You know what they say… never say never. I always swore I would never wear a crop top. Ever. Definitely not my thing. But then I found one that wasn’t that bad! A short boxy top and a high waisted matching skirt? In gingham, no less. “I will give it a try,” I thought.
(Definitely love.)
At first glance, the top and skirt look more like a dress. I don’t think I’d wear the top alone (except for maybe with high waisted white shorts), but the skirt can definitely be worn separately.
The contrast zipper on the back of the shirt is the perfect pop!
I think it's definitely time to retire those cap toe pumps, at least for summer – they don't go with everything and look really out of place in this outfit!
I LOVE this crop/skirt set, and it looks absolutely gorgeous on you! Personally, I love those shoes with the outfit. They definitely go with everything, and work great with this outfit! 🙂
Oh My Goodness. I am incredibly jealous! The moment I saw that gingham duo on shopbop, I fell in love. I've actually been daydreaming about that outfit lately! Love you and your blog!
I swore off the crop top too but hook ups are so different cause you only show a bit of stomach. Love the gingham! I am wearing Navy Gingham today too.
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
It's so cute! I don't wear crop tops either, but I would wear this!

I love the two piece suit trend! This set is adorable. I feel like either piece could easily be worn as part of another outfit.

Yep, I swore I would never wear camo. I eventually came around to it in small doses!
