{how to wear it} Three Ways to Wear a Floral Crop Top

This past weekend I spent lots of time with my roommate and our best friend. On Saturday we went shopping, out to eat, and they went out while I stayed home and relaxed. Then Sunday we went out for breakfast, to the beach, watched Harry Potter, went out to eat again, then some more Harry Potter (One friend hasn't seen all of them so we're watching them all in a row so she can catch up).

All of these activities required outfits, so I decided to do a little challenge with myself and styled this floral crop top I bought last year for $5 at Kohl's in different ways! Since I'm not working right now I need to get a lot better at remixing all of my pieces because I won't be able to buy too many clothes while I figure my life out.

Look 1: This look is perfect for when it is warm out but a little chilly. Just take some wide leg jeans, sandals and a light sweater and you're good to go!

Top: Mudd $5, Sweater: Kohl's gift, Jeans: Free People (Marshalls) $40, Sandals: Crown Vintage (DSW) $45, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Rings: Mom's, Watch: Michael Kors

Look 2: This look is for when it is so hot out that you would rather walk around naked.  Pair the top with sandals and a thin skirt so it won't be plastered to your body when copious amounts of water come out of your legs, stomach and arms. (luckily we aren't at this stage of summer yet)

Top: Mudd $5, Skirt: made from old dress, Sandals: Madden Girl (TJ Maxx) $20, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card

Look 3: Is a variation of look 1 but tailored for when it is a BIT hotter out. Wear some boyfriend jeans (perhaps with some rips so that your legs are ventilated,) and a light sweater with some flat sandals.

Top: Mudd $5, Sweater: Urban Outfitters $0, Jeans: American Eagle $15, Sandals: Target (similar) $15, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs gift card, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $20, Necklace: etsy $8, Bracelets: old, Rings: Mom's, Watch: Michael Kors
