Do you ever look at what someone else is wearing and think, “Thats so cute, but I could never pull it off!”? Well, guess what? You can! I always try to live by the rule that as long as you feel good, you’ll look good. And even if you look like a hot mess, you still feel like a babe on the inside so who cares?
With all that said, I know that the words “neon”, “crop top”, and “wide leg pants” can send most women running for the hills! Well since this post is all about trying something totally new, I decided to put all three dreaded words into the same outfit and it turned out to be one of my favorites! The high waist of the BCBG pants make the Mara Hoffman crop top much more “Kate Hudson Bohemian Chic” than “Britney Spears circa 1998”, right?
And a huge thanks to KK Bloom in Charlotte for helping me take a risk in fashion!
What’s a trend you’re dying to try but are too nervous? Leave it in the comments!
This outfit is by far my favorite that you’ve posted.. so cute!
I love that you always show the exact thing you are wearing along with a similar! It’s much appreciated! Although I can’t afford your beautiful jewelry line, pleas keep up on the outfits you wear I love your style!
I totally have the same philosophy! Who cares as long as you feel good about yourself?! And I LOVE this top and pants combo!

Emily! LOVE THIS! I actually emailed you yesterday asking about this crop top, I’m so glad you posted this! You are simply precious! XOXO
How cute are you!! Loving your blog!! Thanks!
I love it when fashion risks end up being one of my favorite outfits to wear! I would have never guessed that a wide leg pant with a crop top would work so well. Great job pulling it off! My item that I always get so nervous to wear is high waisted jean shorts. I just can’t seem to make the transition, but I love seeing other people wear them!
I have been dying to see this outfit! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Hi Emily,
Your outfit is absolutely adorable, and I love the crop top, but where did you get your necklace from? I’ve never seen anything like that before and am very interested. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and be blessed.
Thank you!
This is super cute. I’m 26 and I want to dress mature and still look fun. Thanks Emily
Hi Emily,
Your outfit is absolutely adorable and I love the crop top, but do you remember where you got your necklace from? I’ve never seen anything like it before and am very interested to say the least. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and be blessed!
Thank you!
Thanks! It’s from my new jewelry line. Here is the link: http://emilymaynard.com/necklaces/leela-necklace.html
I’m seriously obsessed with this entire look! The neon pants are perfection, I think I need to get them!!

It is a GORGEOUS outfit and fits you like a glove! But to me, it is absolutely NUTS to spend over 200 $ for this top! It’s down (in CAN$) to 213 $ from… 282 $! for less than a metre of fabric… It’s a tiny bit of beeding, a frock that costs dollars to make. Yikes.
I’ve been dying to try this trend…it looks so great on you! You should do a post on hair/hair extensions. Would love to know what you swear by 🙂
Seriously, such an amazing outfit! You rocked it, Emily! Thanks for the outfit inspo 🙂 I’m 5’0 and love a good wide leg pant for some added height!
Hi Emily,
I absolutely LOVE everything about this outfit especially that necklace 😉
I am definitely gravitating towards different clothing pieces and colors and stepping out of my comfort zone. You just never know what you will end up liking 🙂
xoxo
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Now THAT is a crop top I would wear!!!
XOXO, Jenn

The trend I want to try is statement necklaces but I have the worst time matching them with earrings. What’s the best way to do this? Buy the pieces together or just do one or the other?
Head to toe… Love it all! I think when your a mature women and not sixteen the only way to wear the crop tops is with a high waisted skirt/pants/shorts, it turns something that could be trashy into something classy and fun. Emily, the necklace is unusual and reasonable good work!
You would look good in anything! You are beautiful!
It’s a nice fit Emily.
I love this outfit!!!
Love this outfit! Those pants are great!

I love this! I also feel the same way when I want to try to wear something a little out there. You pulled this off amazingly. I never think I can wear rompers or bright colored pants….but they are so fun and cute and everyone should try them! 🙂
Emily…you’re stunningly beautiful and modelesque…I’m pretty sure you can pull off anything you want! 🙂
You look beautiful in whatever you wear, because you’re truly beautiful on the inside. I lost my fiancée in the summer if 2012, and you give me hope I can one day be happy and enjoy life again. God bless!
LOOOVEEE that crop top on you! So super cute!!

Girl, you have out done yourself with your new jewerly line. I purchased my first piece late on Tuesday night before it was made official that it was up and running. I ordered the Leela necklace and received it this afternoon. I was blown away when I put it on. Can’t wait to wear it when I go out tonight (even if I end up just going to the grocery store). I also love the attention to detail you gave to the packaging. I’m definitely keeping the pouch and box that it came in because it’s too nice to throw away! I’ve also just ordered the Kate necklace and am psyched to get it. Can’t wait to see what else you’ll bring to light in the future.
Hi Emily! I am one of the owners of vestique. We have a store at 1532 East Blvd. in Charlotte as well as a great website, vestique.com, and would love to outfit you for one of your style posts. We adore your boho/chic look and have lots of styles we think would fit your look well.
Emily, thanks for this fun inspiration! You’re so right and I’ve found that stepping out of my comfort zone often ends up in really fun outfits! (Along with a few “hot messes”:) You’re spot on with the Kate Hudson look. I’m short so wide leg pants like yours scare me, but I’ve been dying to try them! Maybe I will now! Thanks for this great post! Love your fun, classy style!

Just bought those shoes, love them!! You’re gorgeous and have great style, can’t wait to copy this outfit!
I would never think of this outfit on my own, but it is absolutely amazing! I’m glad that wide-leg pants seem to be coming back. Thanks for sharing!

Emily,
I love the outfit you chose to wear for this shoot. It is definitely bold and fun. I just wish this outfit was more affordable. How’s a struggling college kid suppose to afford a $138 crop top? Do you have any dupes that are more affordable?
Thanks,
Gabriela
This is by far one of my favourite outfits you’ve posted, and usually I pretty much despise neon! I love the effortless look of the pants without any buttons or zippers in the front. The pair you posted as an alternative have a zipper, are there any others that you know of that look a little more like the ones you are wearing? Also, any alternative tank options similar to the one you’re wearing that might be a little more affordable for us struggling college students/fashionistas?!
Thanks!
