Workwear With Amalli Talli

Good Morning, and welcome to another Monday. Not sure about you, but in Milwaukee this weekend we were blessed with some seriously idyllic Fall weather. The leaves are hitting their peak colors, and it is spectacular! Plus we had a chance to shoot with a photographer visiting from France, so that was a fun way to be outside enjoying the weather as well. To top it off, the beer that Caitlin and my Dad brewed for me was ready to be bottled, so we finished that on Sunday afternoon. Now I just have to anxiously wait a week to taste my Hazy IPA!

We’ve been posting a ton of Amalli Talli items recently, and it’s for good reason. They have never done this big of a drop before. Plus, we’re not even done!! We’re still coming with the second tier of the drops, which include the jean jacket, the moto leggings, AND jeans! Talk about being SPOILED. We can’t tell you how many incredible conversations we’ve had recently with other tall women who are thrilled to have these new items that fit our bodies correctly.

But before we get to sharing those new items we’ve got to keep showing you the versatility of their collections. Somehow they’re managing to bring us pieces that are both classics, but still on-trend. That’s one of the tenets of our style. We don’t want to get rid of pieces after one season. Ideally, everything will last us until it wears out. A good way of realizing if you’re buying the right items is the hanger test. Turn your hangers around backward and only turn them the right way if you wear the item. If you haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it! 

Make sure you take a look at why you didn’t wear it. Is it too short? Did you size up to get more length out of it?  A lot of pieces I get rid of are things I bought in a mainline size because I wanted to fit in, or it’s cheaper. But I’m not exactly saving money if I buy an ill-fitting garment and never wear it, am I? When trying clothing on, I am either with Caitlin or send her a picture. A second opinion from someone you trust is invaluable. They’ve probably heard you complain about fit or preference before. So then they can act as a sounding board and help you thoughtfully question your purchase. 

All of this to say, you need smart purchases that will last you! Sometimes the least “glamorous” purchases have the best-staying power in our closets. You can’t underestimate layering pieces, as evidenced by this favorite crew tank. Crew tanks have long been a favorite of mine because they’re modest aka work appropriate. Give me one in a pop of color like the cobalt blue here, and I can make dozens of outfits happen. 

You saw Caitlin dress this tank down here, so that’s already two ways to style it. Plus the tall girl approved length and torso width are perfectly proportioned for our comfort. The material is just structured enough but doesn’t box you into wearing only dressier clothes. As with their other items, they really thought through all of the details when designing this piece. No more “tall girl-friendly” items needed when we have these layering pieces available to us!

So if you haven’t made a purchase yet, we can only assume it’s because you know once you try their items you know you can never go back! Luckily we’ve got 15% off for you to sweeten the deal. Use THEREALTALL15 and let us know what you buy and how much you love it!
