Crop tops are sooooooooo hot for the fall/winter and will still be hot for this spring.

I have seen some really, really gorgeous ones but I refuse to show my tummy lol. It's not a look for me.

I've had this one pinned to my inspiration board on my wall for a few weeks and decided why not lol

I have no idea what designer pieces she is wearing. I normally try to write it down but clearly I forgot lol

I absolutely love this printed sweater knit that I picked up while I was in New York from Metro Textiles. I can't remember if it was the first trip or the second. I actually think it was the second trip lol. I purchased a TON of it becasue I loved the weight.

What I noticed when trying on crop tops in the store, when layering them, I had to make sure the porportions were right or it would totally chop me up. The model in the inspiration picture looks tall. Her crop sweater is longer than mine AND her button down is longer as well. When I tried this on with a longer white button down it looked a HOT MESS lol. I decided my good ole trusty regular button down would look best lol.

I wore this to meet with a client and instead of wearing black pants, I decided on this vibrant green-ish color. They are soooooooooooo pretty in person. This picture really doesn't do them ANY justice at all. I love the length and the fit is perfect. I purchased these a while back. LOVE EM!

I kept my accessories pretty neutral. I pulled out my favorite purse that Tony got sick of seeing lol, my favorite nude pumps and my current favorite statement necklace.

I MAY still have one available or one similar in my online shop http://adriennesessentials.com/products-page/accessories/ scroll down for the accessories. Im waiting on a back order of handbags/clutches to come in also.

And my favorite lol

For those of you who sew, here is a review:

 Butterick 5922

Pattern Description: Close-fitting, pullover top has back neck slit, narrow hem and hook & eye closing.

Pattern Sizing: 6-14


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't even use the instructions or look at them. If you have made a basic top, you can make this with your eyes closed. I took me longer to cut it than to actually sew it up.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I just needed a basic shirt pattern and this one fit the bill and I had it in my stash lol.


Fabric Used: Sweater Knit from Metro Textiles.


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened it about an inch and a half above the waist line. I didn't add the back neck slit, or the hook and eye. Since my fabric was stretchy I used FOE (fold over elastic) on the neckline, and sewed it under.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is a great basic shirt pattern to have. I highly recommend it and if I need another basic shirt pattern I will sew it again and again.

Conclusion: Great pattern!

Great looking top. I love how you styled it. I may have to imitate this one! Would you mind?

I'm jealous! Do you not have several inches of snow where you live? I was stuck indoors for a few days due to freezing temps, snow and some ice!
