The tall girl's bible...

.....is what they should call the directory (that I am pretty sure I just created) where all tall girls can go to find out where to buy things that fit but won't cost a fortune. Whenever I meet a fellow above average woman, they always ask "Where do you get your jeans?" or "Where do you buy your shoes?". Although I have ONE friend who is 6 ft and wears a size 8.5 shoes, the majority of us wear a 10-13.

The problems I usually find is a) shoes is larger sizes aren't very cute b)websites for talls are overly expensive. I have about 65 pairs of shoes, and most of those are heels. The thing is that I love love love clothes and shoes, and I love dressing up, and I can't do this in grandma pants and hospital shoes. Just saying. What I have decided to do this evening, is some of the places that I shop. Lets start of with jeans.

If you are tall and slim then these are for you. These are The Gap "Long and Lean" $69.50

These are my personal favorite. I have curves which tend do get a little "squished" in a lot of jeans, but these "Curvy Jeans", also from The Gap, fit me perfectly. $69.50

They have several other fits and colors that are reasonably priced if you visit www.gap.com. They also carry Jackets, shirts, dressed, and skirts in tall.

One store that is a little more expensive, but carries some really funky pieces is TopShop. They have a section just for us. One of my absolute favorite sites is ASOS.com. The only downside is that they are based out of the UK, so returning clothes is pretty much impossible because shipping is so much. I even had to pay taxes once when it came through customs. I was slightly annoyed (uugghh). I just love their clothes, and if you shop the sale section like I do, you can find some really amazing things. Even though they don't have a tall section, you can see it say "more lengths" at the bottom of a picture.(like this----->)

 Also, they list the height of the model in each picture so you have a better idea of how long/short it would be on you. I found that the be VERY helpful. 

We also have Alloy, who carry up to a 37" inseam and sizes 0-25. Now don't be alarmed because the site says it's for teens, because the jeans are really cute and very inexpensive. One of the pairs of jeans I have from there are these----------->

Truck Jeans Essential Skinny Jean $39.90

They make my butt look really cute.lol

Buckle also has jeans up to 37" inseam and 34" waist, which you can shop for here. Although Alloy is a 100% online store, Buckle is available at a mall near you.

My favorite shoe store of all is DSW. I can't shop there enough. I urge you to sign up for their rewards program. It is free and you earn points that then gives you rewards certificates. Once you shop enough and become a premier member you get free next day shipping (Awesome!!), but until then you get free shipping on orders over $35. You can return online orders to the store if you don't want to mail them back. To shop for sizes 10-12, please click here.

Nine West also carries 11's and 12's but are a bit more conservative than those found at other stores I have, or will recommend.

So here are some of my favorites, but I will be adding more links as time goes on. Thanks for reading.
