The Best Summer Crop Top Outfit Costs Less Than $75

When we spotted Chicago local Dacey Cash in this summer-ready outfit, we stopped everything we were doing for two reasons: 1) those perfect white high-rise jeans, and 2) that cream-colored leopard blouse she craftily tied to create a crop top. Naturally, we needed to know where she scored this look and her answer was a pleasant surprise: Walmart. ("I always mix high and low fashion," she says, and Walmart makes that easy.) Luckily for us, this entire crop-top outfit costs less than $75, so we may just have to splurge on a visit to the Windy City to scout more chic looks. For now, Dacey is filling us in on all things Chicago and her summer style vibe.

Her style inspiration: "I like mixing boho, Parisian, and classic pieces."

Her summer vibe in one word: "Glowy!"

Her go-to piece for summer: "I think crop tops are always on trend for the summer."

The Outfit: "I chose the fun leopard-printed top with a button-down closure so I could tie it and wear it cropped with classic white high-waisted pants. I added brown leather sandals for a little extra height."

Chicago's unexpected fashion trend: "I would describe Chicago's style as sporty. I see most people wearing athleisure."

Her favorite spots in the city: "Oak Street Beach, the Art Institute, the Magnificent Mile, and Lakeshore Drive."

The one tourist spot worth seeing: "The Bean—you just have to do it! Then you can walk across the street for brunch at Wildberry.
