I love these crop tops.

I have a couple myself, and need to make a few more.

I’m a huge fan of layering, you see.

A friend once laughed at me, when I lamented having had a hard time figuring out what to wear one day–this is back when I had an office job.

He said–“What do you mean?  All you do is:  tank top, t-shirt, cardigan, and GO!”.

Which hit it on the head.  That really nails down my clothing–tank top, top over that and cardigan, if the second top has short or no sleeves.

Which is why these are a great wardrobe addition for me.  Tank top (possible two in contrasting colors) and crop top.  Done.  Comfortable, easy to wear, and goes with anything.

I have a few new fabrics to make some of these out of–wild prints!  PRINTS!  I never use wild prints, so I’m excited to get making them.  Once my stack of orders is diminished, that is.

I’m featuring one of my all-time favorite type of shirts for today’s Trapped In Time Tuesday.

It also happens to be in one of my all-time favorite prints.

(I had to make myself a shirt in the same print, fyi)

It’s a simple cropped cowl neck shirt with long, full sleeves.

I like to layer, so this speaks directly to my fashion aesthetic.

These images with the model are actually from my first-ever (rather impromptu) shoot–and where I happened to meet the amazing photographer, Britt of Underexposed Photography.

We were actually doing a trunk show (with lackluster sales), and still joke today that the best thing that came out of that day was our meeting each other, as well as a couple of models that we’ve worked with a number of times since.
