Transitory Dressing in Tall Maternity Friendly Leggings

It was super exciting to hear after sharing my pregnancy news how many of you are also expecting! Makes me feel like I’m not alone, stumbling through. Being 6’4 and pregnant is a little different than the average woman as many of you already have experienced. The bump is finally starting to show at just over halfway through. While this can be totally welcome for still fitting into your regular clothing for a longer time, it’s also disconcerting to be looking for your body to change and barely seeing much of anything for months! As I start showing, I’m on the hunt for tall maternity friendly leggings.

I made the joke on Instagram that it looked like I was visiting the buffet regularly for (I felt like) the longest time instead of having an “ideal” baby bump. I know, I know that ideal is not a thing but I think when you envision it in your mind it can be a bit of a let down of expectation vs reality. Just sharing a bit of the behind the scenes mindset shift that pregnancy has been for me. A lot of women look forward to this time, and I include myself in that but until your body is changing you don’t really know how you’ll react!

The biggest thing I’ve been grateful for as the changes have started is that I could continue to work out! It has kept me feeling like myself as I continue to sweat but also give myself grace as it gets a bit more difficult to move as easily as before. Secondarily and a nice part (if there was a nice part) of COVID is being home much more than usual. That just means I don’t have to fill my closet with a bunch of pieces for events that I might not get a ton of use out of.

Belly Belts

A favorite purchase so far has been my Belly Belts. I’ve been able to continue to wear my regular jeans with a longer sweater to cover that my pants are unzipped. Also a big shout out to being pregnant in the Winter months, very underrated so far haha. Click here for the link. If you’re just squeaking past being able to button up your jeans then these should prolong the life of them. They come in two lengths. So far I’ve been using the smaller belly band. I should be able to get away with another at least month or so before switching.

I think one of the more elusive pieces tall women search for through pregnancy are pants. Myself included in that. I bought a two pack of tall maternity leggings from ASOS. kept them because they were $13 but realistically they are a bit sheer. As I don’t have a ton of butt covering tops or sweaters I don’t know how much use I’ll get out of them. Plus they aren’t THAT stretchy either. Quite the glowing review, huh.

Tall Long and Curvy Leggings

As for leggings that have been my best friends, nothing changes for Tall Long and Curvy being champions in my closet! Chelsey’s leggings are like butter and have STILL been my go-to leggings during pregnancy. When we first tried TLC leggings out we went with size large. Since we’ve gone on and bought like every single color and multiples of colors as well, we’ve realized we could definitely wear size medium.

Tall Maternity Friendly Leggings

Having plenty of pairs of larges at this point is perfect for pregnancy. I highly recommend these tall maternity friendly leggings if you haven’t tried them already. PLUS, she’s been getting some samples of yoga type leggings to launch. You already know they are guaranteed to be just as incredible. The pairs we have (and are on the site) are all more workout style leggings. But no one will look at you twice if you have zero plans to workout either LOL.

Oh yea, and a little birdy let us try on some jean samples that will be launching in the future. Someone who makes good leggings knows how to pick some bomb jeans for our tall curvy bodies. Get those wallets prepped, that’s all we’re saying. Oh yea, and there will be a restock of the OG black leggings as well with two different lengths. You can thank us later when you’re living in them (like us).

Tall Sweater Weather

We all might have skipped over buying any summer clothing, because what exactly was the point this year?! However, as the temperatures have dropped and risen as Wisconsin weather tends to do during transition; I think we can all agree that there is still plenty of room in our closets for more tall sweaters. What this year needs is basically endless amounts of coziness and comfort. Exactly what well-fitting tall sweaters provide us.

So as we say goodbye to the last of the warm temperatures in Wisconsin, we wanted to share some favorite sweaters with you. Some we’ve already bought and have been wearing and remixing tons already and some are already added to cart and just watching the budget closely for when we can press purchase!

Even if you might not watch the trends closely, it’s inevitable you’ll get the gist of what is “in style” based off of social media or when you browse online. While we don’t live and die by following trends, we think it can be fun to add a key piece or two you feel strongly about to your closet. For me this year, I had been enjoying all the updated cardigans. I cleaned out my closet this year of my outdated cardigans. This was a perfect time to add new versions!

Cardigans

I added this black mainline win from Express and this tan big buttoned version from ASOS tall.

Amalli Talli

Caitlin and I both love a good statement sleeve, so when Amalli Talli released their first creation the Adelle sweater AND it was a beautiful green we both snatched it up. After consulting them via DM we both ordered a size medium for your sizing reference.

