Crop Circles

The summer season is the best time of the year to bring out your fun floral and tropical prints. Bright and fun patterns help to compensate for the insanely high temperatures, it helps to aid your mind wander away from thinking about how warm and humid it actually is. Even if it's only for five minutes! Another way I like to beat the heat, is by wearing crop tops, why wear a full shirt when you can wear half of one, in 90 degree weather?!

Crop tops are a season staple, and paired correctly they can be very fashion forward and not trampy! I always wear my crops with something high waisted, ie pants, shorts or skirts. This combination shows just the right amount skin and keeps the look classy. I'm all for keeping it feminine! With my ensemble, I paired my crop with a vintage midi skirt I found a few years ago. Silk, flowy and airy, the perfect words for simple summer dressing! 

Midi skirts are the perfect length for the vertically challenged chicas, I've really grown to love them. I used to believe it was an awkward length but then one fine day I tried one on and have been in love with it since! Midi skirts are not too short to make your family feel uncomfortable at family rendezvous, and not too long to make you look like you need stilts to wear them!
