Yes, that’s right, several seasons after they came back in style, I’ve decided to try wearing a crop top:

And I’m wearing it in the only way I know how; with a high-waist, vintage skirt:

One reason I thrift so many midi skirts is that you can hike them up to your rib cage if needed. I hiked this one all the way up, so there is no gap between my waistline and the hemline of my top:

I know a sliver of skin can be an effective way to combat the inherent boxiness of crop tops, and is considered on-trend, but not where I work. In fact, there was a minor kerfuffle the other day over bare ankles (not mine), so, yeah, a sliver of skin is not happening.
