Tall Girl Problems: Take One.
Shopping at the mall yesterday for a bridal shower dress. The cutesy "just above the knee" dresses are WAY above the knee dresses. Or maybe they should be called "just barely below the butt dresses." (Too far?) Not exactly a good choice for playing games and opening presents next to grandma and church ladies. Or ever?
"So try a maxi dress!" You say.
Nope. Yes, maxi dresses are usually great for the tall and thin, but most of them at the stores I can afford are awkwardly just barely too short. Like, shin length. Hmm. Again, Nope.
The thing is, I'm not even THAT tall. About 5'10 barefoot.
Don't even get me started on jeans. But seriously. Don't.
Now shoes...they have pros and cons. Yes, I'll just say it, tall girls usually have bigger feet. The pro: cheap shoes at the Outlet malls because they always have my size (9.5-10).
The cons: cute girly shoes are NEVER as cute in a size 10. And while they say heels make tall girls look more model-esque, they also make me tower over my fiancé and any other friends I may be with, which just makes me feel like some sort of freakish monster.
All main-stream (aka affordable) clothing stores are built for shorter, average height girls. It's okay, I get that, there are more of them. But having to go to the stores that have "tall" sizes and spend $90 on WORK jeans (that will just get dirty and quickly ruined...I work in a warehouse) just so they touch my shoes so I can maintain some sort of dignity....is a bit ridiculous.
Side note: Even American Eagle "tall" sizes...are too short.
But I guess it just gives me all the more reason to live in athletic clothes and capris. And write a Tall Girl Problems blog.
So I never did buy a dress at the mall yesterday. Instead, after 2 hours of searching I left and immediately texted my friend, who is just as tall as me, with WAY more fashion sense, and raided her closet.
Tall Girl for the win.
