He really though he was helping! It's hilarious. Laugh it off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874429 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:14:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least she was polite about it. I once had a lady look at my popped collar and say "oh, your collar is sticking up, let me help you with that" and proceed to put it down. I just politely said thank you and when she left, popped it up again. It's a generational thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874365 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:13:38 +0000 TraceyLiz65 874365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend and I joke about "educating the world"... I am sure the generational gap meant she was trying to be helpful... She learned something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874264 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:20:47 +0000 Thistle 874264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the pain of being fashion forward! Still, you handled it so smoothly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874188 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:26:17 +0000 Deborah 874188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is funny and you were very gracious:) Bet you looked stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874187 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:18:28 +0000 AJ 874187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You handled that smoothly! </p> <p>Yeah, at church I tend to keep the trends to one carefully chosen accessory. Haven't done the semi-tuck there yet. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874181 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:08:11 +0000 Marley 874181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahahaha! Oh, this makes me laugh! My mom did the same thing to me when I was home for Christmas. When I told her that it was on purpose she just kind of shook her head in amazement. But then, she's used to me dressing differently from her - and she kind of gets a kick out of how I dress, so it was all good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874177 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:58:41 +0000 Gaylene 874177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's exactly the reason why I'm leery of trying the semi-tuck around my husband; he'd be bewildered by the sight of me wandering around with my shirt half in and half out of my waistband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874115 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 04:15:22 +0000 Anonymous 874115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure she was trying to be sweet...it's really funny when they whisper it in your ear so as not to "embarrass" you. Too funny. I have all but abandoned the semi-tuck for the same reason. Well, it depends what age group I'm going to be around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874083 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:42:04 +0000 Mo 874083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fully believe some other generations might actually be confused and hoping to politely help you - as if you had your skirt stuck in your stockings after visiting the ladies room </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874077 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:36:07 +0000 Anonymous 874077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're taking it lightly. Some people would get paranoid and insecure in the face of such a situation. It's happened to me with a half popped collar, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874061 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:20:59 +0000 CocoLion 874061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. Although, rather passive-agressive when a question is really masking as critique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874051 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:01:31 +0000 Suz 874051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes...how others see us! What a sweet moment. It sounds as if you dealt with it graciously, like a true Fabber! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-taking-the-semi-tuck-too-seriously#post-874040 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:42:48 +0000 unfrumped 874040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my Leith track pants to church with a silky blouse in a semi-tuck.</p> <p> During visiting time after church, a dear older (than I) lady and I started to greet each other and she leaned in to ask whether I wanted.my shirt to be in or out. I explained this was the semi- tuck look and confessed I was trying it out even at the expense of looking like I'd just rushed out of the ladies'. She nodded.</p> <p>We went on to talk about my DD' s upcoming wedding and her grandson' s upcoming wedding and had a nice conversation about those events and the challenges of finding dresses.</p> <p>Just in case we need to be reminded..... </p>
