Tall Girls Can't Wear What?? | Overruling Tall Girl Fashion Myths
Hey there! Welcome or welcome back! So glad you can make it. Just an FYI, I start school TOMORROW. Like LESS THAN 24 HOURS. Do I start crying?? Yes, I think that’s the most appropriate thing to do. I don’t know if I’m mentally prepared for this school year. I just got out of summer school, and yes, I know I did that to myself but it was Accounting. Who’s trying to take an Accounting class during the school year?
Anyways, today’s episode has NOTHING to do with Accounting as you can probably tell by the title. I asked you guys over on the ‘gram and Pinterest (btw you should totally follow on there @atallgirlspodcast) what you wanted me to talk about next and I came across an interesting comment saying: Heels and other clothes that people don’t associate with tall people.
And it had me thinking back to the days where I’d Google search ‘things tall girls should wear’ and ‘things tall girls shouldn’t wear’. And don’t even try to laugh at me on this one because if you’re a tall girl reading this, I’m sure you’ve done the same exact thing. Scrolling through fashion bloggers’ ad filled articles and online magazines and actually BELIEVING that tall women should be limited to certain clothes.
And today we’re gonna have a little chit-chat on this.
Heels
Okay, okay, there aren't really online sources saying that tall women shouldn’t wear heels but people in real life do say this. Way more than you can imagine. They like to make claims like ”yeah, you’ll be too tall.” Well, let me ask you this, a giraffe is the tallest animal in the world right? About 20 feet tall. Do you see them walking around the jungle insecure about being the tallest animal out there? Think about that. Do they try to make themselves shorter or do they eat their leaves and stomp on lions’ faces? The latter, right?
Girl, I’m gonna need that same energy from you.
Stop walking around the room, making yourself smaller just because you’re the tallest one there AND wearing heels on top of that. Go eat some food and stomp on people’s faces. People absolutely love to compare us to giraffes; it’s time to start embracing that energy!!
What about vertical stripes? And cropped pants? Tune in to my full episode below!
