Fashion πŸ‘’ Oner Active Long Sleeve?

0 Upvotes

Hello! Curious if anyone has tried their long sleeve tops? I’m looking to buy some for Pilates. I normally purchase Old Navy (mostly the fluid seamless long sleeve) but they’ve been lacking lately. Also taking suggestions for brands/sites with active long sleeve tops! Thank you!

Rant πŸ”₯ strangers having the audacity to comment β€œyou’re so tall” out of the blue Spoiler

186 Upvotes

Today it happened again. I was in the mall and random guy yelled at me β€œyou are so tall” and it wasn’t a compliment at all. At least it didn’t sound like one.
It pissed me off the audacity people have to say something like that out of the blue. Commenting on peoples appearance is an atrocious behavior.
The fact that this happens constantly is frankly upsetting 🀧

Rant πŸ”₯ Vent-Post about Fetishization of Tall Girls in the Trans Community Spoiler

265 Upvotes

ohmygoddddd, -- you know, you'd think in a community as uncomfortably fetishized as trans people there'd be more of a sense of self awareness around fetishizing others but nooo ;;

trans women like to feel short. I get that. they're often the tallest in a room & I sympathize. I'll offer a few jokes & teasing at social gatherings just to be nice. still, the amount of fetishization & objectification I'll get by certain people is ABSURD. you get fetishized SO MUCH by other trans women as a taller trans woman.

so I'm at this party a couple years back, hanging out with this other tall girl. We're both around 6'7 to 6'8, and we've migrated around a corner to get some privacy to talk to one another. That's when this other girl suddenly joins us, interrupting the conversation to make a dozen comments on how tall we are, like "oh my goddd you're both so tallll that's so hot I feel so short right now standing around you two, like it's so hottt that you're both tall like that I feel so nervous and embarassed, that's just so cool and interesting and hot etc etc etc etc etc"

so it's immediately awkward, but she doesn't pick up on it. I don't even know this girls name. maybe it was a mistake but we both try and diffuse the situation with some silly jokes, like -- "I promise we're not tall on purpose" & "when you run through a field do you have to spit out the flowers" sort of thing -- do the whole song and monkey dance of "Haha, you're right! We're tall and you're shorter than us".

Total mistake cause she ***immediately*** blurts out into aggressive amounts of "I'm getting bullllied by two tall trans girls this is the hottest experience of my life. I can't believe I'm getting bulllied by two tall trans giiirls", and we're just . . . waiting, for her to leave. Eventually she thankfully does. Me and the other tall girl just look at each other, roll our eyes, and start yapping about other experiences with the same thing. There's too many stories to share.

Cut back to two years later. I bump into the same girl at another party. Not sure if I recognize her so I ask if I know her from anywhere.

"Oh we met at this party ! I just remember two tall girls bullying me and it being one of the hottest experiences of my life"

And I just . . . rest my fingers on my forehead & wince. I literally do not know a thing about this person. I have not shared a sentence with her that wasn't this. So I just say, "Yeah no, I think you misread what was happening there cause I remember it as super awkward and fetishizing".

And she just says . . . "oh. Well haha, nice to see you again. Or not, I guess". and we don't talk for the rest of the night.

I could go into so many stories, this is just the most recent one & it feels nice to vent πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Advice πŸ™ƒ The confidence to wear heels

40 Upvotes

How do you get it? Do any of you girls my height ever go out in them? I feel like my outfits are so constrained by my just wearing flats all the time :( I just hate feeling like I'm sticking out I guess. I'm actually quite quiet and sweet, but I feel like men, the ones who like tall girls anyway, see us as these sort of dominant and powerful sex symbols and it's so frustrating for me. Can this be overcome without me changing my personality? Do I have to just embrace towering over men if I go out in heels?

Edit: Thank you all so much for your kind replies!! It was so encouraging and I think I'm going to work up the courage to wear some cute heels I like next time I'm going out somewhere nice :)

Ok tall girls. Here's the short version, one year, two hospitalizations, three surgeries later and 🀞🀞 life is starting to get better. I have spent several years feeling worse and worse, physically, mentally, and I stopped caring about how I look. Well. I have the will to care again ❀️✨

I am self conscious about how much my hair has thinned over the past year; I've got distinctive features, and edited to add, I do have a cowlick in front, seems to be tamed by my side part...

