The boyish crop top

For tonight's post I am going to talk about the crop top. Although a lot of people don't consider it a basic, for me, it is. Not only because it's a really strong trend, but also it's very versatile and easy to wear.

 There are a bunch of crop top styles, some of them are flattering some aren't. The key to find the perfect one, is to know your own body. Personally the ones that fit me great are the ones that are really fitted to my body, or the ones that are a little over-sized. Because I'm busty I can not wear those that have a lot of embellishment or flares. They make me look heavy and squared.

 

For this look I chose a boyish crop top, it's like a regular t-shirt, so it's not to over- sized. To add sassiness to the look, I mixed with a neoprene, tropical print skirt. (This kinds of skirts are amazing, they fit great and go with almost everything.)

I wet to the zoo that day, so I really needed comfy shoes. I decided to wore my Pony sneakers, although at the end of the day I realized they weren't so comfy after all..

This was how I mixed and matched my boyish crop top. It was an easy going look, with an effortless vibe of course.

Metals, blossoms and bees.

Last Saturday I had to attend  a wedding ceremony. It was officiated during midday, in one of the most beautiful churches here in Guatemala.

I must say, I truly dislike going to weddings. It's a personal thing.. But,  I like being polite, so if I'm invited, I'll go. Probably I'll break some dress code rules, cause let's face it: they're just boring and sometimes absurd!

For this look I decided to wear a two piece set dress. Although it was a cropped top, the pencil skirt was high waisted, so I didn't show my stomach.
I went for a long sleeve top with crew neck and a knee length pencil skirt. (this was me being polite, following the rules.) But I chose a bold, yet feminine print. (this was me being naughty, breaking the rules.)

I wanted to keep the glamour, but I also wanted to add some edge to the outfit. So I wore this fabulous metallic sandals with cutouts. I just love how much they add to any outfit I wear with them.

To add a little more edge in a feminine way, I wore this pretty bee long earrings, with a low pony tail. I chose a simple black leather clutch cause I felt I had mixed enough textures and colors already.

This is how I created this edgy yet appropriate look for a wedding day. For me it worked, I felt comfortable and satisfied with it. Plus, I received great compliments!

Mixing Prints

Continuing with the "10 thing to try this month" theme, tonight I'm going to write about how I dared myself to mix prints.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of prints, I like them but I don't wear them in the daily bases, so this was a kind of a hard challenge for me!

For this look I chose  my favorite printed skirts, it has a neon tropical print. I usually wear it with black pieces (I love to wear black) but this time, I chose to wear it whit a stripe print crop top.

It was a "meant to be" combination, it looked perfect! I added a denim jacket to finish it, so the look wouldn't be to baring.

For the shoes I went for a real wood pair of platforms. This ones are super comfortable to walk with, plus the add me height!

I really enjoyed wearing this look. It was fun and I didn't felt awkward at all, as a matter of fact, I felt really comfortable wearing it.

I dare you to try it sometime, this season is full of awesome prints. Adapt the ones you like the most to your own personal style and create great outfits!!
