In DC, inclement weather usually results in an early work dismissal which allowed me time to pull out my laptop and casually browse New York Fashion Week’s Spring 2014 trends and everything that we have to look forward to.  Every week until Spring finally arrives, we are going to showcase one of our favorite trends that we can’t wait to style! The crop top is hands down my favorite trend for spring 2014.  I love the fact that it can be styled in so many different ways and for all ages.  From a hip down town city girl to a sophisticated lady like ensemble.  Here are some of our favorite takes on this trend. Let the inspiration begin! Now time to tone up those abs w/ 8 weeks to go!  Or you can always just layer the look 😉 xo
