Modern Tribal

Tuesday, October 8, 2013





 Top: ATL Manila / Skirt: April 2nd / Heels: Zara / Clutch: SM Accessories / Earrings: The Jewelry Shop

Cropped tops are the perfect complementary pieces to show off a toned physique. The thing is, I don't have a toned torso and it would take 10,000 years for me to even develop one panel of toned abs (don't even ask me why!). But even the lack of a toned torso cannot prevent me from indulging myself in trying out restrictive pieces of clothing. My tip for working around those menacing love handles while donning a cropped top? Wear high waist bottoms - they're a godsend to (slightly) strategically cover those unwanted bulges. As seen in this ensemble, I paired a tailored cropped top from ATL Manila with a tribal-print high waist skirt. There's still a blob of jelly tummy peeking somewhere in this look, but at least 3/4 of the flesh monstrosity is concealed. Hahaha!

  3. It's a common misconception. I was guilty too until someone I accidentally read about it! LOL

    I am super looking forward to it, if it isn't that obvious. Haha!

  7. That's nonsense! You look amazing in person! Haha! I love this post. Made me think if Kookie thinks it's okay to wear cropped tops sans the abs, then it's totally OKAY.

    Yeah, closet tour, please. Not just the shoe cabinet. Demanding lang. :P

  9. I love the crop top trend and high waist bottoms are totally the key! I absolutely love the print of that skirt. So pretty and colorful. And I like that that crop top has some asymmetry to it. Very flattering! <3
