If someone mentioned an outfit consisting of a crop top and short jean
cut-offs, your first thought may be something that looks slighty trashy.
But surprise, there is a way to do it in a way that comes off casual
and cute. You see, I'm a married mother of two, but I workout regularly
to maintain--so, I have no issues showing it off (just a bit). I prefer to
show a little skin in a more casual manner, which is what this little
ensemble gives. For me showing full on belly has become passé,
instead it's more chic to pair a crop top with a bottom that is
high-waisted. Even these shorts aren't as high-waisted as I'd have
preferred, but it's what I had and I worked with it. By the way, I've
been living in these cut-off shorts lately. They were "mom jeans" from
the Goodwill bought for the sole purpose to make them high-waist
cut-offs. They are so comfy and I love the slight "paperbag waist"
effect I get when I belt them.
Because my crop top is a tube top, I chose to throw this awesome little button up I found at Walmart (yes, Walmart!) over it. Finishing it all off with a cute pair of flat sandals (Enzo Angiolini), and my showing-skin-in-a-casual-way look is complete.
Have a great weekend!

Such a pretty lady as always! I love how casual and cute this look is. You need to post your workout regimen because I need to get my pre-baby body back. I'm down to 126.5, but at my best I was a toned 125.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're just a pound and a half away! You don't need me! haha I wish I had a "real" workout regimen to post because people ask all the time. It's really very simple. I just run or powerwalk a couple miles a few times a week! I've started a weight training course, so I can become more knowledgeable on weight training and how to do it correctly. I'll keep you all posted on that soon.

ReplyDeleteThanks Nik, I just started walking and am going to work my way up to jogging again. I also signed up for bodyrock's daily HIT workouts. I may be only a pound away, but right now I'm skinnyfat! I'd rather weigh more and be toned. I need to get a jogging stroller so I can take the baby out while I workout. :)
ReplyDeleteHas your hair already grown back??? Amazing!

No, it's not all the way back. I wish! :) I cut it to APL, it's still around that length for the most part. I plan to grow it back, but I may keep it here a bit to try and regain some thickness I lost from postpartum shedding.
