Who says I can’t look 6 feet tall?
The trifecta combo of high-waisted denim, a crop top, and a pair of pumps really does wonders for your girl– who is 5’5. Give me all the height! And length! Stretch things out, please!
And while I love a crop top, the only part of my midriff I’m game to display is the little sliver of skin above the belly button. (Thank you very much.) So that is just one of the reason I love these jeans– they take the high-waisted crown with a killer 10-inch rise, which is above-belly-button status. Ah, bless! Madewell denim is made from pure magic– it manages to hold you in (I mean, all in) without pinching or being uncomfortable. I can wear these suckers through a Thanksgiving meal, I swear.
A crisp white pump with a natural wood block heel added some additional length and rounded out that triad of style amazingness I referenced earlier. A retro pair of sunnies (have been living in these Ray-Bans lately), dainty old accessories (my jam, as you know), and a bold red lip turned this outfit into a super fun summer event outfit (date nights, girls’ nights, any occasion to dress up a bit where denim is still kosher).
Shop the look:
The crop top is currently ruling the summer trends– from linen button-up versions to dressier blouses with bell sleeves, they are everywhere. I do love the red and blue stripe running down this blouse; it makes for a fun effect. Now I just need the shorts version of these jeans (anyone know of a pair with a 10-inch rise?) and this crop top can be easily remixed for the 4th of July.

Love this look! That crop tops pairs perfectly with the high waisted jeans! Such a good idea because I have seen several crop tops I like and there is just no way this 31 year old is going there.

You really should, lady- I love a crop with something high-waisted!
Ah yes a 10 inch rise bring it on! It can be hard to find a rise this way and more so if you have a long torso like I do. This is a great look, thanks for the heads up on the jeans.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum- I have a short torso, but I still want something SUPER high-waisted so it goes above my belly button, haha. 🙂 You should let me know if you try these jeans, doll- I think you’d like ’em!
This is so pretty! I love the striped shirt and the jeans, gorgeous look!
Raindrops of Sapphire
