Channel Your Inner Kelly Kapowski By Flashing Some Belly

Summer is right around the corner, which means it's time to bust out the short shorts and belly-baring tops!

Luckily for our CoColicious readers, Fashion Star's Daniel Musto is here to make sure you look ab fab rather than absolutely tacky.

The midriff has had a hiatus since Britney wasn't a girl, nor a woman. In recent months I've seen a few belly buttons coming out to say hi in the pop music world. Although this trend comes in waves, we can thank the man-eating Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell for its creation.

The question is, "How do I show my mid drift without coming off as a hussy?" With Kelly as our inspiration, and me being the messenger, I will inform you that adding a cropped jacket is the way to go. Paired with a cropped top, a cropped jacket will cover your shoulders and arms, which sucks the "streetwalker" out of your look.

Last month, I mentioned floral denim. A floral top under a solid jacket screams SPRING! A cropped denim jacket can also be fun, especially if you chopped it yourself.

So gear up, get dressed, and swing by the Max for a milkshake. AC Slater is waiting with a chauvinistic remark about your outfit.
