Two for one...

For my 4th installment of the Big Fat Summer Challenge (click the link for the full challenge info) I wanted to "Wear a cropped top". I was nervous about this one, until I became inspired by Kim over at Naturally Fashionable. The idea to wear a high waisted bottom with the cropped top, was genius if you ask me! It made me much more comfortable with the whole concept. Thanks Kim!! =D This bottom also qualifies as my entry for #5, because its a maxi skirt. Done and done. Technically, I could make this a 6th entry as well because the skirt is high-waisted, but I won't because I have something else in mind for that. Stay tuned ;)


Now, in the spirit of being totally honest, I must say that I wasn't really feeling this outfit as a whole. The top and skirt came together nicely, but in my haste to wear my new shoes (don't judge me), I think I wore them prematurely with this outfit. I promised myself to have more control and do better next time.

Until next time...







Top - Target
Skirt - Stella Blu (neighborhood boutique)
Shoes - Madden Girl - DSW

    Great idea! I certainly shied away from cropped tops, but this is a cool option for rocking one. Love the look!
