It’s starting to be that time of year again… The temps are getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and the hemlines are getting shorter. Dresses, crop tops, skirts, and denim are all inching just a tad bit higher and exposing a little bit more skin.
Last summer, I was all about wearing white denim in the work place. While you might think that cropped white denim should be reserved for the weekends, it’s just as easy to dress up your cropped jeans as it is to dress them down.
For a more casual weekend look, I used a few of my favorite tricks while I was getting ready … Mixing prints and wearing white on white. I paired my white cropped jeans with a white and blue striped tee and a camo jacket, finished off by a pair of nude sandals.
To take the vibe just a bit more dressy, I paired my cropped white jeans with a polka dot chiffon top (love the slight flowy peplum fit) and a linen motorcycle jacket. And when I’m trying to take my look to the next level, red lipstick and a pair of sky-high pumps are pretty much always a good idea. On a side note, this linen moto jacket is so perfect for the summer season ahead. I’m always one for layering and this super lightweight material is going to make spring and summer dressing an absolute breeze. #punintended
Since longer days call for shorter pants, Old Navy is running a special promotion for all of their freshest fits for summer, and they’re starting at just $19! The Rockstar (that I’m wearing here) is a super skinny style that’s great for all shapes. The Boyfriend is not too relaxed, but not too uptight. It’s just right! And The Pixie is made from a two-way stretch twill that seriously fits like a glove! Hurry, ends May 22nd!

I love the white and the versatility, but haven’t been able to find a pair that isn’t see through making me self conscious. I’ll have to check these out.
I love that camo jacket! I’ve been seeing it around, and think I finally need to just grab it while I can!

I am totally afraid of wearing white pants and cropped pants and you make it look so easy!
Cropped pants are the perfect versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion โ time to add them to your wardrobe!
