Pinspiration: Crop Tops for Spring & Summer

With the very short and very brief burst of warm weather I experience last week, I realized it's time to start thinking about my spring wardrobe! And since I scooped up about 3 crop tops last fall, I am ready to start thinking up how I want to style them come warm temps.. oh and probably 2-a-day workouts to go with them. I've also found some amazing options that you can pick up right now!

 I love the idea of a textured crop top with a simple maxi dress. Add a bold accessory and a super fun pony and you've got an instant summer date night outfit.

 Crop tops don't always have to be casual. Go fancy by pairing a short sleeve version with a glittering sequin pencil skirt.

Can I just saw how obsessed I am with this edgy meets feminine look. The booties and black bra really sell it for me

Another awesome casual version involves printed pants and a denim vest. This will help you feel more covered up if you're worried about showing too much skin.

I never thought I could pull off the whole crop-top-with-denim-cutoffs look. But this look totally makes me think I can with the oversize shorts and flat sandals.

 

Here are some of my favorite options that are currently up for grabs:

 



Recap: Impeccable Pig Spring Transition Event

 

I kind of don't know where to begin this post. The event I hosted last week at The Impeccable Pig was SO. MUCH. FUN! It was so wonderful to meet some new people here, catch up with old friends, pick out birthday presents, style customers. I mean if I could do that every single day I think I would be a very happy gal.

These ladies from Impeccable Pig are the absolute greatest! This event would not have gone as well as it did without them. THANK YOU! :)

 

P.S. I'm wearing the Neon Coral Shift Dress (that I just HAD to have) from their new in-store arrivals.

 

Here are some photos from the event. The store was so busy that I didn't get to take a ton of the action but a very big thanks to everyone who came out to support IP and BAD. I am so lucky to have readers, friends and family like you!!

 

Delicious sweets were provided by The Cupcake Shoppe Bakery. YUM!
