Hint of Skin

Hey everyone! This is something I wore over the weekend, on Saturday night. I finally found myself a bra top that I liked, and the weather on Saturday was so amazing I was able to wear it all day and night. Saturday day, I actually wore this top with olive green high-waisted shorts for the beach, and at night all I had to do was throw on my trusty blazer, favorite AA trousers, and some heels. I kept it all black to let the pattern of the top stand out, and to make a somewhat risky look seem more evening appropriate.

Trend-spotting: Bra Top

I feel as though, if done right, bra tops/cropped tops can be a very chic look for Spring. They were seen all over the runway, and I fell in love. I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect one I know I could pull off, and pair with my closet flawlessly. Instead of baring your mid-riff with this top, a la Carrie Bradshaw, show a hint of skin by pairing it with tailored high-waisted trousers or shorts. They also look fantastic with full, high-waisted a-line skirts, like above, or a tight, high-waisted pencil skirt. To add even more structure to the look, throw on a blazer. Below I have a few top options, paired with crisp shorts, and a tuxedo style blazer. Will you try this daring look?
