I could browse ASOS for HOURS. Literally, like eBay, why search through the first few pages when the best thing could be on the last?! So I usually save it up for a hardcore browsing sesh once in a while but have been keeping tabs on the crop tops recently as they've been bringing out some pretty damn good ones. They restocked the Alexa Chung style stripy crop top a few weeks ago after selling out and I whipped out my card asap, it sold out so fast last time! For the crop-wary out there, this one is perfection as a) it has longer sleeves, thus showing less skin and toning it down, b) it's fitted quite close rather than aslouchy 80s cut so avoids any Fame connotations, and it's not too short/not too low-cut so hits just at the right place. Remember the no belly button rule and you are sorted! I've never bought anything significant from ASOS before, in fact I don't think I've bought any clothes at all! I usually stick to my habit of buying one-off stuff for going out in and tend to use shopping trips for things I wear daily, so ASOS sort of hits the inbetween mark of being solely online so doesn't have the mainstream chance that everyone will be wearing the same item, but then again it's hugely popular. But I'm liking this top a looot, especially since it's made of a really light cotton, I hate chunky cotton things or worse, stretchy cotton t-shirts. It's worth noting though that the bottom white stripes of the centre and sleeves are actually ribbed. When I opened the package I thought 'eeek, it's going to be tight on my waist and then the rest will be baggy like a batwing top!' but it's cut straight so the top is almost weighted down by it- meaning it pulls in at the waist rather than just hanging off your boobs, if you see what I mean with crop tops! I got an 8, but if you're worried you don't have a smallish waist for your normal size, I'd go up just encase; ASOS stuff is usually cut quite small anyway.
And thank you for doing the poll!! Can't deny that most prefered the blue, but I still like the pink!! See I'm not exactly in the market for bright blue trousers, I have no real reason to have blue trousers! But I have been banging on about pink trousers for a while so I might just keep the pink. I know the blue fit better but when you really like an item, itbeing totally flattering isn't a top priority! I haven't had time to return them yet as I've just completed my second year and a million presentations, ahhhh! It's just been those few months where you always have a deadline so can't afford to have a few hours doing nothing. I'm into exam revision now but a few of my friends finish really early so my house will still be going out. Is it bad to go out over the exam period? Hmmm it's a bit daunting when people are actuallyliving in the libraries, I'm talking sleeping bags and all, but realistically you can't revise 24hours a day for a month. I need to get a decent average for study abroad which I am on the programme for!!! Not getting hopes up though guys, I worry about everything that can go wrong so I will wait until about August for results before waving the Swedish flags! Also two of my housemates have recently bought crop tops, I am so proud! I'm about to go through a huge load of posts in my google reader, and I've had to have the latest Elle sitting in my room unread for about two weeks- that's insane!
