Through my teens and early 20s, I was never a busty girl. Actually, I was rather, flat chested. Then I had a baby. My small girls went to really big girls and I had no idea how to dress those bad boys. I’m relatively small, ok really small. I’m 4’11 and petite, so DDs look strange on me and pretty much anything that buttons in the front is not happening. When I stopped nursing my first baby, the girls returned to their smallish state, only to jump back in size with my new baby. So, I’m back to not knowing how to dress up top and can totally sympathize with busty girls now. I remember a friend of mine once told me that she couldn’t wear strapless bras and dresses because of her bust and I was like…what?! Now, I get it, the struggle is real.
Luckily, this crop top, fit and didn’t look like a tent coming off my chest. Hooray!

Loving this adorable crop top on you and how you’ve kept the styling simple! It’s a good length because some of these tops are a bit too short.

I really like those scalloped shorts! 🙂
It is tricky dressing a changing body during and post pregnancy, but it all settles down in the end! 🙂 this tank is definitely working for you, so you should keep wearing it 🙂
Thank you for the link up.

You’re so adorable! I’m small and petite too, have to get virtually everything I own altered in some way LOL

Those shorts are calling my name!! I love them! I am sharing this post with my daughter to show her how cropped tops are done with class! She love fashion and will really like this post too! Susan
I love both looks! They both have their own “personality” so to speak. Loving that top!

Your crop top is so fashion forward yet you’ve managed to do it without looking slutty! I can’t stand it when people are trying to bring back the Britney Spears era. But this looks so good!
You are wearing it so well – I love those pink scalloped shorts – so cute!! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Girl…you look great!!!! Thanks for hosting the link-up as usual AND be sure to stop by today since y’all are co-hosting ;-).
Thank you for another friendly link up! I love your scalloped shorts!
Much love Coco
I cannot get over how fabulous you look so soon after giving birth! And as an A cup myself, I definitely remember the crazy DD size I was while nursing my daughter. Thank goodness it was only temporary because I could only wear half of my tops! I just love that top and scalloped shorts on you!
This crop is adorable- and so versatile! Love you in it- full on Babe Mode! 🙂

Love this outfit! The crop top and the shorts go so well together. I had the same problem after I had my first one. Was not used to actually having cleavage! But then they went back to my normal size. ~Cynthia
CAn’t get enough of that pretty scalloped shorts!!
Best!

Thanks again for the link up, Ladies!
I have not gotten on the crop top trend yet, they scare me because I do to want to expose any part of my mid section. I love both ways you’ve worn it here.

Hope to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
I love how you styled this with the shorts! I am all for crop tops with high waisted pieces like that! (although I’ve never tried it myself!)

LOVE those shorts, oh..and the sunnies too!!

The crop top looks great on you! I could never rock them myself unless it’s with a higher waisted skirt. I love both looks on you!

You are looking sooo darling in those scalloped shorts! Love the color too. xx, Conni
I’m a busty girl myself, so I can totally relate. I love button downs, but I can’t wear them, and many other styles. It can be frustrating.
Ummm can we talk about how amazing you look!? I love the top and those shorts are definitely a favorite. I have a similar pair and they are awesome.

I’m pretty busty and have shied away from crop tops because of it. I bought one last week that was looser at the bottom and I’m glad i made it work. This one is perfect and looks so great on you! This is the kind I need!

I love that top… but, I am really digging those scalloped shorts still! I may actually come back and purchase them later, because I am thinking they’ll be perfect for when we go to Disney in a couple of months… I got to have something cute to wear on vacation! lol! Oh, and I totally understand what you mean… I don’t have much, but when I nursed my two it was insane 🙂
Oh wow, that’s a huge size jump! I wouldn’t know what to do if that ever happened to me :O You pulled off the look great though! Love those scallop shorts 🙂

As a pretty busty lady myself I understand but that crop top looks amazing on you. I love love both pairs of shoes and those adorable coral shorts. You look great so soon after the baby, Brooke. =)
I am seriously so in love with the scalloped hem!

Oh, how I need those scalloped shorts in my life right now! They are simply lovely and those color block heels are perfect for this outfit!

Girl, I WISH I had boobs! I know you might struggle with it but I struggle the opposite way! Sigh–we can’t win 🙂 Might as well just embrace your beauty..because you are GORGEOUS, girl…”girls” and all! LOL!

Beautiful look, Brooke! I love your scallop hem shorts and those cute shoes! It’s crazy how pregnancy can really change your body. I haven’t experienced it yet, but my mom’s feet grew a half size for both of her pregnancies and stayed that way!
No boob size is ever ideal! I have b-cups and I mostly love them because it’s just enough there without getting in the way. But I would love to go bra-less when I want to wear a backless top or a top with funky straps. I just can’t get away with that! The grass is always greener.

LOL, love that you can see Erica’s reflection in your shades! I can’t even really tell this top is a crop top on you. It just looks cute and flattering and perfectly paired with those scalloped shorts! I also like the way you paired it with the pencil skirt!

I love the scalloped hem shorts.
I like the shorts. And you look great. I always want bigger breasts. My mother was very heavy chested (she had to have a reduction) and she always prayed that I wouldn’t have to go through the same thing. I always tell her she prayed too hard, because I’m nowhere near being heavy chested. Lol. Thanks for linking up at Who’s Wearing What Wednesdays at Pastries, Pumps and Pi!
I’m a sucker for scalloped hems! Love the colour of the shorts too.
Sincerely,
