For our next wardrob solution, I’m going to take a look at the crop top and shrug. I will also be looking at cardigans. I know what you’re thinking, “Does she really expect me to wear a crop top?!” The short answer is yes, but as you will see, I’m not talking about a 90’s era Britney Spears crop top.
As you can see from the pic above, this shrug evokes a very pin-up or dapper look for my Star Lord bound. Shrug is from Amazon. Click on link to buy.

This piece is very versatile. The cropped shrug is very 50’s. It can also add a pop of color to an outfit, and help you cover your arms for more confidence if you need that boost, which is what I did in the picture above. Crop tee from Amazon.

Lastly, if you have a sleeveless dress or shirt, the shrug can make the piece wearable year-round.
This dress is ridiculously cute, but without coverage, wearing a bra with it would be impossible. A bra is essential with this dress as it has no support built-in, so the cardi comes in real handy. I paired it with a long sleeved one in this picture since it was a bit chilly that day. Click on this link to buy from Amazon.
This tie-front shrug from Amazon covers too-big arm openings in this dress. Click on link to buy. It also has the added benefit of breaking up the pattern of the dress so it isn’t too-too much.
Another way to wear the crop top is under a piece to create insta-sleeves, like I did in the picture above. Click on link to buy on Amazon.
Happy shopping!
