Taking My Own Advice

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!
Skirt:  eShakti custom (Sold out on-line; Similar here and here)
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.
Blazer:  The Limited
Crop top:  Forever 21 (Sold out on-line; Similar in black here)
Clutch:  Titanic Museum Shop, Branson, MO
Bracelets - right arm:  LOFT (Sold out on-line; Similar here)
Shoes:  Target (old)
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. 
Earrings:  Ixora Boutique (Sold out on-line; Similar here and here)
Necklace:  The Limited (old)
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. 
Bracelet - left hand:  New York & Company
Would you wear a tulle skirt?  A crop top?
