I have seen countless posts from style bloggers wearing a cropped top. They all look adorable and I hate them for it. Kidding. Well, kind of kidding. I believe I am not only well past the age of cropped tops, but also far from having a toned, exposed mid-section.
Dress: Target (similar here and here) // Top: Forever 21 // Vest: Forever 21 (similar here and exact in another color) // Heels: Zara (similar here) // Clutch: Outrage Fashion c/o // Necklace: Lilac Bijoux c/o // Bracelets: Cathryn Ann Designs c/o // Glasses: Forever 21
I picked up this leopard top at Forever 21 a few months back, also seen here, and thought it was long enough to wear with most bottoms. Come to find out, it really only works with high waist pants or in this case, layered over a dress.
I came so close to taking it back because even a showing small peek of my tummy is a personal no-go.
After some styling and clothes flinging in the air, I pulled this cropped sweater over my black dress and started to like what I saw. Hey, no skin showing this time. Then came the leather vest and a few layers later this look was created.
One of my favorite things about fall and winter is being able to layer my clothes. It's fun to stack pieces on top of one another and come up different style combinations. With my shopping ban still in full effect, remixing a few of my favorite pieces has been key.
What's also key is adding a pop of dazzle and sparkle to finish off a look. In this case it was a statement necklace from Lilac Bijoux. The jewel tone colors and design scream fall. It ties the whole look together and took a leopard top and edgy leather vest to a feminine and classy level.
Today, my sweet friends over at Lilac Bijoux are giving away the same necklace I am wearing today to one lucky reader. Make sure to hop on over to their website and take a look at all the other pieces they have to offer. A few of my favorites; everything from Loren Hope, a crown ring for all my princess friends and this adorable Mud Pie bow bangle.