Amalli Talli also dropped a couple of other knits and we both fell for the Estes striped chenille sweater and pressed purchase ASAP. We also both went with Medium and this sweater has more of a relaxed fit with gorgeously long sleeves. We’ll be forever grateful for them making wrist covering sweaters as we face down another intense winter.

Sweater Dresses

We’d be remiss if we didn’t rope in some sweater dresses as well. Who doesn’t want to extend a cozy sweater down to envelope practically your entire body in warmth?! Well we found an amazing mainline win at Express in the form of this volume sleeve sweater dress. We couldn’t believe how long the sleeves were so now Caitlin, me AND our Mom all have it! I kept in a size large and Caitlin went with a medium for a better fitted look!

ASOS

As collar details are having a moment, I found this camel colored v neck sweater and was inspired to recreate a Pinterest look I loved with a button down shirt underneath. I love slouchier sweaters because you can wear them alone or if you want to play with layers they look great as well. Caitlin borrowed mine to recreate a look with her new Gingham Amalli button up shirt and next thing you know she had to have it for herself, haha!

Lastly, I just purchased a bunch of ASOS tall sweaters to see what I’d love! I think everyone needs this leopard print sweater. I’m forever hunting for red anything and this sweater fits the bill perfectly. Or you could go blush and look how freaking long these sleeves look! Classic styles always lure me in and pearl necklines are having a moment so had to grab this sweater too. If you live in warmer climates this blue sweater seems like a nice lighter weight option to add. Lastly, if you need a great cable knit 3/4 sleeve neutral, this sweater will be right up your alley!

As always, we are grateful if you choose to click any of our links! Not all of them are affiliates, but some are. We appreciate the small revenue it brings to keep our blog running when you choose to shop through them! Check out our other sweater posts here and here.

Tall Friendly Clothing at Express

If you’ve been hanging around our blog since the inception you know we don’t love to talk about mainline retailers. We prefer to get you news on tall businesses, not necessarily “tall friendly businesses.” However, we’d be lying if we ever said we only shop at tall size only shops. I think we’re all in agreement that although there are more options than ever, it’s still peanuts comparing to what the average size woman has access to. So today we’re sharing one of our favorite places to shop for tall friendly clothing at Express!

Express is probably also familiar to you already. A: they are a national retailer. B: if you’ve been around then you might remember that I used to work for them! This was after I was done playing college basketball before I graduated college! Another fun fact is Caitlin and I distinctly recall spending hours scrolling their clearance section for our first major purchase. We’d both tell you our ~~addiction~~ love for shopping was born of our success there!

So while we have had strike outs on their clothing for the obvious reasons of being much taller than average; on the whole we’ve continued to shop with them because a lot of their options are still a good fit! I think you’d be surprised if you don’t shop there already, how much tall friendly clothing you’ll find at Express. In particular their blouse section has been pretty unmatched for their variety of styles for our work wardrobes.

Your work apparel doesn’t have to feel boring! We used to feel unenthused about dressing when we started working in corporate America. Our wardrobes were borrowed from each other and/or our Mom, so not a lot of availability to express our personal styles (pun intended). As I worked at Express and utilized my discount, I got more and more joy out of dressing as I found the pieces I could feel confident and excited to wear.

Although Express does trendy pieces, and does them well; they excel at providing classic yet current work blouses. As a larger retailer that also allows them to provide a wider range of color choices as well. For a while I really went far and wide with snatching up different colors to get a rainbow of choices. As I’ve matured, I realize it’s ok to have color favorites! It makes mixing and matching much easier as well as creating a cohesive wardrobe.

So if you’ve felt like you can’t shop at a mainline retailer, we’re here to encourage you to still test them out. Our advice would be to maybe start with perusing their site online. We look closely at how the sleeves fit the model if we’re shopping for long sleeve options. Typically we like making a list of items of interest and then hit up the store for a try-on session. Obviously things are a bit differently currently with COVID. We haven’t been doing in store visits. But under normal circumstances we still love getting a chance to check out clothing in person.

If you’re down for it, you could just fill your cart and place a big try-on order at home. They have an easy return system that you can either bring back to the physical store near you or return/exchange by mail. One of the things we still look forward to is receiving packages in the mail and deciding which items to keep and which to return!

This post was basically inspired by doing a closet inventory and realizing what we wear the most. Hopefully it helps you some today or inspires you to step outside of your shopping box and check out a store you’ve admired but avoided. Good news for us and you is that their entire store is 50% off today! Click here to browse! As always we appreciate it greatly when you use our links. Look back on some of our other Express posts here, here, and here.
