You may or may not know this, but I'm tall - like really tall - like pushing six feet tall. Everyone comments on how fun it must be being tall but I don't necessarily agree. While I've come to accept my height it was not fun at all growing up. All the boys were shorter than me {don't worry - I ended up finding an over six foot lad}, "long" pants didn't exist at my favorite teeney bopper stores and I just felt plain awkward.
Luckily around my college years it seemed like companies started realizing that there was a market for tall people too - not only the short people needed special lengths in their pants and dresses - not to mention sleeves! While it is still hard to shop at a lot of stores, and sometimes I just put up with awkward length pants because I can't find anything else, there are some favorites that I have come to rely on. All the stores in the Gap family {
Gap,
Old Navy and
Banana Republic} have tall sizes and another new favorite is
LOFT. You pretty much always have to shop online for tall lengths still and I sure hope that changes in the years to come cause I'm not getting any shorter. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite {tall-sized} fashion picks.
Tall girls unite :) Are you tall? Have any favorite places to shop? Do share!
