2021 has been a year full of.. A year. LOL. I think we can all agree that we didn’t envision this extending on as long as it has. However, 2021 brought me my biggest joy. The birth of Wesley, so it wasn’t all bad! We’re hopeful you had bright spots and moments throughout the year as well and encourage you to try to reflect on those as the year ends. 2021 definitely brought me less consistency to the blog. I know there are people still out there reading it and we hope that it helps you in some small way. That was and is our intent!
Another exciting thing 2021 brought us was becoming Amalli Talli ambassadors. As longtime fans of their quality clothing, it was all too easy to say yes to an official partnership. We especially loved being able to share items AND a discount code to you. Our partnership is coming to a close for now, and we wanted to highlight some of our favorite pieces in case you’re after Christmas shopping and can use the code one last time before it goes away.
Moto Jacket – Black and Wine
One of our most reached for pieces. You aren’t going to find a better fitting, more comfortable jacket than this. It is ideal for everything! Most of all because it is sweatshirt material, but makes you look tailored and chic. Some sort of sorcery involved in the making of this jacket, I swear! We both wear a size large in this jacket. Amalli also released a deep red version that would be a perfect addition to your closet as well!
Shacket – Multi Plaid, Solid Grey, and Red Plaid
Another layering piece that we have integrated seamlessly into our wardrobes is Amalli’s shacket. They have two (almost sold out!!) plaid options and also just released a solid gray that we are just on the cusp of purchasing. With the Midwest weather, it’s something you can easily grab for cold mornings and again know that you’ll have that tailored look instead of a bulkier men’s version! Also wear size large in these shackets, which seems to be our go-to for their outerwear.
Plaid Blazer
If you’re anything like us, you’re constantly on the hunt for tall blazers. Look no further for the perfect plaid addition! We’re typically hesitant about blazers because we constantly have to compromise sizing with our broader shoulders. Not the case thankfully with this blazer. Caitlin has it in large and it feels perfectly comfortable. Plus it’s another piece you can wear casually or professionally!
Are you sensing a theme yet? It’s layering season in the Midwest. We’re just trying our best to stay warm, y’all! Caitlin bought this cardigan, and it is the perfect piece to match both the mustard turtleneck sweater AND the mustard ribbed long sleeve (which already are in her closet). Caitlin got this cardigan in a size medium and it has a nice fitted look.And of course comes with their signature long sleeves.
Ribbed Long Sleeves, Dusty Rose, Mustard, Hunter Green, Burnt Orange
That brings us to the under layering pieces, and these definitely top our list. They are made of a nice thick material, which also has some nice spandex stretch to it to keep it fitted well. There are a plethora of great color options, so something for everyone’s preference. Our pro tip is find the colors you love and buy them instead of picking different colors for variety’s sake. You will end up always reaching for your preferred colors, plus it makes your closet much more cohesive for putting together outfits! We both wear medium in the ribbed long sleeves. We have dusty rose, mustard, hunter green, and burnt orange.
Ribbed Mockneck Long Sleeve – Black and Dark Mauve
If you’re like us, the more body parts covered in the Winter, the better. This ribbed version just adds the mockneck. We would say, it fits a bit tighter than the regular long sleeve and feels less stretchy. Still stick with your regular size, unless you’re looking for a looser fit and then you *could* size up. We both wear size medium in the mockneck.
Smocked Sleeve Top
We also both have this in several colors and luckily Amalli Talli decided to restock the black so more ladies could get their hands on this perfect top. It has the perfect fit in size medium for us and the sleeve detail is everything we look for! I only linked black above but there are a few left in the wine and white!
V Neck, Crew Neck, and Turtleneck Sweaters
Depending on your neckline preference, Amalli Talli has you covered with all! We like a good crew neck but are drawn to the v neck in this soft sweater style. My sensitive skin loves that this sweater has no wool content in it and that it is lightweight and therefore can be easily layered! We both wear a medium in this sweater and it is an easy looser fit. I have the berry color and it is an amazing vibrant sweater for those dreary winter days. The mustard turtleneck is also one of our favorite colors!
SALE SECTION
If you haven’t been paying attention, you might have missed some great Amalli Talli items that are marked down to either sale or final sale!
Camo leggings
We both have these tall leggings, because CAMO and they are a great crossover, meaning you could wear to workout but also as athleisure (which is our preference).
Tall Tweed Jacket
Another great tall jacket from Amalli Talli and this one is also perfect for your workwear needs! I have this in size large and also love that there are plenty of colors to mix and match.
Brighton Sweater Dress
A truly beautiful vibrant sweater dress, you won’t find a better fitting option than this sweater dress! Caitlin has it in size large and it lays really nicely.
Linen Shorts in Natural or Sage
Honorable mention to these shorts because we don’t technically have this iteration, but we have the linen shorts from the year prior and they are great. A good length on our legs to feel comfortable and confident and a nice lightweight fabric!
We could go on and on about everything you need in your closet, but we have plenty of other Amalli Talli posts waxing on about it for you to reference as well. Legitimately we could recommend most of the products with ease, which again made this ambassadorship very easy to say yes to! All you really need to know is use the code THEREALTALL10 for 10% off your purchase and rest assured you’ll be happy with whatever you buy. Lastly, always happy to answer any questions discussing fit if you’re concerned!
