Feeling Tall Long and Curvy

Days at the lake, out on an open body of water, soaking up sun, eating some freshly grilled food while playing yard games… sounds like Memorial Day to us! Although it’s probably looking different than your typical plans, we hope you’re still able to make the most of it. A lot of states are getting back to their version of the new normal. It will be interesting to see how this transitioning time proceeds. Our gym is opening back up June 1st and we’re waiting anxiously to hear how they will interpret and enact safety measures. 

We’ve been lucky to be able to workout at home, thanks to doing our Barre on demand classes through our local studio. Unfortunately COVID has caused their closure. We’re grateful they did their best to pivot and provide a great value and an effective way to get a workout every day. One of the best parts about working from home has been the ability to do the workout during lunchtime. So when we get dressed in the morning, it only makes sense to put on workout leggings in preparation.

Cue us buying all of the Tall Long and Curvy leggings. You’ve heard us singing the praises of these leggings ever since the first drop. If you slept on them the first time, you know they sold out pretty quickly. Luckily she’s been working nonstop to get them restocked. Which is no easy task with all of the COVID delays in production.

I know a lot of you did snatch them up the first round, so you know for yourself to believe the hype. A lot of my other leggings are more the type of compression fabric that doesn’t equate to comfort. They hold everything in place and make working out a breeze, but as far as sitting in them all day, “it’s gonna be a no from me dawg” (in the wise words of Randy Jackson).

Without these leggings, I’d be forced to make three outfit changes a day…. A day?! That’s pretty absurd for sitting at home where no one will see you. Crisis averted with this latest drop, because I now have two pairs of olive colored and three pairs of black. Yes we both love them enough to buy multiples for back ups. Have you ever experienced the agony of having your pair be in the wash when you need them the most? I made that mistake with the first drop, but never again. I might be a slow learner, but I learn in the end! Caitlin also quickly snatched up another black, two olive green, and the wine color. Our mom also ordered the wine/olive two pack after saying and I quote “I could live in them.” 

Basically these leggings check all the boxes for us. The length is there, plus she added on some extra with the second round! So I even have some fabric bunching at the bottom. They have pockets, which I now miss in all the leggings I own without; so thanks for ruining me. Seriously, they are clutch if you don’t want to carry around a purse or even to store your gym locker key. The fabric is buttery soft but still gives you some support holding you in and smoothing you out. Lastly, these leggings are made for our curves, and that is all I need. No more slipping down because the waist is huge but the legs just fit. 

Caitlin can be picky about her athleisure wear and has been pretty stuck to lululemon and Old Navy but has quickly converted to primarily wearing these if that tells you anything. I guess the only request we will have next is capris or ⅞ so we can get the same comfort and fit all year long. Or perhaps some biker shorts. Thoughts?

If we haven’t sold you on the merits of these leggings, I’m not sure I understand. Hah, I’m having too much fun writing this. You should check out the Tall Long and Curvy website, she has all the bundle options whether you want black and olive, olive and wine, wine and black or even all three! It feels incredible to have someone designing clothing that fits you well which is why I have to rave about them so much. We’re wearing them in a large. Caitlin did order a medium to test out. If you’re in between sizes you could probably size down. Let us know if you have any other questions, and if not – have a great Memorial Day weekend!
