To tuck, or not to tuck?

| guys I was cold ok it's WI |
That is the potentially irrelevant question.
Alas, relevancy is not my concern.
Except that it is, but like
whatever.
Let's continue on to the much more shallow point of this very likely irrelevant question,
and that is:
if a girl spends her whole entire life living pigeon-toed, but nobody ever takes the time to tell her, is she actually pigeon toed?
PSYCH.
But seriously. Am I?
Ok. Fer realz. I took these photos both ways, because I was initially intrigued by the photo that I essentially coped:
 |
| ok fine. that I fully copied. I 100% copied it. |
but then a bit uncomfortable with the whole swathed-in-oversized-fabric thing (I know. First time for everything), so I "tucked and untucked" as the photographer taking these photos called it (sweater, then hair) and then stood in a slightly different spot and looked confident.

Isn't it funny? How our "sense of style" is really just our own comfort zone?
It makes you wonder: do people without any distinct sense of style sort of feel in a perpetual state of unease, or do they just completely ignore that aspect of themselves?
Or is "not having a sense of style" sort of a style in and of itself?

Do we all, inevitably, have style
whether we claim to or not?
Cheers.

pigeon toed you are not, you are a professional super model so you were obviously just caught mid ragdoll. i love that skirt, i lusted after it multiple times at h&m but then somehow talked myself out of it because i was angry at having to wear tights with it come winter or something. my retail woes aside, i love both of these looks but i have to say i might be team tuck on this one. i love the look of a tucked in sweater. it adds a little unexpected flair because we're used to seeing them untucked all season long.

I like the sweater both ways personally - you can pull off either silhouette - even though you can tell from the photos you feel yourself with the tuck and perhaps like you are playing dress-up without it. It actually looks like two totally different outfits, even though the only difference is that simple tuck. Also, I CANNOT believe you got these pieces at GAP and H&M. When I saw them on your Instagram, I was dying to know where they were from and I just assumed they were from that fancy store (Iona?) you have been frequenting as of late. Fantastic finds!!
ReplyDeletewell i think some people honestly don't know how to cultivate their own "style" they just go through life putting clothes on and going through the motions. some mavens experiment and push themselves further till they achieve the "style" they want…..this is honestly my new favorite from you ;)
ReplyDeleteWhelp, this is officially my favorite outfit of yours of all time. Hands down. Done. Did it. Said it. I actually like the sweater both tucked AND un-tucked, so that's my way of giving you permission to wear this fantastic ensemble two days in a row. It is very Celine with a twist. I think it would also look cool with wedge ankle booties. Just thinkin out loud here. Now I need to get myself to H&M and purchase that skirt ASAP. And maybe Gap too for that sweater.
