Are Tall Crops an Oxymoron?

Today is a good day for several reasons. Number one, we finally got our hair done!! We are the terrible clients who go too long between haircuts, and then crawl our mangy, split end, grown out roots butts back to our hair stylist. At that point we’re begging for her to work some magic. Luckily she always comes through with a great refresh, and we always come out with a relaxing sister night at the salon. Number two, it’s Friday and we have the weekend ahead of us! That one was a little more obvious.

Caitlin is seeing Randy Houser in concert tonight and checking out a new Tapa’s restaurant. She loves attending a good country concert with friends. Tim and I will be meeting up with my parents to see Captain Marvel. I keep hearing how different it is from the typical Marvel movie plot line. That’s not a bad thing in my opinion, and I can never turn down a chance to sit at the movies and shove my face with popcorn!

In keeping with the striped skirt I wore in yesterday’s post here, we’re back again today with a striped sweater. It always feels like in March, we should be able to stow away all sweaters and move onto to warmer weather items. Alas, it’s not meant to be; at least in Wisconsin. What’s always nice about the later batches of sweaters released by retailers, is that they typically brighten up, so at least the colors can feel more springlike. It allows us to more patiently pine away for the day we can bare our arms and eventually our shoulders to the sun once more.

This sweater is actually Caitlin’s, and is from asos tall range. Initially when we saw it, it was very appealing to us both. I was hesitant because sometimes even a tall crop, is too short. Which maybe has something to do with age, not that I’m opposed to a well done crop top. When I put it on, I realized it definitely could still work on me, so another item we are able to borrow between us.

I wore it with Express high waisted dark wash denim. So, anytime you buy denim from Express, their idea of high waist seems to be different than other places. Like this pair, it is definitely high in the back. I’d like to see it cover my belly button in the front as well. It all comes back to them needing to actually do a tall range. Either that or I’ll just take my money elsewhere. That’s been the most rewarding part of blogging, is figuring out that we don’t have to settle.

We want to encourage you to do the same. We’ll keep on showing you different options, and hopefully one of them will be the missing piece for you. That’s how it has felt finding new tall specific shops. It is completely empowering and rewarding! Fashion should be a fun way to express yourself, not a battle to try on 50 items only to realize none of them fit you.

All that being said, hope y’all enjoy your weekend. We’ll be out there snapping some pictures and hopefully enjoying the increased temperatures! Tell us below, do you avoid wearing sweaters in the spring, or just embrace the inevitable?
