It's funny how this outfit came together. You've seen this skirt twice before - here and here. I wanted to wear it again today, but wanted to make it a little more casual since my last two looks were somewhat dressy. As I was virtually scanning my closet in my head while trying to fall asleep, I had decided on a graphic tee of some sort and my denim vest.
When it came down to getting dressed in the morning, I was sifting through my tops, and saw this lace tank. I remembered Noelle telling me that she likes tucking hers in. So, for grins, I went ahead and decided to try it. Consequently, I loved it! The tank is tiered, so I left the top tier untucked, and it really looks more like a crop top vs. a full tank - last worn here.
But I say this is funny because as I started putting this post together, I was trying to find Noelle's outfit with her tank and then realized that the comment she made was actually in response to my outfit here -- she was talking about this lace top of hers, NOT a tank. But in case you were wondering, the tank also works very nicely tucked into skirts. :)
Clearly I own too many clothes, I can't keep it all straight.
SHOP THE LOOK:
You look gorgeous! Chic and girly but not formal.

I agree! Love when things just fall into place! Thank you!
DeleteLove the tuck in idea! Its great for tiered tops
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I have never done this before! The placement of the tiers falls perfectly on this top to do it!
DeleteI love it all. Especially that skirt!! You look lovely and the paring of the mint accessories was such a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving splashes of mint as much as I love splashes of red lately!
DeleteWell I'll be. I never would have thought you could tuck in this top and make it work! It turned out great!

I always forget that this tank has tiers on it, too! Even when I'm wearing it, I always find the top tier haphazardly sticking up bc I forget it is there! But it worked nice with the tuck!
DeleteLove your layered the tank with the skirt, so cute.

DeleteSuch a great idea! I have things I must try this with. :)
ReplyDeleteJennie
Yay - hope it works out!
DeleteI love the "crop: effect, it looks great with that skirt
ReplyDeleteNatalia
I thought so as well! I'm naturally high waisted, so crop tops aren't as blatantly belly baring on me!
DeleteI wouldn't have thought to tuck this top in but it looks great!

DeleteOhh I do that too! I mentally go through my closet trying to come up with new outfits when I am trying to go to sleep too. Sometimes it keeps me up, though. Such a cute look. Love that you did the tank tucked in!
