you know what's really hard to act caaj in - a crop top.
every few years, things like crop tops come back into style, and it's a real problem. every average joe (or josephine rather) begins to think that showcasing her flabby little belly in a crop top is fashionable. just because gwyneth and miranda and rihanna do it DOES NOT mean that you, average joe(sephine), should do it. please trust me on this - after the five cupcakes you ate this weekend and the donut you may or may not have had this morning, do not even consider putting that cropped top on.
and beyond just who should or should not be wearing a crop top, a crop top is very difficult to look caaj in. you clearly think you've got a hot bod and you want to show it off in that crop top. the secret to caaj is to put on something that very surprisingly showcases one of your best features - like omg, this huge unattractive bag that i am wearing as a dress makes my legs look so skinny and long - OR - if i actually wear my boyfriend's jeans, my waist looks so tiny! a crop top is in no way a subtle showcasing of your best asset - it is more like wearing a big sign that says "HAAAYYY! look at how hot my flat stomach is!!" and we, at the styleruminative, are all about subtlety - never letting the observer know how much time, effort, or thought went into that look you "just threw on."
don't get me wrong - the crop top certainly looks cute - but caaj it is NOT. i have included some photos below to accomplish three objectives: (a) showcase the types of bodies that are allowed to wear crop tops (b) demonstrate that these people, despite being allowed to, still should not be wearing crop tops because they look like tryhards (gwyneth even looks kinda awkward if u ask me..) and (c) give myself motivation to go to the gym.
is caajkim maybe a little jealous of their physiques? perhaps, but who are you anyway, my therapist?!? let's just stick to the task at hand here and just take the advice. trust me on this - if u are not a celebrity, resist the crop.
editor's note - selena's take on the crop top styled with the high-waisted skirt below may hide many a flabby belly and only show the skinniest part of the torso, so i'd recommend this option for those of you who are insistent on donning a crop top - but please note, that she does not look caaj.
