Backlash: Kim Kardashian has lost 100,000 Instagram followers after paparazzi pictures of her natural backside led fans to accuse the mum-of-two of turning to surgery and Photoshop to maintain the social media image of her flawless body
Turn up the heat in a lace-up T-shirt like Kim's
Kim Kardashian is on holiday and of course we want to know what she's packed for the trip. Especially since we'll have to start thinking about sorting our own summer suitcases soon!
So far we've spotted her soaking up the sun in a vintage Dior bikini, and now the reality superstar is showing off her enviable frame in yet another vintage piece.
Her crop top is by Dolce & Gabbana and features a revealing lace-up design as well as the brand's logo emblazoned across the front and a knotted hem.
Kim teamed the tee with a pair of black bikini briefs and some mirrored sunglasses, proving that less is definitely more in this case!
It hails from London-based retailer Open For Vintage, and she seems to have taken a liking to this shop. Unfortunately it's now sold out, but you can check out their other retro finds by following the link (right).

Kim was enjoying a girls' holiday in Mexico to celebrate her sister Kourtney Kardashian's birthday this week when photographers snapped her in a variety of skimpy bikinis.
The pictures showed off Kim's natural figure and revealed her curvaceous behind which was a little dimpled with cellulite.
But fans have seized on the difference between the paparazzi pictures and the snaps Kim posts on social media herself, claiming that Photoshop and even plastic surgery are behind the difference.
The mum-of-two was blasted on Twitter and Instagram with former fans declaring her 'fake'.
Photoshop? Kim pioneered the 'belfie', a bum selfie, but now fans are accusing her of turning to photoshop to get that luscious derriere
One Instagram user told Kim that there was 'nothing real' about her.
Geegeelove1 wrote: 'Kim you make me feel sick talking about your flawless body when you run to the plastic surgeon for everything. There is nothing real about you.'
Another joined in the chorus of criticism writing: 'Nothing natural about years of botox'.
While one former fan, whose handle on Instagram is christian.telleria, wrote: 'Your body is completely fake'.
Another user, Hey_Kendi, commented underneath a picture of Kim with sister Kourtney: 'The natural one. Kimmy would look that good too if she stayed away from all that plastic surgery. Injections, implants, shots; just say no.'
Undeniable difference: Kim's backside certainly does look smoother in her own Instagram snaps
Another fan blamed Kim for allegedly airbrushing her photographs.
Ray Sanders tweeted: 'Absolutely unbelievable. Wake up and face reality. Photoshop is your best friend @KimKardashian.'
Some fans came to Kim's defense with Susanna Reid arguing with Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan about the pictures.
Piers said: 'The air brushing is in your face... This is what she really looks like.'
But Susanna declared that Kim 'looks fantastic' and 'very slim'.
Kim is famous for thrilling fans with bikini selfies and is even partial to the odd nude shot.
Infamous: Kim famously caused a controversy when she posted a naked selfie of herself with the caption: 'When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL'

And now fans are claiming that Kim's body is very different from the perfectly voluptuous one she has revealed to fans on Instagram.
However Kim clearly didn't give a jot about the backlash and firmly reminded her critics that she was the one with the 'flawless' figure, luxuriating on a beach in Mexico.
The beauty tweeted on Wednesday: 'Oh and as for me you ask? ...I'm just sitting here on the beach with my flawless body.'
