Longsleeve Tops Sandals I'm still in Bahamas mode and am missing this private beach we visited the last day of our trip. I wanted to show you a resort outfit this morning as these soft pants from JJill are comfy for wearing around tropical resorts. Throw on a tunic over the top and you've got a relaxed style that also looks a bit dressier than just throwing on a cover-up. More J. Jill... … [Read more...]
Tall Travel Wardrobe for Europe
May 13, 2013 By
Lara, a 6'1" tall woman, is really excited about her 25th wedding anniversary as she and her husband will celebrate by taking a trip to Europe. She will start her journey with 3 days in Paris, then catch a 14 day guided tour and end in Rome where they will spend a few days in the Cinque Terre region of Italy. Total length of the vacation is 3 weeks. Doesn't this sound like a dream? They have to pack light - each with a small suitcase and a day pack. Lara has been gracious to share with us some items she chose for her trip. Tall Travel Wardrobe - Europe Chico's - Ripstop Utility Shorts - 15.5" inseam. She bought them in tan, black, and navy. Lara says they hit her above the knees and are really comfy with a stretch-knit waistband. They also come in a shorter length. Athleta - Shasta Pants - 35.5" Inseam. Lara states - "These also have the stretch-knit waistband and are super comfy. I love the way you can snap the legs up to make them crops. I got them in Asphalt … [Read more...]

Tall Chambray Review
April 15, 2013 By
By now you know I’m a fan of chambray right? I probably have about 5 chambray items in my closet- some I’ve had for years, some I’ve just purchased. Like this shirt: Women’s Tall Chambray Shirts. Does it look familiar? I wrote about it in this post. And clearly I couldn’t get it out of my head after that. I waited a while before pulling the trigger but when I saw it was still hanging out in my cart (and under $20 with discounts), I went for it. As you saw here, I had a chambray button down but it was darker and I thought this light color would be perfect for summer. I ordered it and… Pros: runs truer to size. I usually wear a medium in button downs. The first chambray shirt I had to return for a small. This one I ordered in my typical size and it was perfect. I prefer ordering a medium over a small because they’re usually longer and that was the case here. The shirt tails are plenty long enough. I love the light tone and you can’t beat … [Read more...]
Various Tall Clothing Reviews
April 8, 2013 By
Last week was Spring break and it was so much fun! We drove our motor home to San Diego for some salt water therapy. Mr. Tall drives the Winnebago like it's a Corvette and it's always an adventure! While there we rented a boat for a few hours and we tubed "Mission Bay". I also tried paddle boarding and must admit that either it's harder when you are tall or maybe I'm just getting old. Ugh! I fell in the bay twice, but ended up figuring out my balance for the last 10 minutes. My teen sons had no problem figuring it out. At least they didn't laugh too hard when I fell in. But, I loved paddle boarding, so it's something I will try again. I'm rocking a painful sunburn (not on purpose) - seems my Swedish skin burns easier these days. Here's a couple of pictures to show you what we did. We drove the entire way home yesterday (12 hrs) and my 3 year old got ill and was vomiting the entire way home and all of last night. So today my brain is mush! She's finally watching … [Read more...]

Long Corduroy Pants: Tall Personal Shopping
March 23, 2013 By
Client: Kelci, 6'1" tall Size: 10/12, Inseam: 36" or 37" with heels Wanting: "I'm hoping to find light tan corduroy pants with a slight stretch and bootcut openings on the bottom. I prefer to wear low-mid rise. I've seen them in some bright colors for spring but I just need that go-to pair for work/casual wear that works with almost any top." Budget: under $100 Kelsi, the bad news is this is the wrong time of year to look for cords as most of them are sold out. However, I did find two pairs, but they are selling out so if you're interested, snag one fast! Corduroy Bootcut Trousers - 36" Inseam, only size 12 left. Curvy Cords Bootcut, 36" Inseam, only size 10 available. May not be the right color, but this is all I can find. … [Read more...]
Neon Brights
March 14, 2013 By
I have always loved neon. Remember zinc? That neon paste that people wore on their noses to prevent sunscreen. I wore it on my lips. As lipstick. My family teased me about that forever. They could see my lips a mile away. Fast forward 20+ years. (Wow. 20 years?!) and I still love color. Yes I've toned down the lips a bit. But I'm still not afraid to rock a little neon. While browsing Pinterest I noticed a few fun pins featuring neon color and outfits. And this post was born. Enjoy my neon picks: Incorporating neon by way of accessories is a lot less scary than rocking a full fledged neon shirt. or dress. or pants. This is a small way to embrace the trend. Milani Neon Nail Lacquer, Pink Rocks! 508, .45 fl oz. Women’s Neon Trim Straw Fedoras. Ice Watch Silicone Watch in Neon Pink. Aldo Verissimo (bone bag with pink trim). Nine West Dashall (Up to size 12). (orange fabric. also available in neon yellow and green). Sasha Handbag, Neon … [Read more...]
