I'm into crop tops again. The last time I was into crop tops, I was in high school. It was the late 90's, and I was heavily influenced by Britney Spears's style leanings. Don't deny it, we all loved our low rise jeans and those little tee shirts with happy faces, dragons and/or witty sayings. I would bend over and half my bottom (such a mom word right there...) would show and my mom would remark on it and I would respond that it really wasn't my fault because I was soooo tall and no shirts could ever possibly cover my torso. And then, in a moment of teenage anger at my parents, I would pierce my belly button, and afraid of getting caught, I suddenly found longer shirts. That was the end of the crop top for me.
This time around, I like my crop tops with zero happy faces on them and I wear them with anything high waisted. It's much more... demure? Also more flattering, low rise jeans are nobody's friend.
In other news, I'm not hiding piercings from my parents any more. Adult life is happening.
P.S. Thanks to my bro Henk and to Julie for the pics. If I hadn't gone on about crop tops in this post, I would have yammered on, once again, about how awesome vintage is... Because really...

Aw. Beeeeautiful, Yen! You look awesome. Adore the whole crop top look, and agreed, it's so lovely when paired with a high waisted skirt or pant. Hope your Monday is off to a great start! xo
Crop tops are so much better this time around eh? I feel so old remembering a trend when it came around the first time!

I never stopped loving crop tops!
But in the 50's way, not the late 90s way. I *cringe* so hard at pictures of the low rise/short tee trend - not only outdated but it SERIOUSLY did weird things to the body. Like, really long torso wee little legs.
love your pretty top!

I love it! You're wearing my favorite combo of the moment...cropped tops and midi skirts! I've mentioned that combo on my blog a few times...but have yet to wear it...I'm not quite sure where/when it would be appropriate for a stay at home mom to wear a cropped top...I'm in serious need of a date night or girls night out...cuz I don't think it'll fly at play group!! haha
So instead I just sit here and stare at your pictures in envy!!!
That first photo is adorable!
I like your crop top!

You look so cute! If you've got the stomach (or lack thereof) to pull of crop tops, go for it! The high-waisted skirt keeps it from being trash. I cannot get over how amazing those heels are!

I'm loving the crop top on other people, but haven't quite gotten the courage yet to try it myself. And, you and Julie are just way too cute.
