Me Pluss the Crop Top

I just had to try it...just once, just to say I did.

I was wary of showing skin.  I picked up this blouse, I put it back down, I left the store, I sat in the car, I lingered at the door.  I just didn't know...

Then I went back into Rainbow and tried it on. The long sleeves were promising but I could see a sliver of skin...

"That's the point", I kept telling myself.  And it is the point, to show a little skin.

Crop Tops have been all the rage in the plus size blogging ranks. So I got up my courage and got me a high waisted pant from Asos Curve to go with it.

 What made me pull the trigger on it was the cashier.  This plus size lady realized my hesitation and just had to say something.
"What's the problem, it a cute top" she said,
"I know, its just that I know my tummy will show and I'm buying it on purpose" I replied.
"You wanna switch stomachs? Cause I have no problem taking yours for a spin at Magic City"

And that sealed the deal, cause the simple fact was, I didn't want to switch stomachs with her.  I don't have a wash board but it wasn't an 'apron' as she described hers.  It made me think that certain fashions aren't for everybody or every body type.  And if I could pull one off, it might encourage somebody else to be a little more daring with their own Pluss Fashion.

But these shoes though?  I needed no convincing.  These high voltage kicks had my name on them, the only question I was asking was "what other colors you got?"

Me and the crop top will be acquaintances, we probably wont ever be besties or even be tight like that, she is too young for me.  I leave her to the 18 year olds, the fashionably bold and the gym rats with the six pack like nature intended. But I just had to try it...At least once...
