, she seems to sneak one in every episode. They're made for everything from working out to going out to wearing at the beach. I personally love a good crop top in the summer as well, but I wear them a little more sparingly. When I was at Forever 21 about a month ago, I saw this pale pink lace crop top and snatched it up right away. The high neck combined with the scalloped lace at the bottom gives off such a feminine vibe, and really balances out a bare stomach. My personal rule with crop tops is that if you're already showing your stomach to the world, the rest of your top should lean a little more conservative. I paired mine with flowy floral pants (also from Forever 21) to create a summery boho look. Throw on a neutral colored wool floppy hat and you're ready for Saturday brunch or an afternoon shopping trip in the city. This is also a great festival outfit, but be careful of others stepping on the bottom of your pants - I'm 5'10" and these pants still drag a bit! Not a fan of the pants? Swap them out for a maxi skirt to create a similar effect. Happy shopping loves! xoxo
