Tall Personal Shopping: "I Want to Be Flo from Progressive Auto for Halloween"

I got a crazy email from Diana. She wants to be Flo from the Progessive commercials as her Halloween costume, but needs help finding some pants to finish off the look.

Diana says "I'm in need of white jeans. Or at least that's what I think she's wearing. I can't tell if they're really light khakis. Either way. I'm 29, and I'm In between a 12 & a 14 tall/long but leaning more towards a 12. I do have a booty and I usually do really good with the New York & Co. brand. I wear about a 34" inseam.

This is a Halloween costume so I really don't feel like paying a ton of money for a pair of jeans I'll never wear again. Anything below $60 is ok with me. I'd prefer that they are boot cut too."

I must say I think this costume idea is hilarious! I looked on Google and there's all kinds of tutorials on how to recreate this look including this one.

Here are the options of white jeans or pants that I found for you:

Long Tall Sally - Cotton Sateen Bootleg Pants in white with 34" inseam.
On sale for $35.

 

Banana Republic White Denim Trouser in regular length = 34" inseam.

On sale for $40.

I hope this helps! For the record, both of these pants are stylish enough that you should wear them next Spring and Summer.

Why I Love This Tall Teen!

I have to tell you about one of the classiest tall teens I know!
Meet Julia!

Julia impresses me in so many ways. She has impeccable style! Julia can take basic clothing pieces and make them look fabulous even on a tight budget. Her shoe collection is amazing and she loves to wear heels. She also dresses modestly without looking frumpy. As a tall Hispanic woman, she stands out in so many ways!

But, more importantly, Julia's personality is what sets her apart in this world! I have watched her go through an incredible amount of stress and hardship this past year. Her future was uncertain. But, she has faced her challenges with courage and poise. As a Christian, she has taken a personal vow to avoid alcohol and other destructive habits and is a true example of a believer. Her friends admire her and hold her in high esteem. Thanks Julia for standing tall and being beautiful inside and out!

If you know an exemplary tall teen or tall woman, we want to hear about it. Please share your stories!

Hot Pink Heels - VaVaVoom!

What do we need to compliment our black or grey tall shift dresses? A pair of pink heels of course! Why? No particular reason other than they are FABULOUS!

rsvp Fleur Satin Fuchsia Heels to size 13 $69

Annie Luxor Pumps to size 12 $33

Bouquets Carissa Hot Pink Heels to size 12 $69


Gabriella Rocha DeNay Patent Leather Kitten Heels to size 12 $65

Nine West Andriana Pumps to size 12 $79

Would You Wear a Snow Stomper Skirt?

I came across this snow stomper tall skirt and it took a great deal of studying to figure out what it is. Is it a mini skirt? It is a waterproof skirt?

So I asked my husband as he works at a plush ski resort hotel if he has ever seen mini-skirts worn over their snow clothes. He said, that they do and though they aren't terrible common, he sees them occasionally. When I showed him the picture below, he said, he's never seen anything like it. 

If you want to wear the newest high fashion item on the slopes, I guess this is it! My question is, what happens when you crash on the slopes? Does your skirt fly up, or worse - rip? I'm thinking you're better off with a snow suit on the slopes. Then you can wear this sexy number over leggings while parading around the hotel. :)

 

Tall Personal Shopping: Boots & Coat

I received a request from Christine, a 5'11" tall woman who is 54 year old. She is looking for 2 items. The first request is for a classic black or brown tall boot in a size 11. She would like them to be sleek with no adornments and a flat heel. She will be wearing them with skirts and has had bad luck with tall boots stretching out and falling down or not being long enough to reach her knees. Her calf circumference is 14".
The good news is that I believe I have searched everywhere and found you some options that will fit. The bad news is that the ones I like the most are very pricey, but I've included them to give you the most options.


The second item she would love to find is a knee-length or longer  tall, black, down coat with a hood. Christine wears a size 10. Here are the options:

Eddie Bauer Essential Down Parka

Eddie Bauer Lodge Down Parka


JCPenney Down-Blend Coat


Long Elegant Legs Tall Down Coat

I hope I've been able to find you some great choices! Everyone feel free to chime in with a comment and tell us what item(s) you think Christine should purchase.

Get a shift dress that fits just right!

It's Tall Tuesday, which means we have created a special style board of women's tall clothing. Today we are focusing on tall shift dresses. Wikipedia defines a shift dress as "a garment consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice (or a matching bodice giving the effect of a one-piece garment).Sheath dress also fit this definition, but are generally a bit more form fitting.

Michelle Obama has made this type of dress quite popular.It must be nice to get them all custom sized! Come on fashion designers, us tall women of the world deserve the same attention! 

For the rest of us, tall shift dresses are easily dressed up with sophisticated jewelry and a pair of heels. They make fabulous holiday dresses! Dress them down by pairing with a cardigan and a pair of knee high boots. Another look is to add a turtleneck or crisp white shirt under the dress and if desired, finish off with a belt around the waist.

Here is our favorite selection of women's tall shift dresses:

• Banana Republic Lightweight Wool Grey Tall Sheath Dress
• Banana Republic Charlotte Knit Tall Sheath Dress
• Banana Republic Origami Waist Tall Sheath Dress
• Boden's  Fabulous Jersey Tall Shift Dress
• Ann Taylor - Tall Sheath Dress

Tall Tuesday: Shopping for A Cure!

October is breast cancer awareness month.With it being Tall Tuesday, I found it appropriate to highlight products that bring awareness and raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. We all know people that have been affected by this terrible disease.

When I was a tween, my Aunt Faye lost her 5 year courageous fight against breast cancer. The world lost an amazing soul. I want my Aunt Faye to be remembered as  a caring Mother and Wife. She dedicated a great deal of time to nurturing teen girls.  Faye was often in a terrible amount of pain, but she never complained! I have drawn strength in my life by remembering her example of poise and courage.

Please do your monthly breast exams as early detection is the key!
