My therapist recommended I walk outside more as I grieve the recent loss of my mom.

When it was time to pay for my mom’s funeral, the credit card I had in my wallet was my @bananarepublic Mastercard. I’ve had this card for decades because over the years, most of our family have worn some Gap brand. From onesies to tuxedos, we’ve updated our wardrobes with points.

And I got a serious chunk of points for charging my mom’s funeral expenses on my Banana card.

I decided to use them to buy clothes for winter outdoor walking. Nothing motivates me more than a chance to put together a cute outfit. This cute look is from @athleta, one of the few activewear brands that fits both my size and my style.

My Athleta purchase arrived on my doorstep and that day, a neighbor reached out, inviting me to join a group of women in our community who were supporting, not competing, to move 100k. I immediately said yes and signed up. 

This past week I hit 100k. And this past week week it has been two months she has been gone. I’m still going 💪 

Wearing XL. For reference I’m 5’3” and usually wear a size 14.

Normalizing the normal everyday outfit…

It was a day of running errands, running to the office, and then running into friends. It rained off and on so I wanted shoes for potential puddles and a coat that wouldn’t soak through but also keep me warm.

The sweater is @universalstandard; I bought it thinking it was a bold purple but the color was off on the site and I got plum. But I think I like this better. I’m wearing a S. This is my second of this cardigan, it is super soft, dense, and holds up to washing. My other one I got a year ago and still wear all the time.

The jeans are @oldnavy and while they’re not perfect and stretch out throughout the day they were around $18 and I like the wash and weight of the denim. I’m wearing a 14 Short.

The boots are old Docs, the coat I got at @talbotsofficial last winter, and the bag is @maxwellscottuk and I’ve had for almost a decade. Earrings are @_jennybird, necklace is @gorjana. 

Disclosure: the coat was gifted last year but remains a favorite. The necklace was also gifted about a year ago but I keep wearing because I like it and it has held up quality-wise. The rest I bought.

Counteract the gray days with cozy colorful clothes! 🌈 This cashmere sweater set is the prettiest teal and I loved how it looked with this candy pink Chesterfield coat. All are from @anntaylor one of my favorite places to shop because Ann has petites over a size 12. Also all of these items are on sale!

While I did receive these clothes as a gift from Ann Taylor I am under no obligation to share with you. This is what I wore to work and when I saw these colors against the green of my building door I had to prop up my phone and capture the color combo!

This sweater is a classic and with the skirt is created a dress effect you can style with tall boots, ankle boots and tights, or dress down with sneakers. I linked to other pieces in this color that would also look dreamy with this skirt, as well as other gorgeous colorful coats.

For reference I am wearing the coat in XL petite and the sweater set in L. I am 5’3” and usually wear a 14/16

Just got back from a 4-night getaway with my sister @debbiefaye78 at @curacaomarriottbeachresort. It was a last-minute planned trip that ended up being perfect. We weren’t ready to celebrate Thanksgiving without our mom and this escape what just what our hearts needed. 

I’ll be sharing more once I finally unpack my suitcase and organize my photos and thoughts; but I couldn’t not share this picture from yesterday morning. Debbie and I got up early to enjoy some of the day at the resort before flying home to DC. We had the infinity pool to ourselves, finished our books, and relaxed before a long day of travel. 🌴

It’s hard when you’re petite and most models aren’t; you have no idea how clothes, especially jeans will fit. To promote @universalstandard’s Denim Drive sale, the company sent me two pairs of jeans of my choice. And I chose to make this video to show how they fit on my 5’3” body. I am usually a 14/32 in jeans but at Universal Standard I wear a 12 because they’re super stretchy and generously sized. 

With jeans as low as $35 in sizes 00-40, this is a sale not to be missed. And use code INFS-BFALISON10 for an additional 10% off sitewide!

The Farrah Flare is a favorite because at my height, most flare jeans will lose what makes them special once hemmed. At a 30” inseam these are great with low heels or lug soles.

The Etta is a straight jean with a vintage fit. If in doubt size down. They’re also super stretchy and the 28” inseam (they also come in 31”) works with my boots and sneakers.

