Really, I just like saying “Top Shop crop top”.
Liz, Chelsea, + I got together the other day to style this striped top three different ways. As usual, we shared some treats (thanks to my Aunt Cindy and Chelsea for making them!) while we tried on different looks and took photos to share with you.
Here’s what we came up with:

I got this tee while I was in London last summer visiting my dear friend Chanel, and I literally wear it all the time. It’s so versatile because of its basic colours, but it’s not boring because of the shape. I usually hate wearing tee-shirts because they make me feel frumpy, but this one encourages me to think outside of the box.

This is such a classic look. I can definitely picture myself wearing this high-waisted shorts/crop top combo while going out to run errands or something of that sort. Chelsea is letting the boxy shape of the tee and the slouchy shoulders speak for itself — it’s comfy, cute, and at the same time a little punk-y.
I really regret not getting a close-up of the necklace she was wearing. It was a section of a reindeer antler that her Dad brought home from Finland! So neat!

I love getting all dolled up and girly {don’t let my blog fool you, though, most days I don’t even change out of my pajamas}, so I really feel like this look is me. The little collar in this outfit was a complete accident — I just threw the tee-shirt on over a collared romper to show the girls how it fit, but I really love it and I’m thinking I’ll make some detachable collars to sell in my shop to share the look with you!
For the rest of the ensemble, I tucked the tee into a high waisted skirt, belted it so my waist didn’t disappear, poked out the little peter pan collar, and added a touch of colour with my cardigan. My boots helped to match the brown in my belt, and the tights {yet again} added some texture to the look. Can you tell we love patterned tights?
This look would be cute for a coffee shop date. Makes me want to sit in a cafe window and watch passersby while sipping a seasonal blend!

Liz put together the perfect outfit for a play date with little ones! It’s easy to move in and layered, so if she got too hot teaching her niece to do cartwheels, she’d be prepared.
This look was a fun experiment in rule breaking! With an eclectic edge, she mixed and matched patterns and foundation colours that people usually avoid putting together. Black, navy, gray, and brown all in one outfit? No problem! She totally made it work.
And then we sat down to devour some sweets.

Thanks for sharing this second edition of How We Wore It! Our next item to style is a fashion staple that typically gets layered over, so it’ll be a bit more of a challenge to make it different. I can’t wait to see what we all come up with!
How would you wear this striped crop top?
