One trend I am really enjoying this summer is pairing a crop top with a full skirt or high-waisted pants. It’s a great way to reveal a little bit of skin while keepin’ it classy. Now don’t get me wrong, every outfit has it’s occasion and there’s nothing wrong with baring it all in the right setting. But for a dinner date night this outfit had me feeling trendy without showing off too much skin. 
 
Now, the skirt. When I saw it I was immediately drawn to the baroque style print as I hadn’t seen a floral print quite as exquisite as this in a while. I must mention that this skirt was spotted during a thrifting session and it was a tad bit too big. However, at $7.49 this skirt was coming home with me no matter what. Typically I would have worn it with a white or black top but decided to be a bit adventurous for myself (as I tend to prefer sticking to monochromatic dark hues) and paired it with a bright pink fuschia top that I’ve had for ages. 
 
What about you, what are some gems you’ve found while thrifting?

Here is the story of this blue asymmetrical dress. I bought this dress eons ago when I worked at bebe, with the intention of wearing it for my birthday that year. It wasn’t only the bold azure blue colour that attracted me to it as soon as I saw it on the poster (before the dress even came in the store). But mostly I adored the modern Grecian style. I never did get a chance to wear it that year, and this dress sat dormant in my closet for about a decade.

I wore it out once for a date with my boo a few years ago and then back in the closet it went…until finally last week I remembered it and had the chance to wear it for my birthday. If I had to say, it’s been about 13 years since the intended purpose of the dress was served. And it couldn’t have been on a more perfect night. Sometimes, things are worth the wait.

Wearing a few of my favourite styles in this look: lace up top, button front denim skirt, and I have always been a sucker for a good moto zip up. The button front denim skirt is such a versatile piece. It works great with booties (which are sticking around for another season, just opt for a lighter shade for Spring) or OTK boots, and even looks cute with sneakers. Pair it with a crisp white top for a simple yet chic look.
