Yup, you’ve guessed it- it’s cropping season! For the next installment of my [How To Wear] series I’m taking on the crop top. But, no fear- it doesn’t have to be a daunting task. This season there are countless ways to rock ’em. I’ll start out with the first: pair your itty-bitty top with slouchy, comfortable pants.

The result is a super chic and well-balanced look: a lil on the top + a whole lot on the bottom = effortless style.

Plus, did I mention the comfy-appeal? On this Spring day, I decided to go with neutral-esque tones and then… BAM- spice things up with a jolt of yellow by way of my Khirma Eliazov clutch- a special gift from Khirma herself : ). The top is Zara and the pants are Elizabeth + James- which the Refinery29 team gifted me at my TJ Maxx shoot! Love them!

Zara crop top / Eizabeth + James pants / Steve Madden heels (love these and these!) / Khirma Eliazov clutch / American Apparel shades / H+M ear cuff / Curlsistas Bossgal + Cupid’s Arrow midi rings

Lipstick: MAC Magenta lipliner + Makeup Forever #36 lipstick 

What do you ladies think? Are you thinking of cropping it up this Spring/Summer?

Stay tuned for the 2nd crop top look tomorrow!
