Ok ladies, it’s undeniably that time of year, it’s bikini, crop top, short shorts, etc. season, much like most things, I wasn’t ready. I bought this Balmain crop top in the dead of winter; it was also meant to double as a gym motivator (so much for that). I loved the top, but my 6-pack abs were only a dream and a “work in progress” that’s yet to start, so I buried the crop top deep in my closet. It wasn’t until last week when it got sauna-temps. hot that I even considered wearing it. When I paired this Balmain top with this (overly-worn) Tibi gold metallic skirt, it finally hit me, this is why high-waist skirts exist? To cover up the “work-in-progress” non-existent 6-pack abs. No 6-pack, no problem! And just like that, I have fully realized instant gratification from a purchase I was going to wait weeks before wearing. This fantastically monochromatic Balmain crop top and I have fast been acquainted.

I’m trying hard to refraining from apologizing for wearing this Tibi skirt for what seems like a gazillion times. Hey, sometimes if you love something, you find different ways to repurpose it, no shame in that, besides gold metallic is the chicest. My closet has matured to house mostly signature pieces such as flats, high-waisted flares and now crop tops.

Are you sporting the crop top? And how are you styling yours?