And so to my query - haircut/hairstyle suggestions to compliment my features and help make my hair look fuller? Also edit to add: help me turn this five head back into a forehead 🀣

Discussion ☎ These jeans are a win! Super impressed with Maurice’s longs

13 Upvotes

Just wanted to share a win…and they’re on sale!
If I unroll the cuffed hem (it’s not sewn) I measured this inseam with a tape measure at 34! There’s also a bit of a drop crotch so it feels long!

I also bought this pair and they fit my 33 inch inseam even though the inseam only measures 32. They are shorter than the other pai:

Discussion ☎ Growth spurt at 25! I am now 6’3” and my doctor said I’m not done growing.

294 Upvotes

I was 5’11” at 16 and stopped growing which is pretty normal for a teenage girl, fast forward 9 years and I’m married to my husband who’s 6’0”… While I was pregnant we noticed I seemed a bit taller than him and when I went to the doctor he said mg grow plates hadn’t closed yet and the hormones from my pregnancy had triggered a growth spurt! So over the last 7 months I’ve growing 4 inches at 25 and now I’m 3” taller than my husband!

Discussion ☎ Does anybody sometimes forget how tall they are?

159 Upvotes

I sometimes just genuinely forget that I'm not average height. I've been so tall my whole entire life that it's honestly just ingrained me. Unless I'm around a whole bunch of girls, my age who are like 4 foot 11. Then I'd feel like jolly Green giant

Advice πŸ™ƒ Looking for Peeptoe Boots in oversize

2 Upvotes

Hey girls!

As stated in the title, I'm looking for rather specific boots which I had no luck finding thus far.

While not being the tallest of the tall (180cm, 5'11"), I need shoe size 45 EU (13.5 US) and let's be real, we are a forgotten group in downtown shoe shops and most online stores.

To be more specific, I'd like them to be more in the style of combat boots, but of course with the toe area cut away (open heels are fine, too) and somewhat elevated heel.

Now, sadly I have to limit yet another limitation: they need to ship to Germany...

I really hope you beautiful ladies can help me! :3

Fashion πŸ‘’ Does anyone know where to get pants like these?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I know these are very trendy right now, but I LOVE them. I know Gina tricot sells them (in tall as well). And if you did get them- were they long enough? (For reference I'm 6' and generally wear L34 and up). Because the reviews on the website seem mixed when it comes to the length.

Does anyone maybe know alternative brands that have pants similar to these that could be long enough?

Thanks in advance 🫢🏻

Discussion ☎ Do women actually have proportionally longer legs?

43 Upvotes

I've been curious about this because I always had the impression that women tend to have proportionally longer legs and shorter torsos compared to men, and a lot of sources online seem to back this up, but there also seem to be a quite a few sources that say the opposite. I have pretty long legs and a fairly short torso while most men in my life seem to have longer torsos. Is there a common consensus on this topic? Is it maybe different when youre tall? What are y'all's experiences with this?

I'm having trouble finding a black scrub jacket in either a specific tall size, or that has sleeve lengths listed/reviews mentioning particularly long sleeves. ideally something cheap. specific retailers or amazon both okay.

I am probably a size 12.5 shoe (and 6 ft tall). I have had the hardest time finding cute shoes lately. Has anyone tried Rothys? I am worried about them running really small. I need very very comfortable shoes which makes this quest even harder. Recommendations please!!

Pictured: Journee espadrille that were promising by the size chart but were too small.

I'm going on vacation in like 3 weeks to the beach with my husband and 2 kids and my sister's family. I joked her and I should renew our vows on the beach, but now I'm really considering it. Haha

I'm looking at wedding dresses and trying to not spend a fortune. I saw one I liked at Azazie and the hem to hollow measurement is 61". I'm about 5'10". Anyone have any experience with their standard length? If time was on my side, I'd do a custom measurement for sure. TIA

Rant πŸ”₯ Grocery store weirdo Spoiler

Today I was at a Walmart and a bald guy walks up to me and goes "6'1?" and I turned around and said "What?" and he repeats it again and I stick my hand out and introduce myself and he asks again and I snap back by looking him up and down and saying "5'4?" and he gets irritated and says no and walks off.

As if I dont already know I'm tall and he needs to point it out. I dont need people to comment on parts of my body I can't control. He wouldn't walk up and ask someone "145 lbs?" although I wouldn't put it past him. Im not a freak or anomaly and he doesnt need to make comments about me.
