I love Sundays. Especially sunny Sundays in Seattle that start with iced americanos on the deck of our local coffee shop and a walk through the Fremont Market. This morning I wore my Height Goddess skinny jeans, a 3/4 tee and animal print tank from JCrew (this tall tee would work, too!), and a scarf (similar) and cross body bag from H&M.

On another fun note, Scott and I are in the midst of some very fun DIY projects for the wedding. Here is Scott's latest creation: marquee letters! He built them from the ground up, and I'm in love (with both him AND the letters!). What a lucky girl I am.

Marquee Letters

Six weeks and counting until our engagement photos. I don't have to say it, but the outfit has to be JUST RIGHT. I'm looking for a brightly colored dress that is at least knee length (preferably a bit longer). We're using Scott's '58 Vespa in some of the pics so I've got to make sure the bits are covered when sitting... I found a mid-length dress in my favorite shade of green and styled it two ways. I'm leaning toward the coral cardigan as it's a little more feminine, but I do love the edginess (at least "edgy" for me) of the tall blazer and leopard loafers.

I found two more dresses I love - both from Shabby Apple. The Late Late and Red Queen.

Any advice?  Which is your favorite?

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?!?

I used this side table for two weeks while I waited for my new desk to arrive. Big girl, small table, two weeks. The others in my office are still getting a laugh out of it.

This is what I wear to work most days - skinny jeans (these are my new skinnies from Height Goddess - love!), silk tops, and embellished flats.  I'm lucky to be able to dress casually. But...next week is a different story. I'm flying to SLC to meet all my new colleagues, and I want to do it up a bit. I'm over the black pants and dress shirt combo that used to be my fall-back. I wanted to style professional outfits with a dash of personality. What do you wear on business?  Do you have a go-to style, or favorite store that sells tall professional clothes?
