Suns Out, Tums Out!

Ahhh... It's good to be back! 
So yes, I realise it's been quite a while since my last post and for that I do apologise. It's just been so hard to find time to write recently. Thankfully though, I'm officially free... The summer is all mine! Twelve glorious weeks of not having to worry about school or exams... Music to my ears!

Anywho, speaking of summer... Today I'm going to write about something that I never thought I'd ever have the courage to wear... EVER! What is it you ask? Well if you haven't already guessed by the title of today's post, It's the ever famous crop top... dun dun dunnnnnnn!


*First off, I would like to make clear I am well aware that by no means have I a perfect body but I am not going to let that stop me... I have finally begun to feel comfortable with my body and crop tops have become almost second nature to me.

Moving on...
Currently I have been loving pairing my crops with flowing summer flares, especially on those rare but glorious sunny days. In the pictures above and below, I am wearing gorgeous, figure flattering navy and white spotted flares from New Look which I purchased for around 21 last summer. Unfortunately, New Look don't stock these flares any more as they are last seasons but never fear as there are plenty of trousers with gorgeous patterns from this season instead... I want one of each!


The crop top I am wearing is a simple white tee with a red heart I purchased from Penneys earlier this year. It is such an easy crop to wear, it goes with almost anything, is super comfortable and is great for a beginner! As far as I know, this top is still in stores but you will probably have to dig very deep in the sales pile.

My next crop in the photo to the left is one I have paired with the New Look flairs once again. I purchased this top in Penneys on my last shopping trip for believe it or not €3! It is such a gorgeous top and I instantly fell in love with it... So much so that I got a second one in black! Stripes are so in this season and for €3, I couldn't resist the temptation! It's a beautiful turtle neck style that sits perfectly on the waist, accentuating it and hugging your body in all the right places!



The crop top to the right is one I also purchased on my last excursion but this time in River Island. I came across it on the sale rack and for €18, I just had to try it. Of course, I instantly fell in love! I have paired it with another pair of those gorgeous New Look flares but floral patterned. This top is so versatile, it goes with basically everything in my wardrobe from skirts to shorts to jeans and of the three crops, it's by far my favourite. Unlike the other tops, it has long sleeves which are perfect for the unpredictable Irish weather or for any of you out there who are a little more concious about your arms. This top has an unusual, striped mesh pattern which I thought was pretty cool and attracted me to it in the first place. Sitting just on the waist, this top, like the other is great for your figure and yes... It is still on sale! (I'll link it below).

That's all for today guys. I hope you enjoyed my post and I do apologise if it's too long. I'm still new to this and am yet to figure out what works and what doesn't. Thanks for reading guys... Do let me know what you think!
