The Cutest Crop Top Ever?

  The sun is coming out (at last) and the amount of clothing being worn is decreasing. One of my favourite things to wear in the summer is crop tops, closely followed by shorts. Anyway, I was recently taking a browse around new look and found a real beauty of a crop top...

Sorry for the rubbish photo :-(

Crop Top: New Look, £12.99

  As you can see it is a gorgeous lacy, boho style top which is definitely a trend for summer months. As the lacy, floral layer is quite sheer and see through, there is a silky under layer which makes sure you can't see through the top. Although I probably wouldn't recommend wearing something super bright underneath! 

  The length of this top is just right and it conveniently covers most of my stomach showing just a bit of skin underneath. If you didn't want any skin to show then you could easily just wear some high waisted jeans/ shorts/ leggings to cover it up. 

 I picked up this top from the Generation 9-15 section, but, do not panic, it still in the adults section as well. Online, I have found that it also comes in a springy mint green/ turquoise colour.

Have you found any summer essentials yet?
