TG, you brought such a grin to my face!
Sara L., I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Christina F., catherine, notsaf, I did! Thank you for the encouragement!
Yay, Jenn! Thanks for the confirmation!
lisa p, it's been so long since it really was fashionable to have a waist. I've got it, but at the expense of Hips O'Doom!
JAileen, it does feel good to belt there. It's quite comfortable.
Thanks, Angie, Gretchen, shevia, and Gigi!
That's good, suntiger! I've always worn this untucked and liked it.
Cardiff girl, I do! It's nice to have the option, too.
LOL, Rachy. I don't know that I've ever been a cool girl, but I don't mind trying!
Thanks, Jess! The striped tee is from Gap (last year?) and the jeans are new, from American Eagle. Finds aren't working for American Eagle again, but here's the link:

The jeans have a 12"+ rise, and the curvy fit is designed for 13" hip/waist difference. I had them tailored further.
The saddle shoes are from Royal Vintage, but they've closed out the style and there's only one pair left on deep clearance:

Good point, FashIntern. It does look more classic/less casual that way.
I get it, Sal. It's tough to tuck when the rise isn't correct for your build. Everything just looks off.
Thank you, The Cat! I like the combination, too. To me, all items are classic - but they're classic in different ways and punch each other up when put together.
Aww, thank you, nuancedream.
LOL Susie, I was just born with it! (So to speak...) And I have the hips to deal with as well.
Preppy Pear, DONE.
Thank you, Cee- that's good, since I've always worn that top untucked before now. It's a good one, and now it's great to be able to wear it two ways.
Thank you, Style Fan! <3
