I am the master of the half-tuck.
I do it all the time. I do it way too much.
Is it annoying to the public…maybe.
Is it annoying to me…definitely not.
I love the half-tuck and I’m not afraid to admit it!!
In other news (as you may have heard from all of my complaining on twitter), I am in the process of moving.
Ahh, moving.
We have all been there…and we all hate it.
I’ve discovered something kind of funny. I am having the same thoughts and experiences now that I did when I participated in my last move. And I’m sure you’ve all experienced them.
Some of my thoughts and actions include:
That’s where those shoes ended up!
I had no idea I had three extra deodorants stored under my sink
What.Is.This?!?!?
I have waaaayyy too much crap.
Where in the world did I put my cell phone
(oops…I packed it in one of the kitchen boxes)
Clearly in my next home, I need some super amazing organizational tips. So ladies and gents…please teach me how to: 1. not be a hoarder and 2. organize my stuff.
Much Thanks 🙂

I just finished moving apartments. I was right there with you! Can't tell you how many times I had to have the Mr. call my cell phone to find it (don't keep it on vibrate! that is just mean to yourself). And he put me on a "non-hoarding" status: If I can't justify it, he donates it. It sounds cruel, but it worked! Good luck moving!

Now, that is my ideal of the perfect outfit! Plus, I love, love, love that sweater.
Like your stylish look and the half-tuck – I still love it also – yes, I go thru those feelings (just the same as moving) when I do my 6 mth cleanout of closets, drawers and cupboards – I always pretend I'm moving to clear it out and makes me not want to horde so much (for awhile) – can't wait to hear more and see more 🙂
You look adorable in that outfit. I want that lace skirt, I could mix and match it with so many of my tops.
I say this all the time, but it is true. There is absolutely nothing better than lace. It is gorgeous.
Ah, now this is my way of wearing a dress/skirt. To pair it with something more casual, like that sweater. I love love those boots. Famous Footwear hey?… I think I'm going to need to scope that store out. I think they'd look sweet with a pair of jeans.
Love, love, love the skirt! Shoes too! They are amazing!
I've never been a real fan of the half tuck, but maybe I should give it a try and I'd change my mind. Love love love the lace though!
I love the color of that shirt and that sweatshirt. I love love love LOVE it. The half tuck is something I have never really tried to pull off.
Welp, you are just the cutest! I love that look – and your hair is fab!
I love the color combination. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the half tuck but you pull it off really well!
I really like this look! Everything looks so well put together with this.
Oooh, I like those shoes! I can never pull these off with a skirt, or at least I don't think so. I own about half a dozen pairs of these little booties and I rarely sport them- and always with jeans.
I'm going to have to give it a go.
Good luck with the move!!
My daughter is plaid crazy right now, so she's like the shirt like that peeking out. I love the detail on the skirt hem!
I love the bottom of the skirt, it's so cute! I have wanted to try the layering like you showed but haven't found the right look.
I love this look because you combined elements that are not usually paired together but they really work – the lacy skirt, the plaid shirt, and sweatshirt! The booties and bag make it really come together! BTW where did you get the messenger bag? I love it!
This look on you looks fantastic. It is a fun casual style. My favorite is the booties.
I normally do not go for booties, but I really like the ones you are wearing. I am scared of what I might find when I have to pack up and move I know that I have waaaayyy too much than I should, and will discover a
lot of surprising things.
I really like that sweater. The plaid button down is a nice touch! Very cool look.
Omg what a super cute outfit!!! Absolutely loving the skirt!
Love the boots and the bag, I know what you mean about being a hoarder i never knew i was until i had to move
you really look gorgeous and your dress sweater is perfect for cold weather. Love the boots!
Super cute and chic. I'm in love with the skirt and sweater combo.
That is such a cute outfit. The boots tie the whole outfit together.
Thank you so much Debi!
Thank you so much! I'm in love with this skirt right now!
Thank you Angela!!! xoxo
haha I'm glad there are fellow hoarders out there!
Thanks so much Courtney! xoxo
Thank you Camesha! You are too kind!
haha it was kind of scary! I found a lot of weird stuff! And I love these booties because they actually elongate my legs vs shortening them like most booties.
Thank you so much Ann!
Thank you so much!! I got this bag from Dorthy Perkins! I got it awhile ago, but I linked a bunch of options up top!
Thank you so much Ashleigh!! xoxo
Thank you! I love plaid too!
These booties work with this skirt because of the way they are cut. They elongate my legs because of the shape of the front of the bootie. So if you want to wear booties with a skirt, just pick some that don't cut right across your ankles!
Thanks Michelle! xoxo
Thank you so much! xoxo
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Cia! I don't pull it off often, but I like the look it created this time.
try it out and see how you like it girl! You never know!
Thank you so much!! xoxo
Famous Footwear has super cute stuff, especially booties!!
It's true!! Lace totally rocks!
Thank you so much! I got the skirt at J Crew, but I've linked a bunch of similar styles above!
That's good advice! I need to do spring and winter cleaning…then maybe I won't be so overwhelmed!
Thank you so much Fiona!! xoxo
Thank you so much! I'm a sucker for sweaters!
Thanks girl! xoxo
Thank you Cherish!
haha I actually accidentally taped it in a box at one point. Oops!!
