It's summertime and the living's easy. No school, no stress -- except for the scorching weather outside. Can you say HOT? When leaving the house, not only should you be prepared to face the sun with a killer pair of sunnies, but also with a heat-friendly outfit. To take your summertime look one step further we're taking one out of Miley Cyrus' book to stay cool without sacrificing style. Meet your new best friend: the crop top. From tight and sexy to loose and beachy, this look will become your summer staple paired with jeans, shorts or even a cute maxi skirt. We've rounded up some of our favorite picks (under $40 each!) to help you get a head start as the temperature keeps rising. And we suggest you hurry, because global warming, duh.
