Tall Girl Problems

I'm about 5'10, which is tall for a female, extremely tall according to my life experiences.   I was always the tallest in my class and I am the tallest of all but one of my siblings.  I ham the youngest of 8, 3 brothers, 4 sisters.   I used to be ashamed of my height when I was young, but as I grew up and "blossomed" as my Mom likes to say, I have really learned to love and embrace my size.  I don't mind when people call me an Amazon anymore.  I am a strong warrior Princess 😘.  ....make that QUEEN.  Where I use to crouch down, I stand tall above the crowd with pride.  I like that others look up to me.  Being tall makes me feel special now...  I have nice long legs, I can reach things in high places, heels just make me look better.....the list goes on.


There are some very minor setbacks in the wardrobe department, that can be dealt with in the best of ways.... and I can tell you how I personally deal with them.  First of all, it is very important to make sure you cater to your size when it comes to shopping for clothes.  When I say that, I mean you have to buy clothes that fit..... Let me say that again.  YOU HAVE TO BUY CLOTHES THAT FIT!!!!  You pants and jeans have to be long enough.  This is very important, just like the length of your maxi dresses.  Your sleeves on your shirts need to be long enough and these are the things that really stand out on a tall woman and make the difference when it comes to how good her clothes look on her.  I have 2 favorite spots that I like to hit up for my basics and some special pieces too.  I am an avid online shopper and I will tell anybody that.  First of all, when you shop online, there is a better selection, you can shop in your pjs and the deals are better.  Now one of my favorite places to shop online is Old Navy.  I shop there for myself and my son and i have been a faithful customer for years.  I have fell in love with Old Navy  over the last couple of years because they have begun to cater to talls and that is only online.  I find such great deals on nice wardobe staples online.  They always have discounts, super cash and all kinds of ways to save money.  I love Old Navy, love, love, love them.  Their tall sizes have nice long sleeves and nice length that you can't get too many other places....really hardly anywhere, especially with such good quality.

This little jacket is from Old Navy and it is definitely a tall :) 

My entire outfit, dress, and sweater jacket is Old Navy, both in tall

Another on of my favorite places to get clothes, and this is where I buy my jeans and pants from, is Alloyapparel.com.  They have some amazing quality jeans and pants on this site.  I have been shopping with them for years.   I love the extended sizes and inseams.  They have jeans into plus sizes and lengths up to 39" inseam in some styles.    For me, I haven't found lengths like that anywhere...but I'm still looking :)   I am telling you though ladies, you have got to check out Alloyapparel.com.  You can find nice blouses, dresses, sweaters, leggings, and sweatpants.  I have even brought some gorgeous Steve Madden coats from them at amazing prices.  Remember to sign up for their email list to get their coupons and discounts too.  You can thank me later babes.
