When the weather gets hot like this, it becomes too annoying to wear anything that is constricting or heavy. That's why crop tops are the perfect item of clothing for this time of year. I find that crop tops can sometimes be hard to pair, so I decided to show a few options that I usually pair with the crop top I made recently.
The first thing to remember when wearing a crop top is to pair it with something that's high-waisted. It could really be anything: a skirt, pants, whatever you'd like. For the purposes of this outfit, I chose to put the top with this really adorable black and white polka dot skirt from (once again) Urban Outfitters. This outfit has kind of a retro feel to it, between the polka dot skirt (with a lower hemline than most skirts I wear) and the mary janes-which actually have a little wedge heel even though you can't really see it in this photo.
Also, if you are interested in making a top like this, it's really easy!! Since I just needed a shirt pattern that went to my waist, I took a pattern for a peplum top and just used the top piece, not the actual peplum piece. Innovative, right?
