Curves Around the World: Crop Top

Hello Everyone! I hope your all doing great! 

It's the middle of the week and you know what that means, "Curves Around the World" time! This weeks theme is "Crop top" and this is something I've tried before but it's fall time and it's actually starting to get cold over here in California. Well today was colder then the begging of the week which was in the 80's! But I figure this would be a good time to show you how you can rock the crop top trend in fall. 
So since it was a cooler day I thought about wearing a long sleeve top to keep myself warmer and you can also roll the sleeves like I did because it became a little warmer during the day. Oh and let me tell you a little secret, I don't actually have a long sleeve crop top so what I did was fold a shirt that I have to give it the crop top look. I've seen some great looks using long sleeve crop tops and also sweatshirts that are crop tops but I haven't found such an item that runs in plus sizes. So I thought might as well do it myself which led me to fold a shirt I already own.  What do you think of Crop tops?

It still surprises me that I am wearing a crop top because if you would have told me this last time last year to put on a crop top and rock it, I would totally laugh at you. I used to be so uncomfortable with myself that I would hate wearing tank tops or anything that showed my arms so that fact that I am showing off my stomach is a big thing for me. But I am proud of how far I've come with my confidence within myself as well as me challenging myself in fashion. Do you like challenging yourself? 
So I just want to say sorry for the sun spots in my photos, I didn't realize it until I saw my pictures on the computer and it was too dark to retake them. But in other note, I am so happy to wear boots again. I just found these boots at Ross and I think they are great short boots. You will be seeing me wearing boots in a lot of upcoming posts because they are my favorite things to wear in fall and winter. What are your favorite kind of shoes to wear?

    So great to see you rocking that confidence!!! I love the purple skirt too! Yay on the boots - i need to find a new pair of comfy but cool ankle booties soon. I'm worried it's going to be a struggle!

    I love this! The skirt is such a pretty colour!! I love booties! It was a great idea to fold up the long sleeved Tee. I will keep an eye out for long sleeved crops for you :)

    Love the purple, black, and blingin' necklace! The crop top trend isn't for me, but I do see women of all sizes and styles rocking them on the streets and on the blogs I read. Booties, though - now those are a trend I can get behind! I have knee-high boots in all my neutrals but no ankle booties. That'll be changing soon enough though!

      Thanks my dear, yeah it wasn't a trend I thought i would rock but I think once I did I felt fine in it. But yeah I love knee high boots too, but im currently I'm on the look out for some over the knee boots which is going to be hard to find because knee high boots are hard enough to find.

    You just folded it? How creative! I should look for similar tops that I can magically transform into cropped tops! Hihi!

    I love the look, particularly the boots! Can't wait for the next posts in boots!

      hehe Yeah I just folded it, you should try it if you want to try the trend but don't really want to spend money on an item. And thanks you will be seeing lots of boot posts! :)

      I think you could totally rock it but if it isn't your style it's ok, you could always wear a tank under, some of the girls in the group did that! :)
