Honestly, does this look ridiculous?

marianna

This is what I wore today: I tucked my shirt into my skirt. I never do this, but I did it today. I don't know if it works on my apple shape... does it look horrible or can I get away with it once in a while?

Do you have a picture of it not tucked in?

No, but I felt that it looked messy and too long untucked.

Yeah I had a feeling untucked wouldn't be the answer but I thought a comparison wouldn't hurt. I don't think you look ridiculous at all but at the same time it might not be the most flattering look. I don't think it accentuates your apple shape if that is what you are asking.

I think it looks great- but did you have a hard time keeping it tucked and neat? that would have been my problem.

Not ridiculous at all. I don't see any tummy if that's what you are concerned about. That said, I find that for those of us with less defined waists, it's helpful to keep the top and the skirt relatively close in shade (so dark top with dark skirt, light top with light skirt). That way there isn't as much of a harsh break that draws attention to the midsection. Does that make sense? But having said that, this doesn't look bad at all the way it is. I'm just saying that for future tucking reference!

Kim, I didn't have any trouble keeping it tucked in. It was comfortable all day.

Sihaya, I don't have a profile picture...

Maya, I guess I was just concerned that I'd look like one big lump of fat. I absolutely understand what you're saying. Thanks for the tip!

Well, *that* is definitely not the case. But I agree with Sihaya that you should take a look from the side just to make sure you'll be comfortable. Sometimes even when I have something that gets YLF approval, I can't bring myself to wear it because it just makes me feel self conscious.

Maya, I wore this today and felt okay and not overly self conscious (not much more than usual anyway!), but in the back of my head I kept wondering if I looked weird. There's a couple more pics on my blog, but no side shots. I guess side shots *are* important. Live and learn!

Okay Marianna, I usually am pressed for time, but your picture MADE me come out of lurkerdom because my mouth. dropped. open. You are SO GORGEOUS!

YES wear the shirt tucked in with this outfit. You are sleek and very sassy! If you weren't self conscious, you really must wear this outfit again.

I agree with Angie. You might want to consider a belt if you want to add more waist definition. Your skirt may not have them, but you can either get a tailor to add loops or do it yourself. Looking fab as usual!

I think you look fantastic, you can absolutely get away with the shirt tucked in! It's a really stylish shirt, and I love the pearl bracelet too.

Marianna, you look incredible. So beautiful, your pic blew me away! I love the tuckage and think it would look even more fab (and perhaps a bit more "intentional", if that makes sense) with a belt. But if I recall correctly, I think you're a member of Belt-Phobics Anonymous? Oh well, it's still great like this.

Honestly: you look beautiful wearing this.

I think this look is very flattering on you/your figure from this photo. In fact, I think you look extra sleek. Agree with LauraElizabeth that you are GORGEOUS, too.
