Hey There Tall Friends!

How are you? Missing one week of chatting with you (ok, I realize the conversation is completely one sided!) feels like forever. Hope you've been well and enjoying these past few weeks. Did you wear your red, white, and blue tall fashions for Independence Day?! I can hardly believe it was just a few short days ago. Summer just started but I can already feel it slipping away...which brings me to my next point!

Tips and Trends:

I can't believe I'm even going to say this, but I feel like fall is just around the corner! I'm already seeing advertisements for back to school and all the summer markdowns are making me giddy with excitement. I am definitely not ready to think about fall but at the same time, as I'm looking at summer markdowns, I'm asking myself "Will I even have time to wear this?" Have you ever purchased something seasonal at a deeply discounted price, worn it once and then had to put it away for next summer or winter? Then next summer comes around, you pull it out, and think "I remember this being cuter." (Or is it just me)?! Well in case you've ever found yourself in that predicament, I thought I'd mention one trend that I think will have staying power through summer to fall.

I kind of can't even believe I haven't highlighted this trend yet because I'm a bit obsessed with it. What is that you ask? Chambray! Chambray is summer-y and we've seen it paired with pastel jeans all over Pinterest (a look I LOVE). But chambray is also perfect for fall. Pair it with boots or corduroys (or both!) and you're good to go. Here are some of my favorite tall chambray pieces (or pieces that will work for tall bodies!):

 

steve allen shirtdress

Steven Allen Classic Shirtdress- I'd wear this as a shirt. The model is 5'10"-- looks like a shirt on her to me! It measures 16 inches from shoulder to hem.

 

br linen tall chambray shirt

Banana Republic Linen-cotton chambray shirt (tall)

 

old navy chambray

Old Navy Chambray Women's Tie Hem Top (tall).

 

tall chambray pants

Old Navy Women's Chambray Trousers
(tall).

 chambray scarf
Old Navy Women's Fringed Sheer Scarves
.

 chambray dress
Chambray roll-sleeve shirt dress (tall)

 by the bay dress

Simplicity by the Bay Dress (I'd wear this as a shirt. It's 33.5 to 34.5 inches depending on size).

  tory burch dress
Tory Burch Brigitte Denim Dress. Another one I'd wear as a shirt (or as a dress with leggings/thick tights). It's 34 inches long.

 
  
For both guys and gals, chambray is a very hot trend that tends to sell out like wildfire so order now!

News, Updates, & Review:
Some of you may have heard that Krista underwent surgery. Things were more complicated than the doctor realized but fortunately she is ok and is recuperating well! I know she's thankful for your support, well wishes, and prayers! She is slowly returning to 'normal,' and in the meantime has blogged some tidbits, sales, and style advice you don't want to miss. 
Check out the
Tall Clothing Mall Blog to see posts on 40 inch inseam pants for men, 4th of July sales (many of which are still going on), and Part II of the accessories for men post. Then head on over to TallSnob.com for my first post in answer to a personal shopping request ( swimwear for a small bust ), a trendy, but affordable tall outfit from partner Dorothy Perkins, a tall "everything" sweater (you know- that staple piece that matches everything?!), and style advice on skinny jeans for tall women. 
 
Howdy Partner: 

This week's partner spotlight is on Avenue: fashion for women size 14 and up. How can you look at their homepage and not want to see more?! First of all I love all the bright colors featured there. Secondly I love that the models are plus sized (I should say, I understand that they are thinner than the average plus sized woman but 'regular' models are a size 2 to 4 and the average size of an American woman is a size 12 to 14 (according to WebMD), so basically you have the same ratio when it comes to plus sized modeling. Ok, I'm totally digressing!). My point is that I loathe seeing plus sized clothing modeled by a woman wearing a size 0. It just seems wrong! So here you have women with curves, modeling great fashion, at affordable prices. Their tall section isn't huge but for this very niche market (plus size + tall), it's better than average. Check out their tall plus sized section  here.
