Chic Crop

Cameron Durham Photography
Top: Chan Luu (borrowed; find in-store at Sam and Lilli boutique in West Ave.) // Skirt: Yoshi Kondo (borrowed; find in store at Sam and Lilli) // Shoes: Zara (similar) // Clutch: Shanaz Designs (borrowed; find in-store at Sam and Lilli) // Earrings: Marie-Laure Chamorel (borrowed; find in-store at Sam and Lilli) // Ring: Chan Luu (borrowed, similar; find in-store at Sam and Lilli)
I’m all about the subtle crop top. Of course I mean the cut at the waistline, because this Chan Luu Tropical Peach Embroidered crop top is really anything but subtle, with its gorgeous embroidery and beading. There’s nothing better than pairing a speaks-for-itself-piece with clean lines and neutral colors. So when I saw the white pleated midi skirt I knew it would be perfect.
I paired up with the wonderful Sam and Lilli boutique in West Ave. (in the River Oaks area of Houston) last month, to style four different looks for an email blast that went out last week. It was so fun getting to pull pieces and work towards the vision I had in my head. This was the first outfit we decided on, and Cameron and I had so much fun shooting this flirty, chic ensemble. I want every piece, as they seriously are timeless. How great is the Shanaz Designs clutch? Based right here in Houston and USA made, I love how the accessories are both versatile and unique.
Be sure to stop by the next week or so to check out the three other outfits I chose and styled. In the meantime though, here’s the final email blast product that went out last week:

    So cute–the neutral pallet is to die for 🙂 I also love that it is just a slight crop–classy and sexy all in one!
