21 Day Challenge, Day 2: Tucking
Ugh. Tucking. Ugh.
See, the last time I tucked things in on a regular basis was it was 1994 and we all had to tuck in our baggy shirts into our baggy shorts and then untuck them just so. I can only assume we were all trying to look like clowns. Or people who were trying to hide food in our shirts. Since then I have only tucked in my shirt when I am wearing a suit because I am going to a job interview.
But I'm going to put on my big-girl pants now and do this thing.
Cardigan: Banana Republic outlet
Tank top: Shade
Skinny jeans: Old Navy skinny jeans
Sandals: hand-me-down Chacos from my mom (because I have two huge blisters on my pinky toes right now so cute shoes were not happening)
Necklace: hand-me-down from my mom
Flower ring: from Pemberley Trimmings Boutique in American Fork--pretty, huh?
And the baby is home-made.
I'm Steph, a librarian and mom of 3 (not sure how that happened). Let's chat books, food, Sumptuous Literary Adaptations, poop, knitting and maybe some crazy Mormon Feminism.

My only regret about meeting you is that Mr. Homemade Baby wasn't there too.
But, then, eating out is far more fun when the baby is home in bed.
homemade baby....bwahahaha!
Anyway, I felt the same way about tucking. I still feel somewhat the same way. We'll see if my feelings improve with belting--either that or I will die.
Yeah, I pretty much never tuck my shirts in. There's no way to make that flattering on my post 2 babies tummy. Just no way.
"we all had to tuck in our baggy shirts into our baggy shorts and then untuck them just so. I can only assume we were all trying to look like clowns"
Hahahahahaha! This is hilarious because I did it too! I think it was required in the 90's. And I have never tucked in anything again. Also, tucking is pretty much a no go when you are all legs and no torso. You just look wrong.
Not only do you look fabulous, but I love, love the homemade accessory. I have to say too--you look so lovely as either a blonde or a brunette. Lucky lady. I've never tried to go blonde, but I don't think it would end well. Hee!
Loved the reference to 1994 "just so" tucking too. You are so dead on all the time.
Funny--I tucked my shirt in today, and thought (I haven't tucked in any of my shirts since the 1980s!).
But I lived. And I kind of liked it.
Oh, I so remember the tucking! The oversized t-shirts and the baggie shorts. And then add the big hair. What were we thinking in the 80s/90s!?!
I don't tuck anything anymore. Well, except the garments....
I don't tuck either, but discovered that the shirt I ended up tucking looks WAY better tucked in, so maybe I will again.
1994.
Such a bad year for clothes. It took until 2004 for me to clean out my husband's closet of over-sized clothes. Belt it. Bag it. Cinch it.
Nothing more fun thank making a homemade baby.
