Great post, love christensen :))

Am adoring the cropped tweed MJ jacket too xx
I like the looks from ADAM and Chanel!
Ah! I'm a huge fan of cropped jackets, so many gorgeous examples here! Helena looks amazing in the 1st photo! :)

love cropped jackets and tops, helena looks gorgeous there!
Helllo, CC. Love this post to bits!
J'adore also that wonderful tweed jacket from Marc Jacobs' resport collection and the beatiful outfits at Chanel and Michael Kors Resort.
Clearly a showing of how to do cropping well!
Have a lovely week my dear :)
Heya CC! I love the new way you've put the descriptions - makes it much easier to tell what's what.
Crops are fantastic, and I hadn't had the guts to wear one yet, but I think with the inspiration you've provided I'll be able to wear one without being too indecent! xx Leia
I love Chanel of course! YAY!
Have a great Sunday, honey!

I've been loving cropped jackets since I got a little ruffled bolero last year. Cropped shirts -- no, not for me.
I just bought a cute D&G crop top that's blue and white gingham, very carrie a la sex and the city
For some reason, I really love that bright red outfit.
A great post for inspiration, darling.

I really like the red jacket and black/navy blue shorts outfit. :)
When I saw "crop" my mind went back to my Britney days from the late nineties. Nice to see these ones you posted are MUCH better. LOL.
Very cute. I especially love the cropped jackets.
LOVE this post! So many wonderful choices. I think the Muubaa Cropped Leather Bomber Jacket is my favorite. But the Emporio Armani, Marc Jacobs Resort, and Chanel are amazing as well. I think you've just convinced me to run out and buy a cropped jacket! :)
Elise Overland Resort jacket is the most beautiful! Muubaa, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors Resort, and Chanel are so fantastic! Thank you for added AF to your list!

I am loving the little black jacket in all of these! The second picture, top row is my favorite for some reason! I love the fancy sequin dress with simple and clean jacket! Happy Sunday :)
I have crop sweaters and a few that I have worn as a top....in the past... ;) For now I'll just keep on layering.
thats short and cute!!.. i loved the black ones.. umm.. they are HOT too!
this is like an array of the clothes in my woman's closet
Very pretty!
I'm such a fan of cropped jackets and vests... and the leather bomber jacket is gorgeous.
Wishing you a lovely Sunday dear CC!
♥xxoxo
The cropped leather bomber is too die for!!!
Oh wow, what interesting layering! I love the all black Chanel, the hem detail looks so amazing. And yum, love those pretty E&A dresses, the black jackets give such a wonderful contrast. Oooh and the Marc Jacobs resort look was so colourful, I am in love with that blazer! Hope you're having a lovely weekend :)
thank goodness. I was beginning to worry! :) happy Sunday!
CC you are right, the MJ crop jacket is darling. I like crop jackets b/c I am petite and I look taller but it's a wonderful piece for layering. : )
i love cropped cardigans and jackets!
but i hadn't thought of layering a cropped top over a tank top...
i'll need to be trying that...SOON!
i couldn't pay attention to anything after helena christensen. her body is insane.
i like vest look.....
Amazing post,
I really like the cropped jacket.

Love the cropped style, very cool.
I'm in love with the McQ cropped vest!
Thanks again for your compliment. I love my boots too hihi =)
My study is all about real estate, family law and corporations now, but i'm going to make a switch next year; i want to study Information law; everything around and about information; copyright, law and art, law and brands, patent law, etc. Looks like a bridgde from the boring area to the magazinesworld to me, doesn't it?

I must admit that the cropped vest Helena is wearing can be very frightening if one hasn't visited the gym! ;)
However, the Michael Kors and Chloe are my favorite looks.
Great post!
love the short jacket look....feminine fashion is defined with them. Longer the arms on the wearer the better. e.g. the leather (brown)jacket above is perfect!
.....;)

Oh, fantastic cropped inspiration! HOpe you are having a lovely Sunday. xx b
Love these pieces--what a fun mix of structured and hippie-wear! I adore the Chanel.
I def think cropped jackets are flattering ..however, I'm beyond "crop tops" at this age ...but I did get my fill of them in two different decades lol!
the cropped look doesn't quite work for my long torso but i love those armanis that are on the longer side.
(thanks for doing the survey, it's for a contest i was shortlisted in and i really appreciate it :)
I really love the Antonio Berardi, ADAM, and Chanel. The Antonio Beradi micro jacket is so amazing. I love how the dress and jacket match so amazing. Lovely post as usual.

The Kain cropped top outfit is definately someting to try out!!
And a cropped jacket is always a great way to spice things up!
Wow, so retro, yet novel... cool looks!
Love, Love, Love this post! I love cropped garments for layering pieces. Hey, I gave you an award on my blog ... come by to check it out!
I love that cover. Helena is amazing. Hope you had a good weekend. Cheers!
I don't own any midriffs, but I do own a cropped jacket and a waistcoat. I love pairing them up with my summer dresses.
love the white top with the tan skirt!
great way to think about crops without baring your belly button! i love crop jackets, always a cute way to spice up an outfit.
I love the fringed crop top and waistcoats -I think your blog is really quirky and chic - I'd really appreciate if you would check out my blog and become a follower on it! -http://cocobutterlipbalmx.blogspot.com/
It's always hard to find something good to go under a crop. These are all gorgeous. x
Crop is bold and beautiful.
Love Elise Overland.
I love cropped jackets and tops!!!!!! are so cool <3<3<3
kisses
Beautiful outfits x
Wauw, you've got a really nice blog! I can look around here for hours! Nice nice nice
love the VEDA jacket.. it would fit perfectly to my summer wardrobe!
always appreciate the florals done by Leonard...surprised to see the animal print in the collection!
Fab NEW week darling CC!! ~XO*
Thank you! I saw the cropped look was getting so much attention I started fearing for my abs (of mush). I love the cropped jacket look...especially that fur bolero number!
Helena rocks. I was looking for a crop top this weekend...just couldn't find the perfect one. Maybe it's better to make one yourself??
Love Jojo xx

Thank god we don't have to wear cropped tops alone! Extremely difficult to pull off. Always love your wide selection of images.
I am so not impressed with this look and I hope that the trend is over soon. One season of this will be enough.
I HOPE THE CROP TOPS SHOWING BARE SKIN BELOW DON'T TURN INTO TOO MUCH OF A TREND, I REALLY DON'T LIKE THEM, I DONT THINK THEY LOOK FLATTERING.
I'm so sorry darling, I've skipped more than ten posts ! I'm in exam revisions and I don't even have the time to visit your blog properly... I'm really sorry ! But your posts are always magnificent... I've cropped a tutu lately, it turned out just perfect !
And have a good week ;D
those are very nasty outfits!
Nice pics, but not a fan of the crop style. Maybe putting a tank underneath would help though. I did like the cropped white shirt with the pencil skirt...however, one would have to be quite skinny to pull it off!
fab ideas on how to make cropped pieces wearable!
good suggestions for making this look more wearable.
i want everything!!! oooh you always make me dream!!! i want to have money now!