While I was provided the apparel in this Reel for free, I was not paid or contracted to create this content. Consider it a PSA for my fellow shorties shopping this fab denim sale!

Thanks to @talbotsofficial I’m ready for the holidays! #AD

I love Talbots for holiday fashion and this season’s new arrivals do not disappoint. And for Black Friday the entire site is 40% off with free shipping on orders $150+. Until noon, you also receive 50% off 1 regular price item!

I ordered pieces from the Talbots Holiday Collection and found great quality, great style, and great versatility. How cute is the Breton stripe bateau neck with the removable feather cuffs? The metallic plaid patio skirt is so fun, and these two dresses can glam up or dress down with a change of footwear and bag. For reference, I am wearing everything in either XL or 16 petite.

The ivory cords are also Talbots; the black trousers are from last year’s Talbots Holiday Collection showing how Talbots has lasting style. I’ve linked to exact or very similar in my LTK shop.

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

You’re never too old for a Rory Gilmore sweater… this cotton fisherman sweater is from @llbean and inspired by @marielle.elizabeth I shopped the men’s department for a better size range. The influencer influenced the influencer!

The jeans are @landsend I got last year and I’m glad they brought them back this year in several washes, inseam lengths, and plus sizes. If in doubt, size down. They will shrink in length slightly but not anywhere else, they’re super comfy and stretchy but don’t stretch out. 

Kept the collegiate vibe going with a trucker cap, HOKAs, and my trusty commuter bag for years: the large @dagnedover Dakota backpack!

The 17 Best Plus Size Tall Clothing Retailers

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

the best plus size tall clothing retailers for women's apparel - a list by Wardrobe Oxygen, a destination for real life style advice for grown women.

I have had several readers over the year ask me for the best plus size tall clothing retailers. It is hard to find apparel in the right length and fit, but even harder when you wear plus sizes. Below I share the best plus size tall clothing retailers and brands that make plus apparel for women in long lengths. The list is in alphabetical order. With each I share their size range and details on the company's shipping and return policies.

This article on the best plus size tall clothing retailers was originally published in 2014 but has been updated to feature those retailers still in business, the new retailers on the scene, and feedback when available.

Some tall looks available at Alloy Apparel

Alloy Apparel

Alloy Apparel is one of the few retailers from my original 2014 review of the best plus size tall retailers that is still in business offering trendy and wallet-friendly tall apparel. From suits to skirts, jumpsuits to jeans, Alloy has a pretty extensive range of apparel in tall and long length fits. However, Alloy Apparel is now only available up to a US size 20 (waist of 37″ and hip of 45″).

Alloy Apparel has extensive customer reviews which helps you figure out which styles may be best for you, and what size to purchase. Alloy Apparel offers free shipping on orders of $100+, returns within 30 days, and an interactive return site that provides mailing labels for a $6.95 fee.

Some tall pants available at Avenue

Avenue

Avenue carries tall fit pants in sizes 14-32. The inseam length of Avenue pants depends on the style; some were only 1″ longer than the standard length, others were 3″ longer. I saw inseams up to 34″ in length. Avenue offers tall styles ranging from casual knit pull-on pants to trousers appropriate for the office and dressier locations.

Avenue has a flat rate of $7.95 for shipping, but it's free if you spend $100+. Avenue uses Happy Returns, which makes it free to return to a Happy Returns location or $5.95 if you use their mailing label. Returns have a 90-day window.

Some looks available in tall fits from Eloquii

Eloquii

When I originally wrote this review of the best plus size long retailers, I included Eloquii, which just launched their Kady pant which came in three lengths. The Kady Pant now comes in three lengths as well as three fits, and an amazing range of colors and the occasional prints.

