OOTD: bananas & midriff experimentation

"This shh is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S" - Gwen Stefani

The moment I spotted this banana print fabric in Cotton On I was in love. I was however a little unsure on the cropped style of the t-shirt. Crop tops have been a massive trend these past few summers but the few I own never seem to sit right. Being 5'11, crops tops can easily become overly cropped on me and result in a lot of midriff on show. The reason I love this banana top is its the perfect length. Although I'm not usually one to bare my mid-section, I felt I little daring last week and decided to try wearing the top with my favourite Esprit mid-rise jeans. I am still not 100% convinced about this whole midriff thing, but I can say I am completely in love with this banana print.

After searching for a quote for this blog post Tara and I couldn't help, but thing of Gwen Stefani's 'Hollaback Girl' song. I'm having total throwback moment watching the old music video. She's even wearing a crop top in the video, how convenient ;)
