Tucked in shirts? Yay or Nay?

guys, so remember how at pitchfork we discussed our predictions for fashion trends that will blow up? the most important ones being overalls and doc martins and Indian chic (which i do NOT approve of). Aaaaanyways i have another prediction to add. I think that tucked in shirts outside of the work place are going to be all the rage, and inspired by this, here are my outfits for this weekend.

amazing orange linen overalls from salvation army. Along with this purchase i also got an almost new Levi's light wash jean jacket. I have been wanting one forever but i could never rationalize the cost, and there it was for 7 bucks. Awesome.
soul night outfit. It felt 50/60's alterna kid style. also i wore animal print shoes EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT FALL because it was soul night.
Hair = by Sexy Straight Hair, Leopard Print wedges = Steve Madden, Black skinny Jeans - Lux @ Urban Outfitters, gold belt = Michael Kors, White Safari Button down shirt = converse for Target, Red Bead necklace = Bargain World thrift store, Sunglasses = forever 21.

guys i have to say that sitting around posing for myself to post on here makes me feel like a bit of a jackass so tell me if you all appreciate these clothing posts or would rather i not. Like i said, it's inspiring me to explore my closet as i would recommend you all do, but if you all think it's stupid and wasting your time please let me know.

Saturday afternoon outfit for heading to the farmer's market and eating. I ended up wearing this outfit for a total of 1 hour since i went blueberry picking afterwards and clearly had to change into "work" clothesLinen stretch pants = theory (i paid far too much but they looked good. I have this fantasy that when i actually have to wear work clothes i will buy theory suits), Belt = purchased in mexico many years ago, button down = converse for target (as you can see this is my new favorite shirt. go and buy yours RIGHT NOW). Sunglasses = Chanel, bangs = BY ME! not bad, right

How are you all feeling about my tucked shirt prediction??? I'm kind of digging it but maybe it's because i'm getting old and old people tuck in their shirts. thoughts? also i really want some kakhis for fall so that i can...you guessed it...tuck in my shirts. Does anyone have suggests for straight leg kakhis for short people?

today's coffee shop outfit. I was heading to a coffee shop on my bike that is like 4 blocks away up a slight hill and therefore i thought it would be ok to wear some non flat shoes. WRONG. do you even know how hard it is to bike in platforms with a backpack on?? I didn't realize that usually i'm drinking when i attempt to ride my bike in heels which accounts for why i never noticed the difficulty. Just imagine pedaling on your tip toes. Not cute at all
Gold strap wedges = Ann klein, floral dress = some brand i got at Brass Plum Nordstrom, belt = the Limited.

AND i am proud to note that every aspect of this outfit was purchased years ago which means NO NEW CLOTHES WERE USED TO MAKE THIS OUTFIT. hoorah for exploring my closet for things i haven't worn in a long time.

I enjoy the outfits, but please promise me you will only wear the overalls while berry picking or some other physical activity. They do ungodly things to butts.

By the way, my prediction for a trend: Maine.

i don't think the outfits and picture taking is necessarily jackass...just your hipster face you are making is jackassy. but i guess that is the point.

ps. i can't tuck in my shirt. it makes me look fat. i've tried it for work

HELLO! the shirt tucked in thing was my prediction! but i was thinking as a main trend for men's casual with jeans, not for women's attire...i feel like women have never stopped tucking in shirts because women were never really marked with the stigma of the nerdy kid who tucked in his shirt...but, yes, i like your outfits with shirts tucked in...i was thinking that, for men, button downs will be big tucked in WITHOUT belts, like plaids and stripes and gingham...