Eloquii has extended their pants and jeans collection and several styles are now also available in long lengths! Each style shares the inseam (usually 2″ longer than the standard length) and Eloquii apparel is available in sizes 12-28. Eloquii offers free standard shipping on orders $125+ and within 30 days offers free exchanges and $5 return labels.

eshakti review
Just an example of looks you can get from eShakti designed for your unique self

eShakti

Honestly, I would write an entire post about eShakti is the best destination for plus size tall apparel but I know folks like options. But really, eShakti is so great for beautiful fashion in sizes 0-36 available to order based on your height or your custom measurements. You can also customize most any piece with a different neckline, sleeves, and more. eShakti has only become more reliable with more extensive of apparel selection since I last updated this review plus they have a fit guarantee.

eShatki is known for dresses, but the retailer carries denim, pants, skirts, tops, and jumpsuits as well. Shipping starts at $9.95 and goes up depending on the cost of your order. Returns are super easy within 30 days with the shipping label included with your purchase.

good american
Some of the long length plus jeans available at Good American

Good American

Good American offers a few styles of their denim in long lengths (33″-35″ inseam dependant on style) and they are available up to size 24. Do note, I find the larger sizes and longer lengths seem to go out of stock faster than other sizes.

Good American is B-corp certified. Good American offers free shipping on orders $125+ and returns need to be made within 21 days. Good American works with Happy Returns ($2.99) and regular mail ($7.99).

jessica london
Tall plus options available at Jessica London

Jessica London

Jessica London used to carry much more tall plus size fashion, but they still offer a few looks of pants, jeans and suiting in tall plus sizes up to 4X which is equal to a 34/36 with an inseam up to 35″. Jessica London is the same site as other plus retailers like Catherine's, Roamans, Woman Within, Ellos, and OneStopPlus and you can shop from all these sites and have your purchases in one shopping cart.

Shipping starts at $6.99 and increases based on how much you spend. Returns have a 60-day window and you receive a prepaid shipping label ($10.99) for easy returns.

plus size tall fashion

J.Jill

J.JIll has one of the most extensive size ranges for women's apparel, offering every look in XS-4X. However, their tall looks only go up to 18T; I have linked to all their tall options at this link.

Shipping is $9.85 but free on orders of $150+. Returns have a 90-day window and you can return either to a local J.Jill store or via prepaid shipping label ($8.95)

tall plus sizes lands end
Some tall options available at Lands' End

Lands’ End

When I originally wrote this article, Lands' End was a great destination for tall plus size fashion. Lands' End has an entire department of wardrobe basics, cute dresses, and swimwear in tall plus sizes. Now when you go to Lands' End, the only plus size tall options they have are swimwear. However, it's hard to find a long torso swimsuit, especially in plus sizes, and it's good to know Lands' End is still available for such items.

Lands' End offers their Misses collection up to size 18 and many pieces are available in tall sizing. Lands' End regularly has shipping and sale promotions; it's worth getting on their email list. Their standard shipping rate is free on orders $99+ and they offer free returns on items sent back within 90 days.

lane bryant long lengths
Some looks available in long lengths from Lane Bryant

Lane Bryant

Lane Bryant removed Long/Tall from their menu, but they still offer a range of pants and jeans in long lengths which are 3″ longer than regular, and some styles come in Extra Long which is an additional 2″ to the inseam (averaging 34″ depending on style of garment). Lane Bryant offers sizes 10-40, but not every garment is available in that extensive of a size range.

Lane Bryant offers a Ship to Store option where you have anything online shipped to your closest store for no fee. Shipping to a different location will cost $7.95. Returns within 45 days are free in-store or through their interactive site, you can pay $5.95 for a return label.

long tall sally 2022
Some looks available at Long Tall Sally

Long Tall Sally

In June of 2020, Long Tall Sally said they'd be closing after over 40 years of catering to a taller clientele. Luckily, Long Tall Sally was bought by AK Retail Holdings a couple of months later and is still available online offering up to a US size 28 and up to 38″ inseam. If you desire larger-sized shoes, Long Tall Sally also offers footwear up to size 13.

Long Tall Sally continues to be the best of the plus size tall clothing retailers, offering jeans, outerwear, dresses, swimwear and more cut specifically for a tall figure. Delivery prices are determined at checkout and since this is a UK-based company, returns will be your responsibility to pay and send back.

