Much like maxis, for a long time I’ve sworn off crop tops. In my eyes, I’m in no way thin enough or… curve-less…?…enough for the extra-short, cropped length. But lately, I’ve been inspired, and not by anyone other than myself. I’ve always preached body positivity. I’ve always been able to tell someone, “Love yourself. Every inch and imperfection of yourself.” I’m bad for not listening to my own adivce, though. That changes now. No longer will I worry about my body, but embrace it, and I’m starting with this crop top trend.
I DIY’d this Set Your Goals tee a long time ago, and love the off-the-shoulder result, but I’ve always had an issue wearing it, due to the awkward short hem. Restyled as a knotted, crop top though? I’m obsessed. I’ve recently jumped on this “knotted tee” train, and I don’t think I’m ever getting off it! I feel so sexy and badass in this top, especially with something high-waisted, like this super comfy, skater skirt. Just the right amount of coverage, to leave something to the imagination, right? I mean, how could you feel anything BUT sexy when you’re showing off your body and feeling comfortable doing it? This summer I pledge to show off some skin!
Now I want to know what makes you feel sexy. Is it showing off your tummy or legs? Maybe a well-fitted dress? What about your favorite lip color? Tell me. Tell the world! No one should be ashamed of feeling sexy, or confident. Let’s focus on the positivity of self-love.
