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’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!
A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!

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.

i love that top – the pop of color from the exposed zipper on the back is fab!
