Blazer: Vintage via my Mom, Cropped Sweater Top: Old Navy, High-Waisted Jeans: H&M, Oxford Booties & Owl Ring: Forever 21, Two Finger Bar Ring: Downtown Threads
It was in the teens when I snapped these photos so please excuse the overly red nose, stiff posing and rushed feel of these images. I was cold and it was windy.
Had I not been concerned about hypothermia I would have loved to show you how this top is perfectly cropped in the front and slightly longer in the back, making it the perfect subtle mullet shirt, but like I said I was cold and it was windy so the blazer stayed on.
While my office has a pretty laid back dress code I thought a cropped top might be pushing it so I paired the subtle mullet shirt with high-waisted flares. While covering my midsection was my biggest concern I also wanted to balance out the boxy shape of the top with a more form fitting pant/bottom. I was concerned that the flares would mess with the proportions but I think they actually gave it a great 70’s feel.
What pieces do you use to balance out boxy tops? How have you styled crop tops in the past?

Oh you brave blogger, you! The sacrifices we make for our readers. 🙂
Love how great that blazer looks with the top. They look like they were made to go together! I bet that top would look really cute with a big maxi skirt too.
I love this! I have yet to buy boxy tops because I don’t know how to balance them out. I love the way they look on everyone else, but I haven’t been able to figure it out yet.
Cait this look is flawless. Every time I see you in this blazer, I love it all the more. I love the cropped top/high waisted flares combo very much. I know how it is to take pics in the freezing cold weather. HORRIBLE!!!! Get yourself a warm Starbucks pronto!
Loving the crop top! I’m a fan of all things striped, and those colors look really well together!

Great shirt. It looks soooooooooo cold out there.
I just bought this sweater and have been having a hard time styling it because it is so boxy and cropped! You’re inspiring me! 🙂 I tend to just layer a solid or matching tank under anything cropped because I am so not a midriff-baring kind of lady! Haha. I also like to pair them with pencil skirts whenever possible, though I usually just go for jeans because I work at a preschool!
I love this outfit. I especially love that you paired the crop top with the high waisted flares. I am not a fan of crop tops usually, but this I love.
I love that you called it a mullet top, its super cute.
I wear yoga/running gear to work, it’d be fun to dress up.
And I love your hair color, beautiful.
Great blog, I have just bookmarked it
