Things that Go Together: High Waists and Crop Tops

10 Aug Things that Go Together: High Waists and Crop Tops

Summer staples are all about style that works with the heat. Crop tops and high waisted bottoms accomplish this with as much aplomb as possible. These looks are all about sustainable, and ethical crop tops with high-waisted bottoms. But unlike the Matching Sets outfits, none of these are matching. Every crop top is a different brand from the bottom to highlight mixing and matching!
