WiW: tucked or untucked?

Ann in New England

Working from a coffee shop today w/ a colleague, then grocery shopping.
I always feel like tucked gives me a muffin top, though honestly, untucked probably does, too, I just don't notice as much. I can't blame the clothes for my body.
Also, blue or purple topper?
How have I managed to get dressed all these years without you people?
Thanks.

Hi Ann! I see no muffin here. You must have been reading Angie's advice on how to conceal a muffin top. I love the first photo with the blue topper. The tucking and belting gives you such an amazingly long leg line! I love how the blue in your top is picked up in the sweater. You look great!

I prefer untucked and although I like the purple cardigan better I would go with the blue one for this outfit.
Have a nice day.

#1 is fab and gets my vote. The blue topper picks up the blue in your blouse and also looks great with your skin tone.

I'm beginning to suspect the appearance of long legs might be due to the way my iPhone sits on the nightstand. in order to get a full-length shot including shoes, the camera is on the bottom (i.e., phone is upside down). I'm 5'4", and long legs have never been used to describe me. In fact, in terms of measurements, my hip to floor measurement is 1" shorter than head to hip.

This distortion may not be a good thing in terms of judging outfits. Hmm, need to play a bit more with the camera, I think.

I'm going with the blue sweater, tucked. Thanks!

I prefer the blue sweater also. I would go untucked but that's a personal preference. In general, I don't like to tuck my shirts.

Hands down, 1! You look great with a tuck!

The colour of the topper in #1 works better, for sure, making everything pop. But the shape of it also frames this top better, to my eye.

I still like the purple cardigan a lot, but not with that blouse.

A low camera angle will indeed make your legs look longer, but I don't think the effect would be that dramatic. And "hip" is a rather subjective point, let's face it.
