cream of the cropped.

in honor of this week marking the first of spring, i wanted to play with a runway trend: the crop top!  i originally thought the comeback questionable, but later concluded if you're modest with the rest of your ensemble it can be très chic. {personal rule: i don't think i would ever show my belly button}.  how i did it:

crop top, lulu*s // deco cuff, ann taylor // high waisted pants, elizabeth & james {similar style here} via lola // rings, family heirlooms // lipcolor, 'carthage' by nars via luxe // photo credit:  jadefOX pictures
--------
what do you think?  will you follow the lead of Alexander Wang, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Dolce and Gabbana, Acne, etc by baring your midriff this spring?
