Emily, Emily, Watch My Head Spin

Sometimes I get made fun of because I don't know very much about the lives of celebrities. In fact, there are many movie stars who I wouldn't recognize if I passed them on the street. However, there are three actresses who are exceptions to this rule, and they all happen to star in what is possibly my second favorite movie, The Devil Wears Prada. Yes, these leading ladies are Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep.

The Devil Wears Prada is perhaps the foundation of my love of tucked in shirts. This passed summer it was a rare sight to see me walking around camp with the hem of my shirt hanging loose. There were even many weeks during which I could be found not only with my shirt tucked in, but also hanging out with a group of campers with their shirts tucked in as well. This was usually the result of a camper, or group of campers, asking me why I always tuck my shirt in followed by this explanation by me:

At camp we wear casual clothes. Due to the nature of our daily activities, sundresses just aren't practical. However, The Devil Wears Prada taught me that, even when you are wearing sweats and a t-shirt, looks matter, at least to some extent. This may seem weird coming from me as I've never been one to enjoy dressing up. I don't think that it matters what brand is printed on the tag of your clothes, or whether you bought your shirt at J Crew or Goodwill. However, tucking your t-shirt into your athletic shorts can simply clean up your look a little bit, and in turn make you feel a little more confident and put together.

Also, a tucked-in shirt makes it easy to carry your chapstick even when you don't have pockets! Simply fold the end of your shirt up, tuck it in so that the lip hangs out at the waist ban, and stick your chapstick in your newly made make-shift pocket! It looks classy, and it's practical!

So, don't forget to class it up and tuck for luck!

Also, if anyone can tell me why this scene didn't make the final cut in The Devil Wears Prada, please let me know.
