Dressing a Tall Womens Figure in Longer Length Clothes Sizes and
Where to Find Clothing
Tall women come in two types: models, and the rest of us.
Although in the Western world, men and women have been growing
taller and taller over the generations, women over 5 ft 8" are
considered tall when it comes to clothing manufacturers, who
apparently measure their profits in the extra inch or two it
would take to make tall women (or plus size women) comfortable
in their clothes. Tall women also run the risk of becoming
terrifically shy, since they tend to shoot up like bamboo while
the nastiest little boys in junior high are still all mouth and
no brains. Being tall makes it nearly impossible for girls to
disappear, which lets them in for a lot of teasing and mental
torture. The lucky girls use their height to establish an
athletic career, and can pound short, nasty boys into the turf,
but the rest of us just suffer through it and hope to exact our
revenge in college.
Be Proud of Your Tall Model Like Height
There is no way to look less tall. Let's just get that out of
the way right now. Slouching, if anything, makes women look
taller, which may be why the flappers affected a bizarre,
S-shaped posture that made them look like they had belly cramps.
Tall was sexy then, even with cramps.
In fact, tall is sexy now, but if you were one of those
tormented, willowy teens, you may not have gotten over the
trauma of living in a world where it's better to be mediocre
than to stand out in any way from the crowd. If you have
problems accepting that tall is sexy, note the fact that most
girls can't even consider a modeling career if they're under
5 ft 9".

WAYFARER STYLE SUNGLASSES
Retail Price: $39.99
DEAL PRICE: $3.99
These classic and always popular Wayfarer style sunglasses have
never been more affordable. At $3.99 you'll want to stock up.
They are perfect for the beach or any activity. It's the Wayfarer
Style... your probably more familiar with it if I say Tom Cruise
in Risky Business, The Blues Brothers, Will Smith, etc...
Sunglass styles come and go but this style remains popular
and stylish. Two reasons for this:
1. Rugged and built to last. You won't have to worry about
anything flimsy or breaking off on these.
2. The lens color is very dark. It's so hard to find a real
dark pair of glasses anymore.
Drop them, toss them... they can take it! These will last you a
long, long time. To grab a pair or two, visit:

High Heels vs. Flat Shoes
Fashionistas tell tall gals to wear flats, maybe because fashion
is based on the idea that no matter what you look like, you
should attempt the opposite. Flat shoes don't add height, but
they also don't do much for your legs. If you're going to be tall,
(and, clearly you are), have fabulous legs and great posture to
match. Downplay your height, and you downplay a positive
attribute: play it up, and you're operating in a whole new
league: real, individual, unapologetic style.
Worried About Dating a Shorter Men - Don't Be!
Here's another radical idea. If you're uncomfortable dating men
who are shorter than you, don't bother. You don't owe any favors
to a guy who's probably dating you because he likes your looks:
you should like his looks, and if short guys don't appeal to you,
don't waste their time or yours. Tall men are often looking for
tall women for very practical reasons: they're easier to dance
with, and they make a tall man feel like he's out with a woman,
not a doll. You have every right to date men you find appealing.
Dress in Clothes to Flatter Your Tall Body Type
Play up your height with tall clothes: long lines, knee-high
boots (with heels), long hair. Look for bias-cut dresses,
straight skirts and fitted blouses. Don't ever try to minimize
your arms, legs, hands or neck; they are sexy features, and
longer is better. Pay homage to them with opera-style gloves,
sheer, sheer hose, nicely-filed gleaming nails and ropes of
pearls.
