Wedding planning.  Weekly business trips as a result of company acquisition.  Winter quarter wrap-up in the fashion program.  Training for a half marathon.  SO STRESSED OUT!  Life has gotten crazy-busy, and not in the good way that keeps me on my toes.  In the fundamentally-exhausted way that puts me off my game.  But...today is awesome!  Want to know why?  Our wedding stamp arrived!!!!  I sent a picture of Scott and I, then the lilimandrill shop on etsy carved a personalized stamp.  What do you think?

Tallwater March 1 2012

 Everything I’m wearing in this photo is tall-sized.  Tall coat from JCrew, tall top from Long Tall Sally, and tall jeans from TallWater (highly recommended!).  I don’t mean to state the obvious, but honestly, wearing clothes made for my tall frame feels amazing.  Sleeves that cover my wrists?  Good shoulder width?  A rise that covers my my bum?  Yes, please!  Pretty please?

 Bethany of Long Leggy.Lovin it! started a “Shopping Tall Challenge” (check out her story here).  Wearing tall clothes feels so good that I might follow her lead.  My fear? It’s almost spring, Nordstrom and Anthro are releasing new dresses, and I’m really going to want them.  I’m not sure I can hold out.  So my version of Bethany’s challenge might be closer to “Buy Tall Shirts, Pants, and Coats, but Anything Else is Fair, Average-Size Game.”  That’s not cheating, right?  Right?!?
