Love the crop trend, but not really into showing your belly? I’m always looking for crop tops that aren’t … really … totally … cropped!
I love this striped crop mock turtleneck sweater. I’m crazy over that mod vibe! This was an end of the season steal at H&M and so it’s been patiently waiting in my closet for many months!
I styled the sweater with some basic black skinny pants, cage sandals, and my new fav sunglasses, as well as my trusty old red tote bag that I’ve updated a bit with a bandana tie!
Oops … sometimes it shows a bit of tummy. Another idea is to wear a tank top underneath. I’ve done that many times with a few of my crop-y-est summer blouses.
And with a ivory moto for cooler weather …

So retro and so tasteful. Crop LOVE!!!!! Happy weekend gorgeous!!
Dawn Lucy, this is such a great outfit for the cooler weather that is coming! I love my ivory moto jacket, too. The peek-a-boo tummy is way sexy and you are totally rocking it! I, on the other, absolutely hate if any tummy or back is exposed…especially in cooler temps…I instantly feel cold! Ah well, just not for me. But you are looking quite fabulous!

That is a lovely striped top! 🙂 Looks great with the black.
I am petite with a tiny torso so it's rare to find cropped things that are actually cropped on me, haha!
Thank you for the link up!

ADORE this whole outfit…that motto jacket makes it even more fabulous! XO Susan http://www.themidlifefashionista.com
But really…there's nothing wrong with showing a bit of skin here and there—it's not like you're being crazy about it!
This look fantastic—and I love the bandanna on the purse!

I can't wear things to cropped or I have no desire to-between age and physique it's a pretty much no go so I am where you are on the subject. Have a great time in NYC-so jealous ?
Great outfit!!! Loving this sweater!

Great outfit! Looking fabulous … that "cropped-ish" top is perfect no matter one's age.
Cute cute crop top Dawn, and I love that it's styled and fit for fall weather, how cool.

Love your outfit!!! So chic and fall ready!
Aww, thank you so much for the feature!
You look fabulous! I really like the whole mod vibe. Looking forward to hearing all about Fashion Week!
I'm already SOOO excited to hear all about your Fashion Week trip, dearest Dawn!! And yes – I love to throw a mod-inspired look into the sartorial mix every once in a while, too; your "new" striped, not-quite-cropped top adds a perfect bit of 60's style to this modern jeans and sandals combo. (P.S. It's kind of awesome to have a great piece ready and waiting in your closet for its moment to shine, isn't it?!) XOXO

Too cute! Love that top!
I know exactly what you mean! I like a crop top, but only if I'm not baring skin! Haha! You look wonderful!
Loving this look on you Dawn. This jumper is awesome!

I saw yesterday some great cropped tops but did not buy because I didn t think of wearing a longer tanktop underneath!Great colors and that bag is great too!
Lovely sweater! I don't like showing off my midriff so this is a great length. Those shades are fab 🙂