Some looks available at New York & Company

New York & Company

A lot of retailers keep their tall options in neutrals – black, gray, navy, maybe beige. If you desire color, New York & Company offers tall pants, tops, dresses, and jumpsuits in fabulous shades and bold prints available up to size 20T.

Shipping is $5.99 or free for purchases over $50. Returns have a 45-day window and the company provides a $6.95 shipping label with orders.

nydj tall lengths
While not extensive, NYDJ does offer plus size pants with a 33″ inseam

NYDJ

In the past, NYDJ had an extensive tall plus size collection offering inseams up to 35″. NYDJ carries a few styles of jeans in 16 and 18 Tall and they carry one style of pant in tall up to size 28. NYDJ offers apparel up to a size 28W. I'd keep checking NYDJ; they may have more options in coming seasons.

NYDJ offers free standard shipping on all orders and free returns and exchanges within 30 days.

OLD NAVY PLUS SIZE TALL
Some of the tall options available at Old Navy

Old Navy

When I originally wrote this post about plus size tall clothing retailers, I said Old Navy was a great destination because they had plus size tall in tops, dresses, bottoms, and activewear. Even though Old Navy increased their size range to 30, they reduced their plus size tall options. At the time of writing this, tall is only offered up to XXL in tops and 20 in bottoms, a handful of basic dresses, with every other apparel category only available in Misses sizing (all linked here).

Old Navy offers a $5 flat shipping fee and free shipping for members of their free program. Returns must be made within 30 days to an Old Navy store or online (returns at this time are free).

penningtons canada
Some tall length options available at Canadian retailer Penningtons

Penningtons

Penningtons offers plus size apparel in sizes 14 to 32 and has a range of pants, leggings, and jeans available in tall fit with a longer inseam (it varies depending on style, but most are a 35″ inseam).

I hesitated to share Penningtons because it is a Canadian company and only ships to Canada, but I know there are many Wardrobe Oxygen readers who live in Canada and have been frustrated by how many US retailers have left their country or made shipping difficult or impossible. Penningtons offers an $8.95 flat rate for shipping, returns within 30 days which are free by mail or in-store.

does spanx make tall sizes
Some of the looks available from Spanx available in plus size tall

Spanx

Spanx has extended their apparel and offers a range of pants and jumpsuits in tall fits up to size 3X which is equal to a 26/28. I have had a lot of success with Spanx apparel for quality and fit. You can find all their plus tall options from Spanx at this link.

Spanx offers free shipping and free returns. I have made purchases from Spanx and found the entire process very easy and received my return money back quite quickly. I find the Spanx website has the best selection of styles as well as sizes.

torrid tall jeans plus size
Some styles from Torrid available in Tall and Extra Tall sizing

Torrid

Torrid is known for trendy, youthful fashion in plus sizes, but they also have great wardrobe staples in sizes 10-30. Torrid offers a selection of Tall jeans that are 2″ longer than their standard length, as well as Extra Tall jeans that have an addition 2″ length on top of the Tall option.

Torrid has a $6.00 flat rate for shipping. Returns are free within 60 days in Torrid stores and free for those who join their VIP program. For everyone else, returns are $6.00.

I know this list of plus size tall clothing retailers isn't exhaustive but I hope you find it a good resource. And if you know of any retailers I missed, do share in the comments to help the fellow tall members of the Wardrobe Oxygen community!

      I fully agree, and every time I could find images on plus sized women, I used them in this post. It’s ridiculous that over half the female population of the United States wears plus sizes yet brands won’t make the effort to showcase their clothing on a relatable-sized model.

    Thanks so much for this post, Allie. I really appreciate you doing it. It’s such a sad picture, though. Even retailers who were doing tall/plus a few years ago aren’t anymore, or are doing less and less. As the range of our bodies gets larger, the range we’re offered in sizes gets smaller. It’s infuriating.

    That said, a couple of other places I can sometimes buy tall plus sized stuff:
    1. Eddie Bauer: carries Tall XXL in some items, which is about a size 18-20
    2. Chico’s: some size 4. (XXL/20) come in Tall
    3. The Gap: some styles go up to 20T
    4. Universal Standard: a few styles of pants and jeans come in long inseams

      I second the J Jill recommendation, although it’s best to be near a store, as they don’t offer free shipping or returns, and the sizing is hit or miss.

