Rocked it & Swapped it

I'm so glad Kaitlyn has finally jumped on the crop top train, this opens a whole world of new swapping options. Yes, I have that many ;) I found this loose fitting black beauty at Nordstrom in early 2014. Since I have so many high-waist pants and skirts, it was the perfect addition to my collection.

I love the back, it has exposed gold buttons that go all the way up. Plus, the high-low hem really gives perfect coverage for those who don't want to bare too much midriff. Who knew a crop top that was bought as a trend piece for last year would still be in high rotation in my current wardrobe! Love when items end up working year after year. 

When I styled the top last year, I wore it with print high-waist silk pant, a wool floppy hat, fringe bag, and a long key necklace. This year, Kaitlyn styled it with lace trim navy shorts, a black bag, neutral flats, and a pendant triangle necklace (her full outfit post details coming next week!)

Here is how we both wore the crop top:

Rocked it & Swapped it

I fell in love with Kaitlyn's Target floral crop top the second I saw it on her. It was unlike anything I've seen in her closet before, which made me love it even more! It is super girly and when worn with it's matching skirt, the outfit was so romantic and beautiful.

When the girl you swap clothes with expands her style sense you get excited because then you get to wear said items and expand your style sense as well! 

Here is how we both styled the top:

 

I don't have tons of floral items in my closet. I don't have tons of pastel colors tops in my closet either, so mixing the two in one top was very fun and oddly more me then I expected.

I decided to mix the top up by separating it from the skirt (yep, she gave me both pieces in our latest swap) and paired it with some white denim. Since it is a crop top, I added a regular white tank under so my mid-drift was not hanging out. 

I finished the look off by adding very girly, simple jewelry and a great mint bag.
