Fashion Forward: Cropped

This fashionista believes it takes a bold woman to wear a crop top with confidence. It takes an even bolder one to make a crop top herself! This DIY adventure comes from A Beautiful Mess, where guest blogger Kara revealed a Goodwill find for the whopping cost of $4.

Kara wanted an on-trend crop top but didn’t want to shell out; instead, she took a basic tee and altered it. Check out her tutorial—it helps if you have a similar top to use as a guide. Looks like a quick project without too many rules.

It’s entirely a coincidence that A Beautiful Mess author Elsie is one of the owners of Red Velvet, a Missouri-based shop packed full of vintage clothing and goods. It’s our new favorite spot on the web for a bit of inspiration!
