2 questions on today's outfit with ETA

1) tucked or not?

2) Necklace or not?

I'm at work already, so I can't wear something else! I could take the cami under the top off, which I rather think might make it look better.
ETA pic 4 is without cami

The top is one Bijou recommended.

My thoughts are tucked definitely on you - I would be the opposite as I have a belly and am shortwaisted. Tucked is very flattering and chic (I wish I could tuck more easily!!)

I say yes to the necklace but I think it is lovely without it too. The top is great!

Tucked and keep the necklace... looks gorgeous! I am just a bit jealous, I cannot tuck anything lol.

Tucked looks fine on you. And, colourwise, the black necklace is a nice repetition of the black in the skirt.

Tucked, necklace and keep the cami under the top on as it probably works to smooth things out. If the skirt is black and white, a black gillet or other topper could be a different and good look.

Thanks Sal. - Yes I like the top!

Deborah - actually I was wondering if I should give up on tucking too

The Cat - yes I put the necklace on for exactly that reason - to repeat the black. It is a homemade craft stall necklace though, and I wondered if it looked professional

Joy - I added a picture above to show it without the cami (But I can put it back on!) The skirt is black, white and blue. I don't have a black gillet, but I have a black jacket which I'd wear it with if I wore it with anything.

I vote untuck the top but rumple it up (that is, don't stretch the top full length the way you have).
Yes to necklace.

Very nice outfit, Anne! I like the top tucked, and I like the way the necklace echoes the top. To me, it serves as a "third piece" that pulls the look together even more.

I like the top tucked in. I never tuck..too short waisted, so I am envious. YLF!

I'm late to the party, but tucked and with the necklace. Nice visual balance.

Tucked, with necklace (I'd love it with pearls, too, for a white on white effect, and to match the shoes).

You look lovely -- rather retro hollywood!

As per Brooklyn's suggestion.

Tucked with the necklace. I liked it better without the cami.

I vote tucked, necklace, no cami (smoother without). You look great!

Yes! I stand by my suggestion. It's a sweater and to my eye sweaters don't look quite right fully tucked in (although semi tucked can work). Obviously I am alone in this view, so you should go full tuck if you like it better

Thanks everyone - I think I like Brooklyns suggestion, with it untucked but rumpled, the best too. Plus no cami.

I agree with Brooklyn that it looks not quite right tucked - although I was aware that the vertical proportions looks better.

Aussies you may appreciate this - someone at work said it looked like Alannah Hill or Review (it's actually Zara - much cheaper!)

I am with Brooklyn as I know that sweater, I like it I tried but didn't buy the same reason long untacked so as we are minority I think that you made good decision to wear as Brooklyn suggested.

Late to the discussion - if it's smooth go without the cami (or have a cami with elastane that you can pull down tight and tuck into underwear). I'd like the top rumpled or more relaxed looking + add the necklace!

Thans Mirjana and lozz-oz. The cami does have a elastane and can be pulled down and tucked in - but doesn't seem to do the sweater any favours.

Tucked next time with a longer necklace. It will help the proportion.

I like it best tucked. I think you have a great waist so show it off! I like the necklace too. No opinion about the cami or not.

The skirt is beautiful on you, I love it. The top looks too thin and body con to be worn over a cami or over the skirt's waistline, it looks more like a layering top, to wear under a jacket, so...euh...I'd wear another top.
