This weeks Real Tall Finds is a mixture again of deals and what we actually bought over the last week, as well as what we wore! Sometimes you find items and they end up inspiring you to buy other items to create that magical cohesive wardrobe we’re all aspiring towards. That was exactly what happened when I got the most magical culottes from Long Tall Sally and happened upon the most perfect snakeskin print turtleneck! As we love to trade clothes, Caitlin wore the outfit to work after me and promptly realized she needed her own turtleneck, which led to us sharing a mainline win find with y’all! Kismet, if I’ve ever heard it.
Post coming soon on this romantic sweater that’s currently under $40 that would pair perfectly with that skirt! It does have more of a cropped fit, but bought in a size medium so might be longer if you size up!
Anyone else feeling that February slump? It might be due to January feeling like the length of three months, or it could also be due to me being on the second round of this cold. Likely, it’s a combination of both! But whatever the reason, I’m living for the few sunny days we’ve gotten here. We got hit with plenty of snow here finally but were blessed with some intense sun a day or two later. Driving to work in the morning is made all the easier when the sun is brightening your path. I know I’m not alone in that feeling! It’s also no man’s land for shopping right now unless you’ve been eyeing some pieces up for a long time. There are barely new drops (which is amazing for our wallets), but there are some great deep discounts on Winter season items yet.
We’re back today for the third installment of our Alloy collaboration, and thrilled to be talking jumpsuits! Jumpsuits have been an ongoing love of ours because they are true statement makers. They are one and done outfits like dresses, but allow you to move about more freely than a dress. With that part, they’ve already had a leg up (pun intended) over dresses. The part we hadn’t been doing right until now, is the comfort factor.
A lot of the jumpsuits I’ve loved over the years are magnificent creations. But like dresses, you typically can’t wait to yank it off at the end of the night and get comfy. Not the case with these Alloy jumpsuits! They’ve successfully married comfort and style for our maximum enjoyment. Made of jersey fabric, you can easily move about (aside from lifting your arms overhead with the off the shoulder cut).
We both are wearing a size large in the jumpsuits and find them to be true to size. The length is perfect for me at 6’4, I was even able to wear them with a heeled boot! Caitlin’s has plenty of space for her to add a pair of heels as well, so the length could easily work for someone taller. Despite them being a comfortable jersey fabric, you could wear them in a dressier setting depending on your jewelry and shoes. Already I’m envisioning wearing mine on date night, like Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day this week! Plus it comes in an even more versatile black option.
Caitlin’s jumpsuit takes the throne on versatility though. It’s got long sleeves and just has enough sass to show one shoulder for a slightly demure, yet seductive look. Throw a jacket over the top of it though and you can rock it while traveling. It’s great for a chic airport look and would make a very versatile addition while traveling. Especially if you like to pack in a carry on, where every inch of the bag counts. We don’t know anything about that though, we have been typical over packers. Point being, this jumpsuit helps us be our best selves. It also comes in Ivory, which would be incredible to wear as a bride to be for a shower or rehearsal or bachelorette party!
Plus they’re both really reasonably priced, which is one of the biggest considerations in our search for jumpsuits! We recognize that you’re not going to get the most wear out of a jumpsuit in your wardrobe despite highlighting the versatile options that come to our minds. Best part? We can knock 20% off of the price using REALTALL20 for your shopping pleasure! Let us know below, what are your favorite style jumpsuits to buy? Are you rocking only the fanciest options, or have you started to mix in some casual go-to’s as well? Have a great weekend y’all!
When we’re thinking of the most digestible, well-loved posts; roundups come to mind at the forefront! If you’re shopping at a specific store it’s the way you can see all the pieces in quick succession. We understand completely why people love try-on sessions at stores for that reason as well! While we don’t love to do try-on sessions (aka they don’t come as easy to us), after accumulating all of the incredible pieces from Amalli Talli, it seems like the smartest time to do a roundup for y’all while these pieces are on killer sale! So without further adieu, let’s get to the pieces and what we love about each!
