Extra long camis

September 11, 2008

long-camisolesMy 18 year old body didn’t mind so much if a shirt was a bit short and showed my tummy or back when I bent over. But my “32 years old and 2 & 3/4 kids later” body? Yeah, that’s not happening. I’d rather keep things covered.

Thank goodness for long camisoles. They’re great for layering. Sakura Rose has a nice selection of extra long camis in several colors, some with lace and some without. Plus they’re reasonably priced.

Buy Online: Sakura Rose
Price: $5.99-14.99


Keyhole bib-front top

May 13, 2008

keyhole-bib-topThe Gap is having a sale on a bunch of their tall sized tops. This one struck me, because it doesn’t have a defined waist, which would hit us tall gals at the ribs. Plus it looks cute, comfy, and feminine. Available in several colors and in tall sizes.

Price: $22.99 on Sale!


Collarbones Baby!

April 28, 2008

everyday-teeI love the neckline on this ‘Everyday Tee’. I’m not a big fan of cleavage spilling out everywhere -maybe because I’m lacking in that area. But there is something sexy about showing a bit of collarbone. Plus, because it’s from Long Elegant Legs there is extra length in the torso and sleeves. Available in a bunch of colors, from dark & neutral to bright summer shades.

Price: SALE $19


Band Collar Shirt

April 14, 2008

band-collar-shirtThis band-collar shirt from J. Jill comes in tall sizes at 27″ long. It has 3/4 length sleeves, pearlized buttons, and a notched band collar. To top it all off, it’s machine washable. And nearly half off. But hurry over, some sizes are selling out quickly.

Price: $19.99


Square Neck Top

April 7, 2008

square-neck-topI can’t put my finger on it, but there is just something I love about square neck tops. They are hard to find in tall sizes though. This one is not tall-sized, but is from Shade Clothing, whose tops are notoriously long. It has vintage crochet trim around the neckline, and the shoulders are a bit gathered. Available in three colors.

Price: $28.50


Dare wear silk?

April 4, 2008

silk-checkered-blouseI’ll admit, I usually don’t. With two food-slingers under the age of four, I generally stick with low maintenance tops. Ok, low maintenance everything. But if you can pull off silk, this is a great blouse for evening or the office. Because it comes in tall sizes, the wrap around waistband may actually hit you at the waist instead of the ribs.  Not for the faint of heart though, this blouse is 100% sillk and dry clean only.

Buy Online: Banana Republic
Price: $69.99


Tall dobby-stripe pleated shirt

March 29, 2008

dobby-stripe-pleated-shirtThis pleated shirt is screaming spring to me- especially in white.  Pair it with a pair of capris or a skirt for play, or under a sweater or blazer for work.  The fabric has a subtle textured pattern, and cute puff sleeves, with banded cuffs and pleated trim.  Available in tall sizes, navy and white.

Buy online: The Gap
Price: 39.50


Pin Tucked Tee

March 24, 2008

pin-tucked-teeOk I admit it, I’m a t-shirt slob. But wearing one like this would make me feel less guilty. It’s feminine, flattering, and tall-sized! You get the look of something fancier, with the comfort of a tee. Available in Aqua or White.

Buy Online: Long Elegant Legs
Price: $44.00


The Wonder Tee

March 19, 2008

the-wonder-teeThe Wonder Tee by Downeast Basics is a great staple for any wardrobe. It comes in many colors, and while it is not tall-sized, it runs very long. Flat tummy? Wear it alone. Have a mama-roll? It’s great for layering. At this price, I may get a few different colors.

Buy online: Downeast Basics
Price: $9.99


Double-Layer Wrap Tee

January 28, 2008

double wrap teeWrap styles are pretty universally flattering regardless of your body shape. I like this faux wrap t-shirt from Eddie Bauer, it comes in some soft colors that can cheer up your winter landscape if you happen to be drowning in snow like I am.

Buy online: Eddie Bauer
Price: $39.50 for the tall sizes.
