Tuck it In

When I saw this prompt, I groaned a little bit inside. I've done a little bit of tucking in here and there lately...like, 3 times in the last year, with a pencil skirt, for church, and I was feeling pretty progressive.

Not that I don't think things being tucked in look nice. All growing up my mom would tell me to tuck in my shirt whenever we were doing something fancy casual. I would usually tuck it in until I caught sight of myself in a mirror, and then un-tuck it quickly. This would leave me with a wrinkled bottom-half of my shirt....super cool.

Shirt: JC Penny (via Plato's Closet), Shorts: Old Navy (Via Thrift Store, hemmed into shorts), Undershirt: Shade

Slightly Random Tangent: my mom would also try to tell me that it was OK to put my bangs back when I was younger. I had somehow gotten into my head that I had a weirdly large forehead, and so whenever my mom would do my hair for church and nicely put my bangs back, I would find my way to the church bathroom, soak my hands, and then pull my bangs out and plaster them down on my forehead. Sorry mom--you did try to help me be somewhat normal fashion-wise. End Tangent.

So, tucking is not something that's normally part of my fashion history. Tucking into pants is a stretch, and tucking into shorts...who does that?

Me...apparently.

Indy got into the action as well. He's wearing a collar from Chaco. As dogs go, he's really quite fashionable.

These pictures were brought to you by my husband, and our front porch thing...thanks Nate!
