Momma Told Me: There's no normal in fashion.
Trying to put on a sports bra like it's a medieval torture device, cramming one's feet into shoes that are knowingly a size too small because you can 'handle the pain for a little while,' and ripping out hems to lengthen trousers are some of the frustrations women of varying lengths and shapes have to content with. Just as a 5'4" woman would seek to increase her height with 4-5" heels, and a flat chested lady stuffs her bra, those endowed with a few extra length/inches/curves face their own fashion dilemmas. Unfortunately falling on the 'extra' side of the tracks is often much more expensive, time consuming, and even plain unfashionable. If you or a women you knows struggles with 'longer than average' feet, tall stem-like legs, or a few extra curves Long Tall Sally just might be the fashion lifesaver called for!
It's no secret on Momma Told Me that I was
plagued blessed with size 12 (US) feet. At age 9 the plight was real and I was forced by my mother to shop in the boys shoe department for all footwear. As I grew older I resorted to wearing flip flops everywhere because the experience of shopping in store for shoes in my size would nearly bring me to tears. Much like walking into a Victoria's Secret with a size 48 DD bust (no matter your waist size) shopping for shoes in store for me is wholly disappointing. Cute shoes everywhere I will never see in my size. Thank the shoe lords for
Barefoot Tess, a brand I have championed and purchased from for years, and one of the only brands specializing in women's shoes exclusively size 9+.
Well, recently Barefoot Tess merged with Long Tall Sally to become the globally recognized one-stop-destination for flattering clothing ans shoes for women 5'8" and above All of my favorite Barefoot Tess shoes are now sold through Long Tall Sally at one complete destination where I can put together the perfect outfit for my shape and size with no embarrassment, crazy measurements, or hassle. Even more exciting for the footwear challenged, Barefoot Tess now carries almost all their styles in sizing up to 15 US!
I recently pulled together some Spring color block fashions with a Red, White and Blue theme from some items I already had in my closet and some new Long Tall Sally finds. The
Textured Zip Cotton Mix Boyfriend Jacket in Klein Blue immediately caught my eye while browsing the new arrivals. With light venting in the back and an easy to wear cotton blend this jacket is the perfect accessory as we transition out of cooler days and into warmer nights. I especially love the added touch of the silver zipper detailing on the front pockets, adding just an extra hint of class.
For me, I noticed the LTS clothing tended to run a little loose (a size big) and found that the size 16 Boyfriend Jacket was a much better fit than the 18 pictured here. The length on the sleeves is built for a longer frame overall and my arms tend to run a little shorter than my legs in proportion. I paired my Brea Patent Leather Barefoot Tess pumps with a little red dress for a casual night on the town look and love how versatile this jacket is to style for dress or casual events.
While I normally gravitate towards gorgeous heels and strappy shoes with bright colors, I've been trying to avoid extended wear of heeled shoes since hiking in wedges last Fall (I know, I know, but this goes back to the shoe plight of a size 12US figure.) When I saw the new Barefoot Tess
Petunia Slip On Sneaker in Nude, I knew I had to have them. Not only did they have a thick rubber sole to withstand extended wear, but the insole and outer cushioning was ample for comfort. the polka dot print was also just too playful to pass up. These fit perfectly and were ever so comfortable with no breaking in required!
