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.

One Skirt Two Ways: Work and Play.
March 21, 2013 By
I don't know about you but when I worked outside the home it was always tough to take my work wear into casual wear. I hated having two wardrobes; it felt expensive and unnecessary. When I came across this skirt, I knew it would be the perfect piece to take from work to date night, church, or even shopping. I featured it in this post but my work wasn't done; clearly someone is not quite over neon. Worthington Colorblock Pleated Skirt (Tall). This skirt is a great opportunity to infuse some color into one's wardrobe. The light colors and fabric are perfect for spring and summer. The A-line and pleats are perfect for all shapes (curvy girls and pear shaped gals, go for it!). See it styled two ways: Casual Cool versus Office Chic Women's Chambray Shirts.

Alloy Has a New Tall Shop
March 6, 2013 By
We all love Alloy! After all they have long inseam pants and jeans up to 37" long, tall maxi dresses, some longer length shirts and all at affordable prices. Alloy now has a new tall shop - with all of their tall or longer length items in one section for easier shopping! Don't you love it when stores make it easier for us to find what we need? So, how do I shop at Alloy? A few years ago, I tried them, didn't get the right fit and gave up on them. But, over the past year, I decided to give it another try and was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, I'm not a youngster anymore. {Sigh}. And a lot of the clothing is geared more towards teens. But, I have found items that I can wear. (pants and jeans). I usually check the size chart and then order the item in the size I think I am, and then a size larger. I know, what you're saying, that this is a huge pain, but I order two items and return the one that I don't want to keep. So, why would I go to all of this trouble? Why not just … [Read more...]
