Cropped Sweater & Express finds

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a fun weekend planned. Heading out tonight for the husband’s work party and then a fashion/tech meet-up in Manhattan. What to wear, what to wear…

At first with this cropped shirt trend I was like “yeah right”, but I actually really like the look when layered over something longer. The proportions seem very fresh to me.

So inspired by a Pinterest look, I found myself a cute but inexpensive cropped sweater and layered over a tunic blouse. My metallic shoes and a statement necklace added a little visual interest to the black & white.

Anyone else trying the cropped shirt trend?

Sweater – H&M (similar), Blouse – Nordstrom Rack (similar), Pants – JBrand (similar), Necklace – F21, Shoes – Banana Republic (on sale!), Clutch – Coach

I didn’t really fall in love with anything from Express this winter, but they have some adorable things for the spring/summer and everything is 40% off now – I think today is the last day of sale so don’t wait!

Here are my favs:

This romper is soooo cute! I ended up taking an 8 in it, so if you are busty I would say size up for sure. The 6 just pulled up too much. Also love the black and white version. 

Haven’t been able to try this on, but love a flattering black jumpsuit.

This white tuxedo vest is so fresh and polished, I took a medium.

Want an easy floral sundress? Look no further. I took a medium.

Dress this uber flattering snakeskin print dress up or down. I took a size 6.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!
