crop style.


top.aa. pants. tracy reese. shoes. zoom. belt. vintage.

crop crop. I shyly pulled out my crop top. After seeing gala and rumi wear it flawlessly, it added to my apprehensiveness.
I had purchased it when I first got to New York (May) as it was scorching HOT. every. single. day. and came in very handy through the multitude of heatwaves. It was worn in Central Park a few times, but when I came back to Cape Town it was far too Arctic to rock it. To be honest it's one of the comfiest shirts in my possession. Albeit I still feel a tad reticent wearing it around our very reserved neighbourhood, BUT alas with summer coming I know I will get over it and wear it to its core.
These pants were another New York delight. They are Tracy Reese, which is where I interned this summer. They are fall 08 and I knew upon flipping through the look book I had to have them. They are ridiculously flared, slightly high waisted and the perfect length for killer sky highs. These will also be worn to threads.

    thanks for the comment. I love smokey dark eyes, always. :) Oh and the book is fantastic. I bet you would love it. My favorite thing to do before bed is read a book or fun fashion magazine. If I'm not watching TV, of course. :)

  24. Cropped shirts are so daring! I'll have to try it sometime. I like how you apired it with wide legged paints. It might have looked alittle odd with a pair of skinnies.
