Plus, in high school I worked at Merry-Go-Round and Dr. Denim, two stores that catered to the TLC\/Aaliyah crowd, so most of my wardrobe was sourced from there, and other stores like them. As I got older, I never grew out of wearing crop tops, and I still love to rock one every now and then. I don&#8217;t feel like they&#8217;re are solely for the younger generation &#8211; it&#8217;s just <em>how<\/em> I wear it that has changed as I got older. Back in the day, I had no problem baring my belly &#8211; hey, it was flat and I was younger! These days I&#8217;m a little more conservative when it comes to clothes, so I&#8217;ll pair my crop tops with high-waist jeans, pants or skirts. That way I&#8217;m just showing a little sliver of skin. In cooler weather, I like to layer my crop tops with long-sleeved shirts. For example, I&#8217;ll pair a cropped tee with a long-sleeved white blouse, or a cropped sweater with a chambray shirt. Or, I&#8217;ll throw on a cape blazer over a crop top, paired with high-waist leggings. There&#8217;s so many ways to wear a crop top and With so much versatility, they&#8217;ll always have a place in my closet!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/WhatsHaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/pepsi-2.jpg\" alt=\"A Case for Crop Tops, What I&#039;m Wearing: House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea Cat Eye Sunglasses in tortoise shell, Zara Pepsi Crop Top, Old Navy Denim Pencil Skirt, H&amp;M Denim Shirt, New York &amp;
