March Break - Camo Option #1

I first saw Camo jeans at Zara and thought they would be loads of fun to wear, however, height is often NOT my clothing friend. They were far too short on me and I left wishing tall girls had more choice. Fast forward a year later and I found a pair of tall friendly camo pants online at The Gap. Thank you for your Tall section.

Pattern play is still my Achilles' heel so I'm taking it slow. I thought I would play with this pattern and do two posts using these pants as the anchor. March Break is in full swing in my house and next week is Toronto Fashion Week so I'm busy (along with everyone else). So I'm taking it nice and easy. I hope everyone else is enjoying their March Break.

I will be partnering with Sun Media during Toronto Fashion Week. We are still hammering out the schedule. Once I know all the details I'll let you know where I'll be and where you can follow me.

Maxi Dresses - LTS

I LOVE Maxi dresses. For me finding the right Maxi dress is like a treasure hunt because of the whole height thing but I did find one from (drum roll please)...Long Tall Sally!! As an aside they really need to change that name.

I think women of all shapes can wear maxi dresses, you just need to find the right fit. For my petite friends keep the lines simple, too much fabric or pattern it will overwhelm you and you don't want to look like you're playing dress up in mommy's clothes. For my big busted girls, pick a maxi dress with thick straps so you can wear a good supportive bra for your friends. For my tall sisters - maxi dresses are supposed to be long, not that awkward no man's land around mid calf, let's aim for the ankles! Mine hits the ground...it hits the fricken ground people!! Don't judge me on my excitement, this is a big deal, a very big deal for giants like me.

Anyway here are the pictures, there are a lot because it was very windy and hard to get a good shot plus I wanted to show you how difficult this whole fashion blogging is. See how dedicated I am. A little shout out to my baby sister Rosie for taking the photos and my daughter who was the assistant on this shoot (my daughter quit pretty early on because she was so bored, but at least she tried).

Dress - LTS (name change accomplished); Sandals - Michael Michael Kors; Bracelets - Coach, Gifted; Necklace - Costco (yes, Costco, check it out and get back to me); Earrings - Gifted

This dress would also look great with a long necklace, it would probably even look better with a long necklace.
