Hi everyone!

I have a mini-haul from SWAK Designs that I have been styling up on my blog and this is the last outfit from my haul. Crop tops are the best thing that have happened to me and I really enjoy this particular style!

SWAK Designs Belinda Crop Tank in Royal, 1x

ASOS Curve pencil skirt in Abstract Print, size 20

Gold ball earrings, Ready To Stare

Light Denim heels, Rubi

I think it is pretty safe to stay, one of my go-to looks has got to be a printed pencil skirt and a plain top. Its perfect for the climate I live in and it never fails to serve up style! read more

Gracey Wears: A Crop Top

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. read more

Dressed for: Fringe Fun

by Sally on August 12, 2015 in the category: outfits

Tank – Topshop via Nordstrom
Skirt – T Party – same in wine – short version – similar look
Sandals – Antelope (no longer available) – similar
Bag – Sharo – same in tan – similar
Bracelets – Max & Chloe
Earrings – thrifted – similar

Let me tell you, friends, this jersey knit fringe skirt is super fun to wear. The asymmetric fringe swishes furiously when I walk and does a decent amount of ankle-tickling in the process. I’m hoping it’ll work with boots and sweaters in the fall, too, though all ankle-tickling properties will be lost then. read more
