At a festive soiree last Friday night several of my friends turned up in elegant cropped tops that showed just the tiniest sliver of skin. I'd like to follow suit with this version that features a cool kimono-style tie in the back. (P.S. High-waist pants or skirts are key to pulling off a crop top stylishly.)
