The Tall Chicks Guide to Style:
Q: What is the easiest way to be stylish, especially on a budget?
A: Go to stores that offer amazing value - Long Tall Sally! When you shop here, you not only get the trends but you also find that they are within your budget. For instance, you now can buy 3 items and get the fourth item FREE! But tall style is also about feeling comfortable whatever you decide to wear. I personally find in the summer the easiest and most comfortable pieces are summer dresses. Look great, feel comfortable without sacrificing style! What's awesome is, as a taller babe, we can wear any length in dresses and skirts! I just bought the Kiti Dress and wowee is this one ever a STUNNER! ...Another way to be stylish but still watch your budget is to splurge on key pieces but saving on items with a limited lifespan, like check out the new Rock and Republic jeans! Thank you for the extra length Long Tall Sally, these jeans definitely ROCK! So you splurge here but save on a chic top. Try the Bergamo blouse in black. Don't forget to work with new ways of wearing your clothes; try rolling your new Rocks up, YES you can wear them like this tall ladies, don't forget - You can wear anything!!
Q: How Should You Work Trends Into Your Wardrobe?
A: Mix high and low (No pun intended). Spend money on your jeans but save on your trendy shoes, like Converse. Try the Malawi Hat with your new Rocks!
Q: What Is Your Most Versatile Piece?
A: I have just received and love my new Sicily and Sardinia Trousers. Perfect, versatile pieces I can dress up for the office or wear out for the evening. I love their simplistic flattering cuts and their extremely long lengths, especially me being 6'2!!
Q: What's Your Shopping Strategy?
A: Pick a new jacket, either go for the classic trench - every girl's closet needs one - or for a suit jacket. A good one to try that's not too fussy is the Corsica jacket. What's great about it is you can pair it with your dressed up trousers or your new Rocks for a more casual look....Don't deprive yourself of a little retail therapy, even when times are tough. Shop with a purpose, take advantage of sales and watch Long Tall Sally's website as sales change monthly. Calculate the cost-per-wear ratio to determine where to put your money. If you’re a live-in-your-jeans kind of gal like me, then say heck YES to splurging on your new pair of Rock and Republic jeans! (I think you have to hurry though, looks like they are selling out again!)
Q: What Are Your Top 3 Picks Right Now?
A: Kiti Dress, Rock and Republic jeans, Corsica Trouser.
