Tall Dress for Spring or Summer
Here’s another darling tall dress perfect for warmer weather. It comes in beautiful polka dot prints and fun Hawaiian prints. Of course, I love the Hawaiian print dress. This dress has gotten rave reviews such as this one. “Super cute, vibrant color, perfect for my next trip to Hawaii. This silhouette is great for me because of the close fitting bodice and loose fitting skirt(I’m ever so slightly pear-shaped).” Available in tall sizes 6-18. $98

How to Appear Shorter
Lately, I have come across many online articles on ways to appear shorter. I personally don’t get it. Why not just accentuate the positive? But, for those of you tall people desperate to look shorter, here are my top 10 humorous suggestions that I found online of ways to make yourself appear shorter. Enjoy!
10. Mix light and dark shades. Pairing a dark shirt with light pants, or vice verse, will shorten your body. Avoid short shorts at all costs!
9. If you wear shirts that have stripes, wear them horizontally. Instead of looking taller, you will look more fat.
8. Kneel and strap your shoes to your knees. It’s a bit difficult to walk, but you will definitely look shorter.
7. Have Chuck Norris roundhouse kick your legs. You’ll lose like 6 inches off em.
6. Hmmm, maybe try hanging out with pro basketball players, they’ll make us look downright petite.
5. You might try looking in a trick mirror, bending your knees, trimming the bottoms of your feet, wearing horizontal striped shirts, or being persistent at sitting down.
4. To appear shorter, lower your pants down your waist so that they appear baggy around your ankles. Wear a long coat and let it hang open so that you seem less vertical. Carry bulky accessories and slouch your shoulders in.
3. A slouched stance will make you look shorter, not to mention insecure.
2. Make your surroundings bigger so you seem smaller. Buy large furniture, tall counter tops, use wide doorways, drive a truck and not a little car.
1. Just sit down.

Tall Shapewear
There has been so much buzz over the past couple of years about great underclothing products that help you look slimmer. The bummer for tall women, is that most of these products are not designed for in tall sizes. Today I found shapewear for tall women. Finally a designer that realizes that one size does not fit all! Donna Karen’s tall shapewear items are proportioned with longer seams allowing for a better fit. The following tall shapewear items are available at Nordstroms.
Look What I found on Sale at Nordstroms
Nordstoms has beautiful shoes and I love their shoes sales. They carry many women’s larger size shoes in all the hottest styles. I found this Pelle Moda ‘Fipe’ Peep Toe Kitten Heel Pumpin my size. Oh happy day! I love that that it has a slight heel of 1 3/4″ which is the perfect height for me. The antiqued crystal buckle gives this suede pump a bit of a dressier touch and brown is one of my favorite colors to wear with many of my suits.
