They See Me Blazin’

*I will not mention the terrible weather in Wisconsin, I will not mention the terrible horrible weather in Wisconsin* *I will not mention the terrible, no good, very bad, weather in Wisconsin* (SOS HELP!) Totally not kidding, just being dramatic. We are all to the point now where it’s just exhausting. I am sick of the air hurting my face, shoveling the snow, scraping ice off of my car and layering up every single day. My sweaters are living up to their full potential this winter but my brain is well beyond them into spring.

In fact, I have had to wipe the drool off of my phone and keyboard multiple times swooning for the new spring trends online. The colors, the prints, and the sales are really starting to chisel away at my self control. So as you will see here, I got as close to spring as I could by adding in some open toed shoes and a nice crisp spring Blazer color.

To switch directions a little bit; do you ever see outfits on other bloggers, celebrities, or Pinterest and feel the need to immediately recreate it? That’s 100% what happened here. Height of Fashion posted a picture on their Instagram of Chrissy Teigen and Rosie Huntington Whiteley essentially in this same outfit and I was smitten with the style.

If we’re being honest; if I saw these pictures on their own Instagrams or in a magazine, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice. Especially knowing that the odds of a blazer in that color fitting me are generally slim to none. The shoulders are usually not wide enough, sleeves too tight or too short and in general they just tend to be ill fitting. However; since HOF posted it due to one of their own products, I knew I stood a chance.

This blazer is meant to fit a bit more oversize than traditional blazers, which I was here for. I love me a good girlfriend blazer. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the fit of this blazer. All the details are perfect, down to the details of the amazing button. After I tried it on, I instantly began thinking of other pieces I own to recreate this look. Luckily for me, everything else you see here I already had. Luckily for all of you, this cami is still shoppable right now. As are these shoes. Jenilee and I both own these jeans, but they are a bit older from ASOS. I am not a huge Asos denim fan typically but these ones have been a favorite for a few years. I’ll link some similar options below for y’all.

Jenilee and I set some great intentions this year for the blog. One of them was to try out new to us tall retailers, in order to hopefully help all of you. Obviously we frequent Asos, Gap and Express but we thought it was time we expanded our horizons. So with in mind, I just wanted to touch briefly on Height of Fashion before I call it a day. They are a new to us, smaller company, based out of Australia. And if you ask us, they are killing the game.

Much like Amalli Talli they don’t take the term “Tall clothing” lightly. When they say tall/long they mean it and it shows. The sleeve length couldn’t be more generous in this blazer and I am so in love with wearing a blazer with ease. Even tall blazers from big box shops are typically too tight and restricting for my liking, but not this one!

We can’t wait to show you another top we both snagged in our new post on Friday. I can’t believe I am saying this, but the sleeves were almost too long for my 5’11 height. GASP. However, it just made for more of a bubble sleeve look which I was into. Stay tuned for that post! We did snag a few other items from Height of Fashion. We decided that we are going to wait until spring shows it’s face, before we shoot those looks for you. Good news for you, is that right now you can use code: REALTALLBABES (all caps) for 10 % off your order.

Where does your biggest style inspiration come from? We would love to hear if its from blogs, Pinterest, your friends or somewhere else!
