Crop Top/Cozy Cardi

So… raise your hand if you wish the holidays weren’t over. Yup, me too.

I actually shot this outfit a while ago, but I kept putting off posting it because of all the holiday content I had to get up. I mean… a crop top doesn’t exactly scream “December” – both because of the weather and the abundance of Christmas cookies haha Buuuuut I still stand by this combo!! I don’t know about you, but I get so bored with winter fashion. Being both petite and curvy, I find that wearing jeans and bulky sweaters all the time makes me feel a little bit like a marshmallow. So how do you show a little skin and stay warm? A cute little crop top and a long cozy cardi!

But a crop top in the winter?! Really Lauren? I know, call me crazy – but with a few tricks you could totally do it, too. The first rule: you need to pair it with high waisted jeans. This is non-negotiable. If you try this with anything low rise, you’re gonna show too much skin. Put em away!

And the second – make sure your cardigan falls past your booty. Bonus points if it’s a little oversized to up the cozy factor.

Ahh and here’s my favorite bag, back at it again! It just never gets old!

Pssst this choker was last seen as a long necklace in this post. Isn’t it so versatile? It was also made by a Chicago designer which makes me love it even more.
