Are you curvy-licious and dying to rock that CROP TOP you bought last summer?!?

Let’s get nerdy for a bit, according to wiki, the crop top is a top, the lower part of which is high enough to expose the waist, navel or some of the midriff. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, the influence of the crop top was introduced by celebs like Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera etc.

Coming back to the real problem, most of the curvy girls feel like the on-going fashion trends aren’t meant for their body type too, well guess what? YOU’RE WRONG! Every type of fashion trend is suitable for all body types.You’ve just got to find the right ensemble for your body shape.
