WIW : Partial Tuck for Friday

I'm sooooo glad Friday is here - it has been one crazy week at work!

I started today's outfit with my Gap Long & Leans (didn't feel like wearing skinnies for Denim Days today), then added my navy and white menswear inspired flowy shirt. I though...ah ha.....I could try a partial tuck with this shirt. Did i get it right? I've added a simple back belt, my gold oversized watch for jewelry and Kelly for my pop of colour. On my feet are my newly thrifted bronze flats. I've worn heels all week and my bad knee is feeling it today so flats were key.

Does this outfit work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Shirt: thrifted (no label)
Jeans: Gap Long & Lean
Belt: thrifted
Shoes: Nicole (thrifted)
Handbag: Cleo (thrifted)
Watch: thrifted

This outfit works for me. I really like your pop of color with that fab green handbag!

I love the outfit! The shirt is darling and you have made it look so fab with the long and leans and stramlined flats. The purse is such a great pop of color and the partial tuck looks great to me!

You are on a roll woman. I love as is! I wonder how it would look with that thrifted belt you wore earlier in the week or another contrasting belt. Your red toenails peeking out of those peep toe flats are icing on the cake. So well done!

I didn't think of using the snakeskin belt Zap - thought it might be too light with the rest of outfit? But maybe it would work because of the white stripe in the shirt.

You might be right. I just love the contrasting belt look on you.

I'm gonna try it next time though 'cause I love that belt and I personally like a contrasting belt too! Thanks for the tip.

I love this! The peep toes go so well with this slightly boyish feeling outfit

Manish and fab! Love!

Add the Saras, maybe?

Love the idea of the Saras - but won't that make my pants too short??? Oooohhhhhh....BUT....I have Gap L&L's in the medium wash that are hemmed longer for heels and the Saras would work with those....*clapping hands* - thanks Angie!

Just chimed in to say that Angie's suggestion is GENIUS!

Swear to goodness, Shannon, you are the cutest thing north of Wyoming!! Love the bronze flats, but yes! The Saras would be fab, too!!

I actually love the feminine flats with this, but the Saras are another fab option! High five to my Denim Day Menswear Soul Sister!

HIgh five back at ya Rae! I just posted a question on your thread about doing baggy and structured together for this kind of look.

Shannon this looks wonderful. the semi tuck looks great on you and you are inspiring me to give it try. I always feel self conscious of my tummy when tucking. The man inspired shirt is very cool. And I agree the Doc Saras would look real good with this.

Deborah - I'm self conscious about my tummy too but I've come to accept that it's not going to disappear (at least not immediately!) and I don't want "the tummy" deciding everything I wear and do! It's NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!
