Tall Jeans at Target!

I’m bouncing back from another shamefully long break. I’m prego again and just came off a few yucky months. I’m finally getting back into the swing of things.

My friend Jessica sent me a message recently, to let me know that Target has Mossimo jeans with 34″ inseams. But she ordered a pair, and they measured at 35″! They are only available online, of course. But super cheap, and some are cute!

Buy Online: Target
Price: Varies, $19.99- $34.99

Big feet? Check this out!

Most of us tall girls have larger than average feet. I like to think we just have better balance than most.

I just heard of a shop called Barefoot Tess that specializes in size 10-15 shoes! And they’re having a store-wide sale for one day! Just use this code at checkout to save 20% on anything: 20OFF

Don’t you think this Madeline “Vivacious” heel would be fun for upcoming holiday parties?

30% off the most comfy pants ever!

Yes I’ve been slacking lately. Summer break has gotten the better of me.

Now that’s out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff. These pants! I am ashamed to admit I have still been lounging in my college athletic sweats from the mid-90s. Apparently it was cool back then to wear sweats two sizes too big. So I’ve had my eye out for sweats that are a little more flattering and feminine looking.

They come in 36″ inseams. I was worried they would be too short after washing/drying, but I have dried them several times and they are still long enough. Super soft, comfy, and warm. They’re available in several colors. Be sure to click on the “Tall” tab above the color options before selecting your size & color.

To make these even greater, Old Navy is having a 30% site wide sale today. Just use this code at checkout: ONBIG30

Buy 3 tall items, get 1 free!

A reader just reminded me that The Tall Girl Store was bought out by Long Tall Sally, who is based out of the UK. They have a mail order center out of Massachussetts, so that will make returns a bit less expensive for those of us ordering from the US.

Just FYI, they are having a promotion right now where you buy three items and get the fourth free. The cheapest item of the four will be free. Just use this code at checkout: WP0443

36″ long jeans in stock!

I’ve been frustrated with Old Navy for a while now. I was so excited to find they carried 36″ long jeans, but they never seem to be in stock unless you are a size zero which I definitely am not.

While a couple styles I’ve been waiting on still aren’t stocked, I just noticed today that they have these jeans stocked in almost every tall size. Plus they are $29.50! I’m going to try them out. Let me know what you think if you do too.

Tall Hoodie

Ok, I’m tired of wearing my husband’s hooded sweatshirts. By the way is it just me that can’t say hoodie when it is for a guy? It sounds feminine. Guys wear hooded sweatshirts. Girls wear hoodies.

Anyway, I always wear huge man-sweatshirts to get the extra length. But of course they look frumpy. So I’ve been wanting a tall girl’s hoodie that is a bit more fitted, but with extra length. I’ve had my eye on this one. What do you think?

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.

Is it a scam?

Frequent online shoppers, you’ll want to read this one! I’ve had a few people ask me about these cash back shopping sites that are popping up. I know there are a lot out there and I can’t vouch for them all. But the two I am most familiar with and use regularly are Shop at Home and Cashbaq. These are sites that set up affiliate accounts with most major retailers. It is a brilliant business model, and completely legitimate.

So how does it work? Basically, these sites have deals with a bunch of stores that pay them a percentage of what you spend when they refer you. They turn around and share a portion of their earnings with you. (Everything is tracked online. Just make sure you are logged in to get credit.) It is brilliant, because everyone wins. The stores get your business, cash back sites get a small percentage, and you earn a little back on the shopping you would have done anyway. You can also earn more by referring friends.

If you frequently shop online the earnings can add up quickly, so I highly recommend signing up with one of these. I have gotten in the habit of going through these sites when shopping line. I earn a little back each time, and use the checks from them to do what? Keep shopping online of course!

Feel free to email me with questions, or check them out yourself at Shop at Home and Cashbaq.
