[quote=Anonymous]Wearing a crop top is dressing like a prostitute? seriously? quite a leap.  My teen also likes to dress this way. As long as her butt isn't hanging out of the shorts (and she has no desire for it to) then she can wear all the shorty shorts she wants to. I see nothing wrong with it--and she is skinny and tall, so she can pull it off. I don't love the crop top look either, however I told her she cannot wear them to school and she cannot wear anything where the fabric is above her navel, otherwise we're in tube top territory. The crop tops we've agreed on cut right at the navel or just below. And she's also into the oversized shirts over her shorts and I have reminded her that it looks like she's not wearing any shorts--we've compromised with tying one corner of the shirt up, but I'm sure she takes that down the minute she's out of sight.   She did show me a one piece bathing suit the other day that had the center cut out around the navel, and that item in particular did remind me of Julia Robert's outfit in Pretty Woman and I was like no way and she respects my response.  So far, I think her fashion choices are pretty on par with the majority of teens these days. There's nothing wrong with it and I don't think we should send the message to our girls that they're dressing inappropriately and attracting "the wrong kind of attention" if they're not wearing shorts down to their knees. What's next--we're going to get out our rulers and start measuring skirt length? [/quote]
