				<description>&#060;p&#062;Both versions work for me, very clever layering with this top!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Both versions look fantastic -- creative and interesting, yet flattering. The horizontal lines don't bother me at all on you.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;what a great way to make a cropped top work in an everyday wardrobe. i love the version with the skirt. the pant version is good, but i agree with suz, i would like to see it with other footwear, imo the booties break up the long line of your legs.&#038;nbsp;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;It is very good styling.  Looks equally nice with skirt or pants.  Very smart.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks, Deborah. The crop is from Cue. They also had it with the pattern in red. The shop assistant suggested wearing it over a black top, which I will probably try, but I had this top already hanging in my closet and thought that the colours might match. I am quite pleased as the top has been a bit of an orphan - I have only worn it about 5 times this season and I think I will wear it more if I layer it like this.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Good grief this is so fabulous!  Sharon I like both versions equally.  #1 goes to work and #2 is non work wear.  Love this look.  May I please ask where the crop top is from?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks all. I am trying to find some combinations that give me some shape and I think this crop style may do the trick!&#060;br /&#062;Suz, I love my pencil skirts, so I'm glad it works. I will definitely try out the cage sandals with the pants.&#060;br /&#062;Lantana, I am auditioning a few ideas for winter and I have to admit I find footwear tricky. I am going to try layering the crop top over a button-down shirt once the weather gets cooler.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I like both versions but see it as particularly figure flattering with the skirt. I think your pairing with the longer top is brilliant.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Interesting lines, Sharon, not cluttered or clashing at all.&#060;br /&#062;
I love both versions but I am not enthusiastic about the boots at this time of the year.&#060;br /&#062;
However I note that you are testing, so I see the boots coming into play in autumn or early spring.&#060;br /&#062;
I can see the crop top moving into winter as well, layered over a long sleeved top.&#060;br /&#062;
It is wonderful to see you post.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;SO&#060;/b&#062; clever!! &#038;nbsp; I really love the peplum effect in particular with the skirt! You are slim and strong and I don't think you need to worry about the horizontal lines. Especially because you've really confined this to two colours. And maybe also because the hem of the under blouse curves a bit. It works brilliantly!&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I like it with the pants, as well, but wonder if it might be better with your cage sandals than the booties? I might be wrong about that.&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Oooh! &#038;nbsp;I can't wait to copy you in the spring!&#038;nbsp;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I bought this crop top a week ago after realising the wisdom of Angies advice to wear it over a longer top to avoid flashing skin. I quite like the peplum effect that it gives, and I feel that since it is designed to be fairly tight, it doesn't look odd across the chest. My only concern with the skirt was that it does create a lot of horizontal lines, so I have also posted the pants version.&#060;br /&#062;What do you think? Does it work better with the pants?&#038;nbsp; Any styling ideas would be appreciated.
&#060;/p&#062;
