Maxi Skirt & Crop Top




















Outfit Details:
hat: Bebe (similar)
top: Asos
belt: BCBG MaxAzria (similar or similar)
shoes: Madden Girl
ring: Olytata

Spring is here and I am so ready to dust off all of my crop tops, maxi skirts and sandals! Here I kept the ensemble simple, top and skirt with the belt to tie them together. These sandals I also wore in Preparing for Spring, I absolutely love these! They are so comfortable and can be pared with a lot of different outfit pairings. 

If you are just catching up with my blog now, you will soon find out that I love crop tops! Now my bod is not in the shape to wear them with low rise pants or to show off my midriff [maybe one day ;) ]. So I use them to pair with high-waisted skirts and pants so that I don't have to deal with the bulk of tucking in a shirt. If you have ever suffered from this dilemma, go and get some for yourself and try them out! 

How do you wear your crop tops?

Preparing for Spring
















Outfit Details:
jacket: Cabi
crop top: Asos
shoes: Madden Girl
necklace: Via Nordstrom Rack
clutch: Hand Painted by Me
ring: from boutique in Hermosa Beach, California 

Who else is loving this amazing weather! I am dusting off my sandals and showing off my blinding legs here and I couldn't be happier. Even with the arrival of spring it can tend to be a bit chilly at times. This lightweight jacket is the perfect combo with this ensemble to keep off the chill and to add a urban edge to the look. 

The shoes I have on I got on major sale last fall so I wasn't able to wear them that much before the cold set in; so I can't wait to pair these with so many more outfits! They are extremely comfortable and add a great casual  tone to any dress or skirt combo. 

What pieces are you excited to wear this spring that you didn't get to last year?
