Who cranked up the heat in this city?! It’s been hot. Really, really hot. While the heat makes my non-air conditioned apartment almost unbearable, I don’t mind because summer is for spending all your time outside anyways.
As the great outdoors currently channels the climate of a South American rainforest, one needs to dress accordingly. And so I brought out a tribal printed cropped top. If you’re like me, you initially looked at crop tops with apprehension and memories of year-2000 pop stars navels. But, my dears, there is a solution. Simply hike your skirt up a bit & you’ll transform your look from teeny-bopper to age-appropriate chic.
Tribal prints carry themselves, so I paired my top with a simple flowy skirt, hemp-soled shoes and a pop of red to play up the outfit’s more playful side. And then I danced around the city like the native Midwestern I am.

You are the cutest! I’ll admit, I’m staying pretty far from the crop top trend–I just can’t pull it off–but I LOVE it on other people.
so adorable!
totally rocking the cropped top.

Seriously adorable! I bought a crop top from Forever21 and have been too self conscious to wear it – apparently I just needed to also buy a flowy skirt at the same time so I could pair them together!! Love the pop of color in that burnt orange purse!
