I'm over on Tall Snob today with an elegant Valentine's Day look. Remember the gorgeous lace back dress I linked on Facebook?  The dress featured in this look is its more conservative (but still pretty) older sister.  Take a look here! And I just might be coming back with a few more dresses because blogging about dresses is sort of like playing with paper dolls.  So fun.

A while ago I took 4 or 5 photos of myself in various outfits for a "What I wore" series.  But then I realized I had to get dressed, put makeup on, AND clean (enough to take a photo without mad chaos looming in the background) even when I wasn't going anywhere...and I thought, this just isn't worth it. [insert winky face here].  Addthe fact that my clothes are mostly thrifted, from Target, Old Navy, or Gap...and well it's just not that interesting.  But I've been trying to do clothing reviews over on Tall Snob any time I buy a tall clothing item. I know I haven't shared my work over on Tall Snob in a while but I had fun with this post--which brought back the "What I Wore" series that never happened.  I love cute lounge wear and this pair of pants fit the bill!  The best part--you can cut them to any length you desire.  I couldn't wait to review them and try dressing them up for summer and fall.  Here's the final product.

I'm over on Tall Snob today with some fun and fresh coral picks.  And I maybe white lied in the title.  All items except for one are under $60.  I'll let you guess which one item that is.  In the meantime feast your eyes on this coral eye candy.

I'm not gonna lie; I'm pretty proud of this post over on Tall Snob today.  I know I sound like a stalker but it was totally inspired by her.  Check out the full post here.

I feel like the fact that I occasionally blog about fashion means life is slowly returning to normal after having this sweet girl.  I'm over at Tall Snob today discussing pretty puffers.  Take a peek--all of the items featured come in "regular" sizes, not just tall sizes.  And the most affordable one? $17!  That price is amazing enough to tempt me to add a 6th puffer to my closet. (Yes I'm embarrassed that I have so many but not embarrassed enough to stop seriously considering the $17 option.  This is what you call a problem).

1. They are quick and easy. No exhaustive styling required.
2. They make jeans and a thermal look so much cuter.
3. Fall/winter accessories work so well with them: chunky knit hat and gloves, bright & pretty scarf, furry boots.  YES.

Here are a few I didn't feature in my TallSnob post:

Victoria's Secret "The Angel Puffer." If you know me, you know I love bright colors.  Pretty sure I'd look awesome in this. ;)

So a while ago I posted that I would be writing for Tall Clothing Mall.  I wrote a newsletter recently that I had such fun with that I had to share a portion of it here!  It was a list of "Resort Wear Must Haves for Him and for Her."  All of these items (besides accessories) are available in tall sizes.  If I hadn't had that limitation I would have gone crazy with options! It's kind of like real life- If I could wear anything off the rack and wasn't obsessed with buying clearance items only, I'd probably be a gajillion dollars in debt.  Thank you God for protecting me from myself.  Anyway, here they are.  Visit the Tall Clothing Mall Blog for sources.

Hey peeps, Just thought I'd let you know that I am working for Tall Clothing Mall again.  Those of you who know me personally might remember that a couple of years ago I wrote articles for TallClothingMall.com.  Well Krista (the proprietor of the site) has asked me to re-join the team.  Since I am not working full time, I have a bit more time and will be contributing to her blogs, (tallclothingmall.blogspot.com & tallsnob.com) as well as writing her newsletter, and potentially helping clients with personal shopping requests. 

Me at 7 or 8.  Notice how much taller I was than the other kids!

This is a cause that's dear to my heart.  I've been tall my whole life (I came out of the womb at 2 1/2 feet.  ok, I'm kidding).  But seriously since I could remember, I was taller than the other kids, boys included.  If I had a nickel for every time I heard (from the latter) "she's cute but she's too tall..." I'd be, well not rich but I'd at least have a handful of nickels :)  I didn't  love being tall until I was in college.  Part of the reason why was the clothing aspect.  Back then you really couldn't find long inseam clothing (or certainly not in my parents' price range anyway) and I'd wear high waters or mens' pants.  I loved fashion even then and the fact that I had to choose between dressing like a boy and wearing high waters made me want to gag.  Every kid has her thing- too tall, too short, too skinny, too fat...so this is no sob story.  I only tell you that to let you know that I seriously empathize with people who are not the norm and can't find what they're looking for--clothes, or anything else for that matter--and am really excited about helping folks meet that need.  I also love to write (shocking!) and so writing about shopping for tall people?  It's pretty much a perfect gig.  The only downfall?  I am totally coming across tons of great clothing items that I must have...but since I'm not bringing home any bacon, can't really justify.  Shame right?! 


My first pair of womens' jeans that were long enough were Lucky Brand.  I bought them my sophomore year of college.  They were $70 and I had to put them on layaway!
