This is a crop top I've owned for over ten years. My husband bought it for me before we married, and that's part of why I've never gotten rid of it -- it was one of the first items we got while shopping together, and it's the only one still in my closet from that time (there was also a pair of burgundy wide-leg cropped pants, which are now long gone, but they were frequently worn with this very top).

Now, these days I don't choose high-waisted bottoms because I've come to realize that I'm quite short-torsoed and high-waisted is tricky on me, particularly when I'm not my skinniest. So styling this might be a little bit of challenge. The bottom band is ever so slightly sheer and printed with a pattern, and the back is slit slightly.

I may take this out for a test spin in an outfit with a jacket and some of my least-low-rise jeans to see how it feels now. For this photo, I just threw it on with some fairly-low-rise skinnies, but most of my jeans are only slightly higher rise than these. I wonder how this would look with a black midi skirt.

What do you think? It doesn't look like crop tops I'm seeing around, but does it look current or somehow dated? I've hung onto it all these years, and now crop tops are back, so it feels like it's either now or never!

Edited to add pics with some skirts I have. 3-4 VC stripe tube skirt, 5-6 stretch lace pencil skirt, 7-8 high-low hem skirt, 9-10 VC black tube skirt. Unsure whether this is flattering on my big hips but as Angie says, I'm highly sensitized to that area of my body, so I really value outside eyes. Suggestions welcome.
