Hi Tall Friends,  

Are you all following us on Pinterest?  Do you love Pinterest?  Or have a love/hate relationship with it?  I love the inspiration.  I love the organization.  I love the recipes.  I hate it when I pin something that is so far out of reach.  I hate having a massive virtual "to-do" or "to-buy" list lurking in my head. But I'm pretty sure my love outweighs my hate (why else would I have 2600 pins?!). 

Well today when browsing my "style file" board I came up with the genius idea to find an entire "pinned" outfit in tall sizes.  Ok maybe it's not exactly genius.  I loved coming up with affordable alternatives at stores we shop at every day.  This pin was sort of my warm up:

I love it when "simple" looks SO cool. I went through a "forest green phase," and I thought it was over.  But maybe not!  On the left is the pin. On the right:

Women's Pop-Color Rockstar Cords (Tall).  These are available in eight shades and just might be hanging out in my cart right now.  These are super affordable AND on sale right now. 

Steve Madden Intyce in Cognac (To size12) I've featured these lovely boots before.  They are perfect.  And while hers look like they could be X and upwards of $300, the Steve Madden version is much more affordable.

Ok, now that I've warmed up, check out this Pinterest outfit:

I LOVE it.  It also happens to be totally attainable!  Here are my tall finds:

Classic Belted Trench. (Tall). + Liz Claiborne Long Sleeve Cable & Ribbed Sweater (Tall & available in six colors). + 7 for all Mankind Roxanne Skinny Jean (33 inch inseam). + Eddie Bauer Tall Flannel Utility Shirt (Tall & available in six fun plaid color schemes) + UGG Australia 'Fabrizia' Boot. Up to size 12.

This is a classic and chic look.  The skinny jeans and moto boots give it a fashionable edge but if your style is more on the conservative side, you could easily swap out the skinnies for boot cut jeans and brown flats or loafers.  The great thing about Pinterest (and fashion blogs like TCM) is that it's all about inspiration.  Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and just need some fresh ideas.  You may also want to check out Krista's Pinterest Boards.

Today's partner spotlight is on Banana Republic.  I love BR for many reasons: low flat rate shipping, free returns to store, comprehensive tall section, quality, affordability (especially with constant sales and discount codes), and style.  Is that enough?!  Continue reading for my picks from this awesome partner.

Silk/cotton/cashmere v-neck sweater- I can't believe the price on this luxury sweater!  In my opinion one can never have too many basic V-necks.  I just added one to my cart! 1 Christmas gift down (sh, don't tell my husband). 

Cashmere shawl-collar pullover - Basics are clutch but I love alternatives to the basics. The shawl collar adds style and the cashmere adds luxury to an otherwise basic sweater.

Toggle shawl-collar pullover- Love the toggle button detail on this handsome sweater.
