Maybe it's the fantasy element that tulle skirts seem to create, or maybe it's the reality that tulle skirts don't really have a super practical place in [this] working mom's wardrobe, but I find no fashion piece more dreamy!
For today's look, I wanted to play up the soft pink color by adding pastel blue and soft neutrals. I also wanted to take a leap out of my comfort zone by adding a crop top.
This isn't the first time I wore a crop top, but before I only showed a sliver of skin and I chose a more concealing style of top. My soft tummy is the body part about which I'm least confident. While I have accepted my belly and can appreciate the fact that it once held two babies, I don't necessarily love the idea of showing it off.
But, as I have said on the blog before, practice makes perfect and "fake it 'til you make it"! My body love is still a work in progress, and today, I'm following my own advice.
Would you wear a tulle skirt? A crop top?

That clutch is awesome! I love wood carved everything and you are making me REALLY want to push myself out of my comfort zone and try a crop top, I just think my pudge
ReplyDeletewould squeeze out like biscuit dough lol.
I LOVE this look! We totally share that love of tulle skirts. ;) One of my favorite looks is a crop top + high-waisted skirt, so I adore this whole situation.
ReplyDeleteI've worn a crop top a few times and enjoyed feeling a little breeze on my mid-section. I like the idea of a tulle skirt, but like you, I don't know how practical it is for my job. Love this outfit and the blazer works great with it.
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking the crop top and tulle skirt! Fantastic accessories too!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, dreamy-style outfit... with that Cassandra touch, of course! The skirt is my favorite piece of this outfit, but I also adore the blazer and the cropped top. Fine sandals to go with this outfit. I admire your creativity with this outfit.

Thanks Kisha! You should totally try a crop top! As long as it's not too tight, you won't have that issue! :-)
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! Thanks Michelle! I'm planning on wearing this one for Fall Fashion Week, I think! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nina! I can't believe I found the clutch at a museum shop. It was the only one they had.
ReplyDeleteExactly on the belly baring - don't know why I make it such a big deal!
Thanks John! The tulle skirt is my favorite part too...with the clutch a very close second! :-)
