I'm not afraid to wear a crop top — not after trying the trend for myself last spring, anyway. But sometimes, like during the hot summer months, you're in the mood for a shortcut to easy (read: one-piece) dressing. 

Enter this dress by Asos. It has the appearance of being a crop top paired with a skirt thanks to a sheer panel, but has all the ease of throwing on a dress. I've worn the navy color to work with black flats, and because my mom taught me that if you love something you should buy it in every color, I also bought the pearl pink version to wear on weekends. 

ASOS crepe crop top skater dress, $68, available at Asos.