      Also, I recommend Victorias Secret “best-loved yoga pants” for tall women — there are multiple inseam options and they’re super comfortable. I wear them year-round as my basic black pants.

    Jessica London, via OneStopPlus! Not just tall plus pants but also tall plus entire suits, wool coats, etc. Sizes usually up to 26W and sometimes a bit higher. I’ve been pretty happy with them.

    Also seconding Lands End.

    Also remember that a good tailor is your best friend! For a lot of my slacks and pant suits the tailors at Nordstroms will let all of the length of the pants down, and then they add a little bit of ribbon or lace and use that to fasten the hem. I’m not sure how to explain it better but you can’t see the ribbon or lace and it makes pants without a lot of extra material in the hem work for me. My local tailor does this also. Occassionally it comes undone so maybe once a year I have to take them in but without this trick it would be so much harder to find slacks!

          When I did my original research I could only find up to 18 by going to their tall section, then I searched pants and then by size and got up to 20, but then searching specific pieces I could find 30. Gosh they need to better plot out their site, thanks so much for sharing this, I’ve updated the post 🙂

Just got back from a 4-night getaway with my sister @debbiefaye78 at @curacaomarriottbeachresort. It was a last-minute planned trip that ended up being perfect. We weren’t ready to celebrate Thanksgiving without our mom and this escape what just what our hearts needed. 

I’ll be sharing more once I finally unpack my suitcase and organize my photos and thoughts; but I couldn’t not share this picture from yesterday morning. Debbie and I got up early to enjoy some of the day at the resort before flying home to DC. We had the infinity pool to ourselves, finished our books, and relaxed before a long day of travel. 🌴

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

You’re never too old for a Rory Gilmore sweater… this cotton fisherman sweater is from @llbean and inspired by @marielle.elizabeth I shopped the men’s department for a better size range. The influencer influenced the influencer!

The jeans are @landsend I got last year and I’m glad they brought them back this year in several washes, inseam lengths, and plus sizes. If in doubt, size down. They will shrink in length slightly but not anywhere else, they’re super comfy and stretchy but don’t stretch out. 

Kept the collegiate vibe going with a trucker cap, HOKAs, and my trusty commuter bag for years: the large @dagnedover Dakota backpack!

My husband has a special backpack he fills with weight to wear while hiking; it’s called rucking. I wear a @dagnedover Dakota and fill it with my laptop, my iPad, a full water bottle, and my purse and walk to work; it’s called commuting. 💁🏻‍♀️

But seriously, I’ve had this backpack for five years. It has been shoved under plane seats, in overstuffed car trunks, under feet in the passenger seat. I’ve worn it as I’ve walked miles in major cities and from my house to my town center. My daughter also has a Dagne Dakota; it survived middle school and continues to work through camping, sleepovers, and road trips. It’s genially designed, comfortable, and can take a beating and still look great.

As for the rest of the look, the vest (XL) is a new purchase from @athleta; the Rainier tights (L) are also Athleta but two years old. The purple top is @nike and about a decade old. Hat is @llbean and it’s on sale for less than $15. And my trusty @hoka sneakers that have had their own set of adventures.

Another day of early voting for our city election, another outfit I wore as an election judge! 🗳️

I got this sweater set from @mmlafleur last spring and it continues to be a favorite. The color and popcorn stitch makes it wearable three seasons of the year. I’ve styled it with gold heels and dramatic gold earrings, with sneakers and a crossbody belt bag, and more than once with knee-high boots and a scarf at my throat. The color works with brown and black boots, the skirt silhouette and length with heels and flats. These brown riding boots are from @duoboots and almost a decade old. The scarf belonged to my dad; I have a feeling it was styled with a leisure suit back in the day!

I may have been more dressed up than other election judges but I think seeing democracy in action is a cause to celebrate! 🇺🇸

Early voting poll worker style 🗳️

I’ve been an election judge (AKA poll worker) for several years but this year I decided to take it a step further and join my city’s Board of Elections. I’m passionate about fair and accessible elections for all. The Board is acting as election judges for early voting so it’s great to use my previous experience on a city level!