Cowl Neck Sweatshirt
Who doesn’t need more athleisure in their lives?! It’s a necessity for us in our commute to and from the gym in Wisconsin winters, plus make a travel outfit look super chic and put together while still in actuality wearing sweats! We have it in size large and find it to be true to size. Link to Sweatshirt here.
Knit Cardigan in Grey/Mustard
Cardi’s are a staple in most women’s closets. I honestly don’t remember a time without one. These cardigans are the perfect slouchy fit you need. Gone are the matronly cardigans filling my closet in the past, these are all I need! The grey one is a size medium, but I will note I bought the mustard color in large and am happy with the fit as well. Link to Grey Cardi here.Link to Mustard Cardi here. **Hot tip wash it before you wear it to avoid lint!**
Mock Turtleneck Sweater
If you consult me (Jenilee) I’d advise you to fill your closet with turtleneck sweaters for the long cold Midwest winters. Caitlin is a bit more hesitant as she doesn’t like her neck feeling constricted, but even she adores Amalli Talli’s turtleneck fit. It’s foldable if you prefer a lower neckline, but I always keep it untucked, as I’m trying to maintain any body heat I have left! For sizing, we are wearing it in Medium and it has a relaxed fit. Link to Mock Turtleneck here.
Ribbed Duster Cardigan
You might have immediately wondered, do I really need two versions of a cardigan? Honestly, they aren’t even in the same category, they would definitely have different subtypes. This one reads a bit more business casual work appropriate. Don’t worry though, it can do both as evidenced by rocking it with a crop top. We’re wearing this in a size Medium as well and consider it true to size as well. In summary, you can justify buying both cardigans. Link to Ribbed Cardigan here.
Striped Sweater
I know a lot of women who love to rock some serious stripes with aplomb. All I can tell you, is I’m normally a reluctant stripe wearer. I’ll buy them on occasion and they end up gathering dust in the drawer. *UNTIL* this sweater came along. Now I happen to reach for it weekly. It might be that the colors are just ideal, or it might also be because it’s comprised of the softest thin material. Regardless of which reason, we’re going to have a long happy life together. Wearing a size medium, and it’s an oversized look but super easy to front tuck. Link to Striped Sweater here.
The Teddy Jacket
Teddy Jackets are one of those trends that you normally stare longingly at all the petite girls looking all adorable wrapped up in their cozy jackets. Amalli Talli saved us all when they designed their own tall girl version. Insanely soft on the outside, but also surprisingly warm to wear in a pinch as a real jacket (yes even in Wisconsin). We’re wearing a size large and we’d stick with sizing up as we like our jackets a bit more generous fitting in case of layers! Link to Teddy Jacket here.
Cable Knit Sweater (Dusty Purple)
Maybe red isn’t your favorite color or you appreciate a bit more visual interest on your sweaters. Cue the Cable Knit Sweater being more your cup of tea! Caitlin again is vibing with the neck fit on this sweater. It has the same fit/cut as the red mock neck, and we’re wearing it in a size medium. The only difference is the neckline is a thicker fold! All of their sweaters are classics, so you never will worry about getting rid of it in a few seasons. Link to Cable Knit Sweater here.
The Vernon Striped Jumpsuit
I have a terrible tendency to pick jumpsuits that are thin spaghetti straps or sleeveless. In theory, not the worst thing, but knowing myself and our weather, I will ALWAYS need an additional layer. Cue the Vernon jumpsuit stepping up to the plate. Amalli cut this in two lengths, which cover both Caitlin and I’s height difference. Plus they have the striking rust orange color or the classic navy blue. It is really comfortable plus it is easy to get on and off for bathroom breaks, which is one of the biggest reasons women don’t wear jumpsuits. Caitlin is wearing in a size Large and the Alli length (which is the shorter length). TTS Link to Rust Jumpsuit here.Link to Navy Jumpsuit here.
