~ Crop Tops ~

 I have a feeling that my past ‘review’ posts have been a little wishy-washy, so for this review i’m going to be a littlle more blunt. This post is about an item of clothing i am a big fan of – Crop Tops, personally i don’t own that many but there are reasons, as they can be worn ‘wrong’. I think that they work really well with highwaisted bottoms eg, shorts or jeans. as this allows you to get the crop top effect but without flashing too much flesh. They do tend to work better with shorter bottoms as it lengthens your body – but this isnt really an option with UK weather. They can be fun and dressed up or down- they also come in a huge variety of styles which allows them to be styled in many ways. Although there are some rules i like to follow- for example i don’t think they work with low rise bottoms, this can be too revealing and also makes them look a little ‘skanky’. No offence to larger women but i think you have to have a suitable body- im not saying you have to have a flat stomach but i think you should wear what flatters your body and suits you – or what ultimately makes you feel good! An example of how to wear a version of the crop top can be seen in the picture attatched- they can be used effectively to layer under other items.*( Apologies! since first publishing this post i have noticed that the picture does not show a crop top, but more of a bandeau type thing. Although i do like the image, so therefore i’ll keep it!)* The picture above is a rather small example but you can buy it in the shops now- (topshop). ~{Image features one of the new faces of topshop  s/s 13″ -the beautiful Rosie Tapner}.