I believe voting is a special occasion and I dressed the part. The puff sleeve sweater and pants are from @anntaylor; these pants are the same ones from the suit I wore earlier this week. I added a beloved @hermes scarf as a belt and silver hoops (they belonged to my mom) as a hint of shine.

If your area is having an election this coming week; I implore you to vote. Your voice deserves to be heard. And please ensure your neighbors know of the election and where to vote. 🇺🇸

Always fun to see my name in lights! 💡 I was a panelist at the annual @jaofcentralmd Leading Ladies event that connects local high schoolers with women in business. My panel was on using social media for promoting one’s business or personal brand. Along with other social media experts, we guided students and adults on how to create compelling and engaging social content and together created content for the conference’s feed. It was fun and I loved being able to share my almost two decades of personal and professional experience!

The dress code for the conference was business professional and since the event’s theme color was pink, they encouraged us to wear the color. 

This @anntaylor suit has been a favorite since late summer. I’ve dressed it down with a white tank and sneakers and glammed it up with a silk cami and gold heeled sandals. I love how Ann Taylor has petite suiting up to size 16; I know I’m not the only short curvy girl who desires suits and professional attire!

For this event I chose a berry-colored microfiber tank from @lovechicos. I own several of these tanks; they wear like iron and the tight weave and subtle shine make them great shells under suits. 

The look fit the theme but was also comfortable. I was glad to share my expertise and encourage others to see how they can donate their time and knowledge to a local @juniorachievementusa #JALeadingLadies #JALeadingLadies2023 #JACMD #JuniorAchievment

Sharing this from my #iPadOS17 thanks to @apple! A bit belated with all that has been going on lately but I’m really enjoying using an iPad to improve how I work, stay organized, and find new ways to be creative. Can I just say that editing video on an iPad instead of a phone is a game changer!

Recently, I attended an event at the gorgeous Apple Carnegie Library hosted by @flourishplanner_ to learn ways to make the most of #iOS17 and it was awesome. I brought my new iPad and learned about the new wallpaper, stickers, and organizing tools.

As for my look, the dress is from @bananarepublic’s summer collection. Kept it comfy with a pair of Samba sneakers and held down the volume of the dress with my black recycled leather @ganni crossbody. Added an old @_jennybird link necklace and a silver cuff I’ve had since the ‘90s.

I love an excuse to dress up, especially if it’s for a good cause! This weekend was the @thenewdealcafe Masquer-AID fundraiser to support this independent cafe, art gallery, and live music venue in @cityofgreenbelt.

My family and I have loved going to The New Deal Cafe for all these years. Grabbing coffee with friends, having a meal, seeing an amazing band, participating in an open mic or one of their Reel and Meal events. So @debbiefaye78, our mom, and I got tickets and even chipped in for a plaque from us “Ashpes Girls.” 

Our mom passed before she could attend the event; we asked our like a sister best friend @shellymingram to join us in her place and we had a great time, dancing all night as our mom would have, connecting with neighbors, and supporting a local business we all love so much.

As for the outfit, the dress is @ronnykobo the bag is @ganni and I borrowed both from @renttherunway The shoes I’ve had for years and the gold metal mask I found on Amazon and liked how it could mold to my face and not put pressure on my still-healing eye.

And I know y’all will ask because I received so many DMs this weekend when I shared this event in my Stories… my sister’s dress is from @eshakti she bought it a few years ago and it’s even more gorgeous in person!

The biggest fashion trend this fall is a return to classics. For decades I have turned to @talbotsofficial for quality classics with style.  This season, Talbots has a fantastic range of pants to update the wardrobe. 

I love how these @talbotsofficial ivory stretch corduroy straight leg pants elevate closet classics! Available in Misses, Petite, Plus, Plus Petite, Curvy, and in 10 colors, these cords are a chic alternative to jeans and just as easy care! I can run errands and have a bit of quiet time with an ebook and a coffee with comfort and style.
