Memo to designers – Not all women’s stomachs are created equal.
Some are in their early twenties and have washboard six packs. Others are a teeny bit older and have had some babies, and are now the proud owners of tummy-Shar-Peis.
Hence the Spring fashion conundrum concerning crop tops & the need for Fashion Translation!
There are some wondrous collections out this spring, most of which are offering crop tops. What’s the owner of a muffin top to do?
Option One – the layered look. This is a great option for Spring (and almost Spring), as layering is key to survival when it is freezing in the morning then scorching in the afternoon.
Wear a longer tee short or blouse underneath the crop. But don’t tuck!
Option Two – Tune in tomorrow…… 🙂
Genius idea ! I love the ruffle illusion that it creates because it brings a very feminine feel !
Thank you. Love your use of descriptive words!!!
You offer an excellent solution. That shirt, although covering your stomach, will show just enough to be sexy. I like it 🙂
Thank you for the inspiration that is a great way to wear the cropped top, you look fabulous!
Gosh – Thank you!
It is such a fun trend but not the easiest to wear…especially in the ‘burbs. 🙂
I’m a big fan of layering these too-! I can’t wait to see your other look tomorrow!
Brace yourself…I have released the Shar Pei…..
Your poses are the best! 🙂 Made my tuesday better!
Best / goofiest / what’s in a word really? 🙂
Thanks for the nice compliment!!
Thanks for speaking on our behalf us (me) the shar pei tummy mamas !!! When I think of a cropped top on me I see a condom water balloon about to be thrown out of a window. Seriously. This combination looks goooood on you by the way.
Thank you – yes, for the compliment, but more importantly for being responsible for making me giggle all day long!
Sister I feel your pain. But I like to look at it this way – anyone can have a 6 pack but it takes a real glamour girl to stretch out & push out & raise amazingly delicious children!
Shar Peis unite! 🙂
Cute!! Love your look!
Thanks, for the visit & the compliment!
beautiful!

Haha, I love your commentary! You don’t have a tummy Shar Pei, you look fab! Love the layers .
Thank you for the compliments! 🙂
Layers seem to work with this look plus it is a great way to ease into Spring while ditching the sweaters after SUCH a long winter.
I love this method of layering!! Excellent, dear!!!
Hmmmm…..not too sure what shar pei is BUT this option rocks! Layering…….simple yet genius! Thanks for the knowledge friend…
