There’s a list of fashion faux pas one can easily commit during winter. Exposing a hefty chunk of your skin to brutal cold tops that list. But in the case of Glee star Naya Rivera, she gets a pardon for three reasons.

First, California’s winter weather isn’t as frigid as in other parts of the country already buried in snow at this time of the year, so an outfit that exposes some skin is forgivable.
Second, her midriff is so toned, she can flaunt it anytime she wants and nobody will question her for it.

And third, her outfit is so stunning, we are completely mulling over the merits of wearing cropped tops ourselves, and lace ones at that, in the dead of winter.
So yes, Naya! Bare all the midriff skin you want.
The 26-year old actress, who is engaged to hip-hop singer Big Sean, exuded a fresh and carefree aura that day. We’re hoping she keeps the hair because it’s really becoming on her.
Despite the summery vibe of her cropped top, Naya still managed to inject a winter vibe to her ensemble by teaming it up with high waist trousers, a large-collared coat, and black strappy sandals.
So if you can’t wait for spring or summer to wear lace cropped tops, try her look! Here are some lace cropped tops from to add to your wardrobe:
1. Camille Lace Crop Top, $38.00 at Nasty Gal
2. Victoria Crochet Crop Top, $58.00 at Nasty Gal
3. Lennox Lace Crop Top, $38.00 at Nasty Gal
4. Wild Romance Crop Top, $68.00 at Nasty Gal
5. Gemini Lace Crop Tank, $30.00 at Nasty Gal
6. Scalloped Lace Crop Top, $32.00 at Nasty Gal
Here’s another reason why we love Naya: she knows how to utilize her shoes well. The singer wore a pair of heels that we’ve seen her use on the red carpet, too — her Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals. She wore the same black ankle-strap sandals to the TrevorLIVE LA event earlier this month.
