Staying Positive and Supporting Tall Clothing

Like many of you, we’re feeling adrift while attempting to navigate our new reality. It feels a bit melodramatic at times to write/feel things like that. We’re safe in our homes and we still both are employed. That alone is privileged, and we assuredly recognize it. I think it comes down to being creatures of habit/routine. When we’re removed from that routine, it becomes a source of anxiety to form a new “normal.” I’m sure a lot of you are experiencing the same. Maybe you lost your job in this melee and have to worry about your next paycheck. We’re so sorry if that happened to you, and we’ll keep trying to post any jobs we come across. 

In an effort to keep a semblance of normalcy, we’re continuing to share on social media through this. We want to continue to connect with you, our tall sisters and of course any of our women who may be reading/following along. Let us know how you’re doing. The more we share, the easier it will be to get through this. We’d love to provide you some encouragement and hope to help through this trying time.

Now that I did the whole melancholy thing, I want to share a list of things that are keeping us sane/happy at home. 

Jenilee’s List

• Beautiful plant scenery to work next to
• Still having a job to work from home
• Getting outside more than I would normally and enjoying exploring our neighborhood
• Enjoying both cooking more and also ordering food from local restaurants
• Finishing books that I’ve had partially done for weeks if not months
• Being able to prepare for our home renovation more easily
• Overall taking the opportunity to be a bit more intentional as life has slowed down tremendously. 

Caitlin’s List

• Barre District Online courses
• Facetime
• The ability to go on long walks outside and find places/parks I didn’t know existed
• My small group/more time to pray
• More time to make healthy interesting meals that I can plate aesthetically pleasing
• family/friends that check-in
• Extra time to clean/get rid of things/organize.
• An overwhelming amount of time to count my blessings and express my gratitude every day. 

We’ve both been extra sensitive to the plight of small businesses during this time. I’m sure if you follow along on Instagram or caught our Real Tall Find’s Friday post, you’d notice evidence of this. Being closed or limited as we all are, it doesn’t take too long to negatively affect small businesses. Today we’re sharing one of Height of Fashion’s newest drops. Despite being all the way down in Australia, they are facing the same quarantine limitations as we’re experiencing. 

If you’re still shopping during this time, check out their website! They have some of the chicest tall girl options out there. We all bemoan the fact of not being able to be on-trend, but Natalie has completely remedied this for us! We’re totally obsessed with these leopard joggers she sent us to try out. They are a silky lightweight material, which is ideal for transitioning into your spring wardrobe. I’m wearing a size medium, and for size reference I’m normally a 10/12 in bottoms. I’d say go with size large for a looser fit! The length is perfect, and I love that there is a side zipper so you don’t have to size up if you’re worried about getting it over your hips/thighs. She thought of everything with these joggers. 

I paired it with a one shoulder ribbed sweater I have from ASOS, and finished it with my red flats from Long Tall Sally for a complete tall look. I know I always feel my best when I’m wearing items made for my tall frame. These leopard print pants can be rocked into the Summer with a tank top, for those cooler Wisconsin summer nights and maybe adding a denim jacket over the top! They are a real statement piece, while still letting you feel like you’re wearing pajamas. 

If you caught our Instagram post Monday you saw Caitlin feature Height Of Fashion’s black jeans. She styled them with a handful of different tops to show the versatility of them. You can wear them dressed up, dressed down, and anything in between. The length is nothing short of what you’d expect from HOF (pun intended). They have just the right amount of stretch to give you an ultra comfortable feel while still keeping their perfect shape and not stretching out.

Stay tuned we’ve got more coming in the next few weeks, luckily we got most of the items shot before quarantine happened! We did put in another order recently, and we’re glad we did more than ever because small businesses need our support.
