Belt, tuck or untuck?

Help me get dressed today. How should I style this:

1) belt

2) tuck

3) untuck

4) wildcard? Should I do something else I haven't thought of?

    I think that top may be a bit too long to leave untucked, unless you added another shorter layer over it and under the jacket. I actually like the simplicity of just tucking it in the most, followed by the belted version.

  • Briar replied 12 years ago

    Tucked in shows off your waist and looks very put together. The top untucked seems a bit out of proportion and has a more casual vibe. My rank is 1, 2 then 3.

  • replied 12 years ago

    I definitely like either 1 or 2
    Your legs look like a mile long.

  • Jjsloane replied 12 years ago

    I prefer #2 first then #1. I like the combination of the jean jacket and the flowy skirt.

  • modgrl replied 12 years ago

    I am tucked for now, will belt when I have time between meetings later :)

  • Jaime replied 12 years ago

    Another vote for #1.

  • nancylee replied 12 years ago

    I like #1.

  • Diana replied 12 years ago

    I vote belted!

  • rute replied 12 years ago

    Another vote for belt, but I like all of them!

  • replied 12 years ago

    Good call, Rita. I think you get a lot of look just for tucking. The belt is the cherry on top if you can tolerate it. I love you in a high waist! Your legs DO look a mile long, and hurray for some more pattern mixing!

    #1 :-)

    Another vote for #1. The belt lowers the waistline in a way that seems more balanced to me. Looks great on you!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 12 years ago

    I love it tucked with the belt - very figure flattering.

  • Angie replied 12 years ago

    #1 looks KILLER Ms. Petite Midi :)

    Love how your bag adds an easy pattern mixed touch.

  • chewyspaghetti replied 12 years ago

    Belt!

  • kimlee replied 12 years ago

    Without reading the response of the others, I would vote for #1. This look really showcases your figure.

  • Nakidra replied 12 years ago

    #1 ... Love you in that skirt! :0

  • celia replied 12 years ago

    Even if you are already dressed by now I have to say that 1) or 2) are killer choices.
    Have a nice day.

  • Jonesy replied 12 years ago

    I love it tucked, no belt, but belted looks fab too. There is something very glamorous and slightly '70s about this outfit. You really look wonderful!!

  • modgrl replied 12 years ago

    Thanks Jonesy! It is a vintage 70's skirt and I am wearing it 70's style with the tall boots. Thanks for noticing.

  • Jonesy replied 12 years ago

    Oooh, you lucky duck, to find such a perfect, awesome skirt that fits you to a T!

    Between you and Shannon, you are showcasing how petite women can ROCK longer skirts :)! I love it!

  • modgrl replied 12 years ago

    I had it tailored to fit to a T. It was too big and long, but it was vintage, silk and polka dot. There was no way I could leave it behind! It has a cute little flounce at the bottom so I didn't want to shorten it and risk losing that. I had it taken in at the waist. Now it sits higher and tighter and ended up being the perfect length.

  • citygirldc replied 12 years ago

    belted or tucked looks good to me.

  • rae replied 12 years ago

    I like #2 the best - strong, simple, and a bit 90s (love). The belt feels like too much embellishment to me, but that may just be preference. It's a really nice skirt!

  • Freckles replied 12 years ago

    Love it both tucked with belt and without. Really lovely look for you!

  • Sunita replied 12 years ago

    I like the belted look the best too! Maybe a different colored belt for a pop of color?

  • Diana replied 12 years ago

    BTW, Rita, you totally inspired me to wear my flouncy midi skirt today too!

    Rita this is a gorgeous outfit on you. I also like it tucked and belted. You look so put together and the outfit just flows... it works beautifully.

  • Meredith1953 replied 12 years ago

    I love it belted. So cute!!

  • Vicki replied 12 years ago

    1 is my favorite, but you are long gone by now. Pretty outfit, Rita.

  • anne replied 12 years ago

    Ditto to what Vicki said. Thanks for the visuals!

  • Joy replied 12 years ago

    I like #1.
