Never thought I’d be a crop-top wearer, but looky here: I am. Not quite ready to bare my midriff, but find that throwing a cropped top over a simple dress creates some fun proportions and cute layers. Lots of dresses out there with layered looks to them, but re-creating the look can be cheaper: If you don’t own crop tops, consider cropping and hemming an old tee. Mix and match with various dresses.
This necklace was a gift from the lovely folks at Mark Defrates, and is the same compass star shape you may have seen tattooed on my foot. (No? Here you go.) It’s a symbol I’ve loved for a long time since it represents guidance, but also self-reliance. Helps, too, that it’s just plain cool looking.

To be honest, I think your tattoo makes the outfit! The pieces are all cool, but the ink really ties it all together, imo.
Layering a crop top over a dress is such a good idea!
Love this simple yet chic look.

I love this look — the layering and the booties, especially! Will have to try this crop top option!!
I love this outfit and it’s perfect with a bit of tattoo peeking out. Like you, I do not wish to bare my midriff but I like cropped tops. I like a short of long effect and so I use layers. Cutting off a tee shirt does work well and I have done that successfully. Maybe it’s time to revive the Flashdance look 😉
Oh, this is great. Seriously chic and tough and cool all at once. Love!
Thank you very much Sally! We make our jewelry by hand and to order and it’s all symbolic! Fun!
Your tattoo + those booties + that entire outfit = so on point. I cannot even stand it.
