Double Denim: No Big Deal

During the summer I usually wear more casual outfits. I'm sure everyone strips down for the heat, to a degree, (haha!) but I am completely in favour of lounging around in cut-offs and loose tops for the hot months. (Although, this is one of the first sunny days we've had here.)

Crop tops have been an interesting trend this season for a few reasons. I prefer a crop top paired with something high-waisted as opposed to the 1990's trend of a short shirt with hip-hugging jeans. Both because the current is more flattering on myself and I have mixed feelings on bared midriffs. But, browsing the local boutiques over the last couple of months, shirts that are hip-length or longer seem to have disappeared. It's like, crop-top or no top. What? I mean, I understand the social and financial power of trends but no one needs a closet full of crop-tops.

I found this crocheted lace top in a small clothing shop and it became the first shorter shirt added to my wardrobe. I love the dash of sass it adds to a night out.

I adore the double denim, and how you break it up with the lovely lace crochet! I know what you mean though, i do still want to buy normal length tops too!

I love this outfit so much. That lace crop top is adorable with the high-waisted shorts. I too enjoy that silhouette much more than a bare midriff. It's just so much classier! Really great outfit all around. Also, your hair is beautiful!
