Toyota Blue Grass Stakes Fashion; Crop Top Trend

Try the Crop Top Trend at the 2014 Blue Grass Stakes: The 2014 Blue Grass Stakes takes place at the Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, KY. It’s not quite time for the Kentucky Derby just yet, but there is no reason you can’t go all out and look great! This is the perfect race to try the crop top trend paired with a high waisted skirt. This trend started last year and is even more popular this spring.

To pull off the crop top trend at Keeneland for the 2014 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes, choose a pencil skirt or a full skirt, but either way, keep the skirt high waisted and make sure it covers your bellybutton. You only want to see a small sliver of skin. Also, by keeping your skirt high-waisted, you cover up any flaws or problem areas and highlight the smallest part of your waist, giving you a slimming effect. Also make sure your skirt hits at your knee or below. You don’t want to wear this trend with a mini skirt, because that would show too much skin and you want the focus on your slim waist; or you could even wear this trend with pants, like Vanessa Hudgens (pictured below).

This look is actually demure and lady like, rather than flashy or showy. You can mix and match or you can even find a matching set. Check out how Scarlett Johansson keeps her look simple and elegant with a full skirt and a monochromatic look or check out Khloe Kardashian and how she also keeps her look simple, elegant, and monochromatic, but with a sleek pencil skirt. Also, don’t be afraid to play with color and print with this crop top trend; for inspiration, check out Selena Gomez, Zooey Deschannel, or Zoe Saldana (all pictured below).

My favorite fashion picks for the 2014 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes are the high waisted black pencil skirt paired with the black and white striped crop top. You can also try the beautiful matching crop top and skirt set from Anthropologie; it has a lady like and yet modern vibe to it. Pair the black and white Modcloth cropped look with a pop of color.

Try a golden yellow fascinator for your pop of color by Fashion at the Races. For the Anthropologie look try the beautiful blue fascinator to pick up on the blue in the embroidery. The blue doesn’t match exactly, which is what you want to add more depth to your look.

This crop top inspired trend is fun and flirty and yet classy and elegant, making it perfect for a great time at the 2014 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes! The Toyota Blue Grass Stakes takes place at Keeneland on Saturday, April 12, 2014. Stay tuned for picks, posts, and predictions.
