Cropped Tops? Yes, please!

We've seen fashion-forward Whitney Port wearing them, so naturally, it's our turn now.   I'll admit it, I'm not 100% sure how to pull off the cropped top perfectly, but I think I've got some pretty decent ideas.

First off, I'd probably say to wear with jeans that fit you flawlessly...no muffin tops or apple bottoms wanted!  A dark skinny, or a high-waisted bell bottom, both with, as Rachel Zoe says, tranny shoes.
