Tiered Crinkle Skirt

I saw this skirt a while back, but was undecided and skipped over it. I think it is because of those scary shoes on the model. When I cover up the shoes, I realized I actually like the skirt. Plus it’s on sale! Available in white too.

Sugar Plum Skirt

I have had my eye out for skirts lately, because I need a couple new ones. I like this one because you can winterize it with boots & a sweater, or wear it with sandals when it is warm.

DownEast Basics has several skirts on sale right now. They are not tall-sized but are just past the knees on the models, so I assume they would hit me just a couple inches above.

Everything comes back!

I think it’s true what they say. Everything comes back if you wait long enough. I used to make fun of my mom for wearing a swimsuit with a skirt attached. I grew up swimming at a local college where they required you to wear their swimsuits. Suits that had a big flap across the front, which for lack of a better word, I called a skirt.

Over the past several years, I’ve been curiously watching swim skirts re-emerge. This is a bandwagon I just might jump on. They’re practical, and cover more. Let’s face it, this isn’t the body I had at 20. I am now a creature of practicality and comfort. So I’m keeping my eyes out for swim skirts. I’ve seen some cute ones that coordinate with a suit. But I may just pick up a plain versatile one, to hold me over until I find something I love.

Skirts Skirts Everywhere

I love skirts for summertime, but have always struggled with length issues. On my long body, the ‘long skirts’ hit me mid-shin, the ‘knee-length skirts’ become minis, and the ‘minis’ make me look like I belong on a corner somewhere. At Long Tall Sally, the models are actually tall. So while they do specify the length, you can get an idea of where a skirt will actually hit you at first glance.

They have a bunch of skirts on clearance right now, while supplies last. Sure you pay a bit more shipping, since they’re located in the UK. But you’ll make up for it with these prices. And don’t forget, their prices are in Euros, so use a currency calculator to find the cost in US dollars (or whatever you use).

The ultimate in comfort

My mother will be mortified that I’m admitting this, but ironing in my house is a semi-annual event. I would rather scrub toilets than iron. That’s why I love this type of skirt. Comfortable, wrinkly on purpose, and great for pulling out of a suitcase when you travel. This “Printed Stretch Crinkle Skirt” from Luxuriously Tall is 34.5″ long.

Spring’s-a-comin!

This Arboretum Skirt from Downeast Basics screams spring-time. It makes me wish the two feet of snow in my yard would hurry and melt!  It’s not tall-sized, but Downeast’s stuff tends to run a bit longer, and works well for tall women.

This sophisticated wardrobe staple isn’t specifically made for tall women, but with a 27″ length, it fits my long legs beautifully and is easily the most flattering item hanging in my closet.
