If you would have told me a year ago that I’d be wearing cropped tops this summer I would have called your bluff.  But as I’ve said here (and here too), finding the perfect cropped top — which for me is this American Apparel version, that provides the right amount of coverage and a proper fit was what turned me into a midriff barer.
