Y’all we are back on the blog and feeling the Christmas spirit right about now, as we get to share an exciting new denim drop from Amalli Talli! That’s right, if you got your hands on the first round of their denim collection, then you’re still probably wearing those on repeat and have been counting down the days to, TODAY! We all need more places to buy tall womens denim and they are coming through for us in a big way. 

Amalli Talli has two new styles for sale today, and they are expanding their selection so there is an option for everyone. Up First is the new version of their jeans, the Jackson Skinny High Rise but with a BUTTON FLY! If you’re like us, then you typically see trends floating around for a while before you can find your length/inseam available. Amalli Talli has us covered in this perfect black wash denim. The rise on this pair is a lovely 11 inches! I am wearing the size 30 and the 36 inseam which is exactly what we got last time, so true to size for us. We’d tell you to size down if you’re in between sizes. Caitlin went with size 29 and the 34 inseam and is also loving the fit. 

One of our favorite parts about this cut is the higher rise in the back. No worrying about your butt crack popping out every time you bend over if you don’t always like to wear a belt. Oh, and of course we are obsessed with the button fly. It gives your standard pair of denim some visual interest and for wearability the buttons are easy to open/close if that’s one of your worries. 

The other thing to note about the difference in these two pairs of denim is they updated the fit below the knee. The original Blakely denim (check our original post on them, here) are a bit relaxed once they hit the knee. This pair is more your true skinny so stays close to the calve the whole way down including a smaller ankle opening. It is worth noting that the fit through the waist, hips, and thighs is exactly the same! 

An issue we’ve struggled with in wearing skinny’s is the inseam might be “correct” but once you’re wearing them for the entire day we realize as we’re sitting at our desks that the knee isn’t in the correct spot. We have to hike them up before sitting down or they pull down or are uncomfortable as you sit for long periods of time. Amalli Talli knows the struggles because they live them as well, so you better believe they tested and retested to avoid any of these issues!

The second pair of denim they cut is the Jackson Skinny Mid Rise. For reference the original Blakely’s have an 10.5 inch rise and this pair is 8.5 inches. The rise still cuts higher in the back, for anyone worrying about butt crackage! As much as we will always love some high rise denim, there will always be a place in our closets for some mid rise. Just never mention low rise in our vicinity, those were some dark, scary times to look back on… haha. 

This pair has the perfect quintessential mid denim wash. A deep true blue that has some whiskering, you will be able to remix them with anything in your closet with ease. Again, we are wearing size 30×36 (Jenilee) and 29×34 (Caitlin) and would recommend going with your usual size and size down if in between. We would like to also point out Caitlin is only wearing a belt as an accessory not for its true function use (no need for that with this fit!)

Amalli Talli also adjusted the inseams this time. After the first launch I think we all realized we were getting the short end of the stick on some of our usual denim retail orders. When you receive a pair of denim that is truly 37, you realize you’ve been getting shortchanged all along. So especially because these are true skinny jeans, you don’t need them to be your inseam to the floor. The 36 inch inseam works great for me and with a lot of my favorite ankle boots still allows for me to turn up the hem! Same for Caitlin with the 34 inch inseam. No cold ankles despite the inch inseam difference this launch!

So we hope we gave you a good rundown of their new denim. We are ecstatic to be able to share our discount code again for 15% off your entire order using THEREALTALL15. Now that you’re done with Christmas shopping, it’s time to shop for yourself and luckily this is valid through 12/31/2020, so if you get some gift cards it will be completely ideal timing to use!

Lastly, everything we wore with their denim today is still shoppable on their site and we highly recommend. The moto jacket (L and XL-Happy with either fit) is almost sold out but if you’re an XXL you need to snag it asap. You will literally never have a jean jacket as perfect as the Hollis, and that is quickly running out of sizes as well. Luckily they restocked their double layer basic long sleeves in white and they are buttery soft and the length is everything! The Adelle green sweater brings the sleeve drama (Both in Medium), and the Mock Turtleneck Red Sweater (Both in Medium) is the perfect basic holiday sweater you’ll always reach for.

Tall ladies are catching on quickly that Amalli Talli gets them completely, because a lot of these items are close to selling out. Our Christmas wish for you is that you find some Amalli Talli under your tree this year. If you don’t, we encourage you to treat yourself and never regret it! Reminder to use code THEREALTALL15 for 15% off your entire order through 12/31/2020. 

And as always if you need any help with sizing or recommendations the best way to get a hold of us is shooting us a DM or leaving a comment on our Instagram, we are delighted to help! See below for comparison to the Blakely Denim drop!

As tall women, all we want are the same exact options as any average woman. Not a big ask, right? Well we’d be wrong in assuming that, as a lot of us know by now. Cut to the regular dm’s we get asking where we find cute large sized womens shoes. The list is NOT long unfortunately. When I wear a size 13 and Caitlin switches between size 11/12 because 11.5 isn’t a thing, you know we are constantly searching for the next shoe retailer! Enter new large sized shoe retailer NYAS, which stands for Not Your Average Size Shoes! After connecting on Instagram, we were watching closely as each new drop got better and better.

Things of note about NYAS, first off the shoes are reasonable! Starting at $50 and ending just over $100 you are going to be able to find a shoe in your budget. Secondly, for just launching they have a wide array of styles so you will find a good selection of flats, boots, sandals, AND heels for your large sized womens shoes needs. Yes, worth mentioning further is you are not limited to flats OR heels. A lot of times retailers limit choices due to budget or assuming there isn’t a need/want for particular styles. They’ve got a selection for you to compile that wish list from!

Lastly, and very noteworthy is NYAS is still a small enough business to care what their customers want! They do occasional polls on Instagram to solicit feedback on what type of shoe styles YOU are looking for. But better than that, we have participated in the polls. Plus we have seen the shoes we asked for get launched on the website. They are listening and following through for us! There is nothing more exciting about that for an underserved market. Plus they are serving us some current styles, so we can easily participate in trends we love!

Cut to Caitlin choosing one of the major on trend styles right now, their Zoe boots. A white pair of ankle boots with a platform?! Sounds like perfection to us. If you’re wondering, are there many outfits I can wear white boots with, you came to the right place. Caitlin is serving you up six different looks to make sure you get the most wear out of your shoes.

She got the Zoe boots in size US12. Favorites about her choice, that they are a square toe style otherwise she sometimes struggles with pointed toe squeezing her feet. The boots are super comfortable so she can get an entire day’s wear out of them instead of short periods. Lastly, she loves the platform lift, so she won’t get worn out the same as wearing a regular heel! So if we haven’t piqued your interest yet, check out the six different looks.

Look #1

Giving you fierce but festive vibes in the Amalli Talli red mock neck sweater and Height of Fashion black skinny jeans.

Look #2

Taking it a little preppy with a white button up under an ASOS neutral oversized sweater and the ever versatile Height of Fashion black skinny jeans.

Look #3

Kicking it casual with our favorite ripped Mom jeans from American Eagle, an ASOS black turtleneck bodysuit topped with an oversized Gap jean jacket and a Gigi Pip hat.

Look #4

In the days of actually attending Winter concerts, this look would be a forerunner with a band tshirt, some denim and finished with an ASOS borg jacket.

Look #5

Turning up the sass factor with a faux leather mini skirt from ASOS and keeping it winter friendly with a turtleneck sweater from H&M.

A day of running errands ending in drinks with the ladies is best when you’re looking chic in a pair of jeans, an ASOS slash neck bodysuit and topped with a timeless plaid blazer.
