;) Great post Emily. http://pinteresttoldmeto.blogspot.com/. 1. There's also an in-between style: the front tuck, or French tuck, as Queer Eye 's Tan France calls it. Was wondering if you could maybe do some fun cactus clip art. I do think this is a great look for thin women. Success!

I’ve had friends say it’s the “mom tuck” and it covers their baby bellies but there’s no way! My friend Julie and I have a joke: every time she texts me with a question, the answer appears on the blog a few days later.

Bring an effortless vibe to the classic white blouse + dark denim combo by half tucking and adding a statement accessory or two. To start, put on your shirt and button it.

She thought it would help define my waist since I am so very short. I like how it looks, but think it’s funny that he thinks that. Should I even try it?
It’s a great question and while there is no ‘right’ way to do it, the half-tuck is a good little trick for wearing oversized shirts in a more polished, flattering way. So, ‘Sigh’ it doesn’t work on this body.
