When crochet hit the runway during the Fall NYFW for Spring 2016, I had instant reservations. Sorry to the crochet cronies, but I just immediately had a flashback to a matching ombre crochet set I wore in college {my friends still make fun of me for this aggressively hilarious outfit}. But this time around designers have put a chic stitch in crochet, so much that I bought an entire crochet outfit by Alexis. Contrary to my college crochet getup, I streamlined my crochet look by going all white. I’m in love with this crochet cross back top and tie waist short duo as it perfect for those hot summer days paired with a flat or low heel sandal. I think you could even rock this look for night with a black sandal, but for obvious reasons, my nightlife adventures are taking a hiatus, so I am rocking this pair for a daytime stroll in Charleston.
To add a bit of merriment, I accessorized with this sunflower colored clutch. I’ve carried this bag non-stop this summer. It’s so bright and cheerful to me, and pops perfectly against my all white wonder.
