With all the rain we’ve been getting ’round these parts, this summer has been unseasonably cool so far! Once the storms dissipated, the sun appeared and has not been muddled by clouds or rain ever since. It’s been lovely!
Because the summers in Texas are usually a scorcher, I picked up two new crop tops for the season. The first one is this twisted satin poplin top by Tibi. The second one is also Tibi, but it has an adorable tie-front detail. Both look amazing with breezy skirts and will keep me cool this summer until I leave for London.
This one is wonderful because it almost looks like it’s actually tucked into whatever skirt I’m wearing. I truly hate the look of tucked-in shirts on myself, simply because I’m incapable of making it not look bulky. Thus, crop tops are ideal! Especially for summer when I definitely don’t need any layering happening.
Tibi just kills it in the crop top department. A few other cropped favorites right now include this macrame applique top for fall, this light off-the-shoulder top, this organza ruffled cami.

I love tibi too, the esthetic is such a great combo of modern/classic. I’m loving this outfit on you, and the clutch is the perfect finish.

Had you not said anything, I would have thought that the crop top was an actual full length top that you tucked in, OR, I would have thought “Dang, that’s an awesome cut dress.” Looks fantastic.

Tibi is killing it in general lately, don’t you think? My favorite go to pieces lately.
I am the same way about tucking in shirts, by the way. Hate the bulk on me.
