Since I spend my life running between classes, work, and the gym, dressing up doesn't happen nearly as often as it should. I crave the high school days when I could walk around in my high heels without murdering my feet and dress up just because I could. Of course people still do that on college campuses, but I'll admit I do judge those girls that walk the campus length in high heels (only because I'm jealous of their mad skills).

Since my boyfriend was in town for his spring break, I jumped at the opportunity to dress up for our semi-fancy dinner date. We went out for cheese fondue and dessert, so that called for some really classy sparkly crop top action. While the usual fancy girl uniform consists of a nice dress, crop tops let you get away with wearing pants on a night out, while still allowing for that sexy feminine look through their body hugging form.

Crop tops are incredibly versatile pieces, so there's no wonder they're still in high demand among college students. Even though it is sparkly, my top could easily be recycled for a more casual outfit featuring high waisted jeans, a pair of Converse, a cardi, and a backpack. A lot of stores, such as Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, and Wet Seal, have a variety of crop tops on sale for under $10, so they're definitely a steal. I got a basic blue one at Wet Seal for $3, and I cannot wait to style it and share it with you guys. The possibilities are endless.

Thank you so much for stopping by! :)