Favorite Crew Tank
Caitlin and I have long searched for great tanks for our work wardrobes above all else. If you’re trying to look semi-professional, typically the fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch to it. Therefore, if it’s not cut in the right length you’ll notice a lot easier. We’ve made do with our options up until this point when we again realized no more settling. No need to have droopy armpit holes because you sized up for length or gaping/hanging sizes that still won’t tuck into your pants. We’re both wearing a size Medium, but if you have a large bust then we’d maybe say size up! Link for Red Here. Link for Blue here.
V Neck Sweater
We didn’t get a chance to snag any pictures of this yet, but I bought it in a size small. I would say choose size on how you want it fit. I went for a more fitted look! It’s a super-thin sweater material and I love that all of their sweaters have no itch to them. Such an underrated quality! Link to V Neck Sweater here.
Lace Cami
Another one I recently snagged. I can’t tell you how many other camis I’ve ordered or tried on and had resigned myself to thinking they just were wrong on my body type. WELP – Amalli Talli proving me wrong once again. All you need to do (Jenilee) is stop buying ill-fitting clothing and your problems will be resolved! I bought this in size medium and although it’s a close cut on the hip, no pulling which would normally be the case and cause of me sizing up.

Today’s Real Tall Finds is partially themed! If you know Caitlin and I, you know we love a good theme or reason to dress festively. It brightens our day, and hopefully you’re with us. I know some people have bad feelings dredged up around Valentine’s Day, but we take it for the Hallmark holiday it is. Just another consumer driven holiday, so we make it what we want; which is an excuse to wear pink, red, or hearts! Tell us in the comments below how you deal with Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Picks
This second widget is comprised of all the items that Caitlin has been shopping for the last couple of weeks. She ending up liking it all and kept it. If you need any sizing recommendations, she’s happy to answer any questions on that. Also have to mention that ASOS is currently having a sale for an additional 25% off their already marked down dresses.
Caitlin’s Recent Purchases
That’s all for today, happy shopping and have a wonderful weekend! We’re excited to shoot some more pictures and test out some indoor areas.
We don’t splurge on getting manicures or pedicures very often, but the solid exception is when we’re going on a vacation. So being that I’ve already gone and come back, and Caitlin is going shortly, I felt like I had to go with her to get my nails done as well. Well, I also received a gift card for Christmas, so that made my choice a no brainer. We always feel like polished versions of ourselves after a good manicure. Your nails are shiny, chip-free, and it just feels like you have your life together!
Another thing that makes my life feel put together is a great pair of black jeggings. Alloy Apparel came through for us on this pair. We’re back today talking about our second post collaboration with them and this pair of pants I’ve been living in. You saw them on Caitlin last Friday in an ultra-cool girl leopard print. Think of this pair as your more professional option to wear endless ways. For this look, I paired it with a lace turtleneck and kept it monochrome with a matching velvet blazer. It makes me feel a little Victorian, a little boardroom conqueror.
I’m wearing them in a size 12, and as I mentioned in Caitlin’s post we both could have sized down. They have a roomy stretchy fit. There are multiple inseams as well, so no worrying about whether they have your inseam! They have between what I’d consider a mid-rise fit, below the belly button. It’s worth mentioning twice, how dang comfortable they are. They passed the airplane test. I sat on two cramped flights each for two hours and didn’t feel restricted at all (beyond not being able to lower my tray haha).
So we want to know, have you tried out Alloy yet? We’ve apparently been sleeping on them because they have some incredible tall girl pieces. Just wait until next week, we’re going to share two different jumpsuits that are so flattering AND comfortable. Typically we don’t think about comfort when we think about jumpsuits, we just worry about the length. Well, get excited, because these jumpsuits do it all, with ease!
Friendly reminder, the code for 20% off is realtall20. Their clothing is already really reasonable, but this certainly doesn’t hurt! You know we’re always on the hunt for a good deal, and we know you are too.
