Crop Top and Maxi Skirt – balancing proportions

 Happy Wednesday!!!

Today the weather is overcast with lots of dark clouds. Days like this always make me feel blah and a little lazy. So when picking an outfit, I went with something comfy and casual.

I picked this black maxi dress that I have had for a few years. Usually, I would pair a cardigan over it to beat the chill, but today I decided to add this striped crop top. This top came as part of a set with a midi skirt but I broke up the pieces to wear as separates. This is the best part of a two-piece as it easily doubles your wardrobe possibilities.

 When wearing a maxi dress, you have to be mindful of your proportions as you don’t want to look boxy. If your bottom is loose and flowy, pairing it with a tighter fitting piece, like this crop top, really streamlines your look. Since this whole look is black and white, I added this turquoise cross-body purse from Michael Kors for a pop of colour.

Thanks for reading!!
