Unicorns, Kittens, and Crop Tops

Forever 21, of course, is filled with crop tops these days. I like their range of crop, as not everyone wants the sports bra version but still wants to bare some belly. 

Best is when you can wear unicorns and kittens on your crop top.

Galaxy unicorn muscle t-shirt. I know, it's got it all.

Kitty print cropped muscle t-shirt. Both of these shirts made my 4yo go crazy. A hit with multiple generations.

Here's how I wear my crop top these days: layered over a non-crop top. But I am no crop-top prude: PLEASE, if you so desire, WEAR CROP TOPS EVERY DAY. Take advantage of your crop-top years. Also see: short-short years. You will feel enormous satisfaction when, upon seeing adorable examples of crop tops walking down the street, your partner says "You always wore those when I met you." Yes, that means you grabbed your crop top years by the horns and wrestled them to the ground. Now go to Forever 21 on 34th Street and stock up for some crop top carpe diem.

Stranded Island Fashion Games: The Mango Edition

Let's say you're stranded on a not-so-deserted island, like Manhattan, and you can only wear one single line of clothing (and look fabulous in all of it, of course). Well, I've got the line for you, and it's now on 34th Street.

Mango's Premium collection. It's flawless. It's island-ready (if that island is Manhattan) and it won't break your bank.  
                 

Kimono $129.99, palazzo trouser and kimono-style gilet $69.99.

Cropped top $49.99, boxy sweatshirt $59.99.

I tried on several pieces last week and I want it all for fall. Yes, I could joyfully get by this autumn in New York with just this collection!
