A Crop Top for Work?

Unless you work somewhere like a sports bar, crop tops are generally not acceptable work attire; however, it is possible to rock a crop top for work!
Trousers:  The Limited (old)
Top:  eloquii (Available here)
Earlier this week, I paired this gorgeous lace crop top from Eloquii with a pair of high-waisted trousers.  The sheerness of the top necessitated a bottom layer, so I chose a tucked-in cami to ensure no accidental belly baring.
Camisole:  The Limited (Available here)
A white blazer helps keep the lace from looking too evening and it also adds a contrast.

Blazer:  The Limited (old)
After work, you could simply lose the jacket for a day to night look.
Bangle: Ann Taylor (Available here)
Or, you could change it up a little further by folding the cami up into a crop top/bralette to bare a little skin.
Heels:  Target (old)
By the way, today, I"m kicking off a new series on my all-time favorite color combination - black and white, of course! 

Stay tuned throughout the coming week for more monochromatic looks!

  1. That outfit looks super on you! I don't do crop tops, but only because my stomach is my worst feature and it's covered with surgical scars. I like the idea of wearing a matching layer underneath. Love love LOVE black and white combos.

  2. Thanks so much, Carla! I'm trying to feel more comfortable in crop tops - I think they're adorable, but I feel like my belly is my worst feature too. This one is a nice compromise - I don't have to show my stomach if I don't want to, and even with a crop top underneath, it has a concealing element. I'm really working on the stomach confidence though. I'm sick of trying to hide it - not just by covering it, but by always wearing things that disguise my belly pouch.

  3. Très chic! I say it is daring to go with a cropped top in an office-type environment, but you did quite well to make this stylish. The blazer and the wide-leg pants are both lovely. The shoes/sandals are also lovely. I say you styled this one very well and look great. Love it!

  5. I love how you used the crop top here, and it looks great in so many ways (the cami long or up, with jacket or without!).
