Crop That Top

Girls, you better get working on those abs. Not only because spring break is right around the corner but because this springs fashion demands it. No the crop tee once a favorite of Kelly Kapowski (Saved By The Bell...duh), is back and these crop tee's aren't cheap ripped tee-shirts, they are the real deal. From Madison Marcus to Son of John, these tee's range from the priciest frocks to middle of the road pieces like these from Dolce Vita ($100) and Splendid ($90) to pair with your favorite white jeans.

Another one of my favorites is by Free People, their trapeze applique tank ($58) is for the edgier girl, with its mesh appliques in random positions, it is the ultimate "i don't care/roll out of bed look".

But if you do care, and want to show off your girlie side (and your abs) i've got the perfect crop top for you. This sherbert Madison Marcus top ($198), literally sold off the racks in 48 hours at the boutique I work at in Athens (The Red Dress Boutique). The zipper in the front breaks up the ruffle layers that carry all the way around the top.

Finally, this Thayer teal ruffle tank ($98), exudes feminine confidence with its powerful color and tie spaghetti strap shoulders, its sure to make a statement.

Helpful hint to remember- it is absolutely necessary to have the right bottom with these crop tops. Your jeans need to fit appropriately, no one wants to see muffin tops. Also, if you're not going to wear jeans, these tops look great with low-hung jean skirts and shorts!
