Review-Long Tall Sally Check Trench- Great Fashion Blog for Tall Women - Clothing Reviews and Outfit Inspiration

Hello Lovelies! Today I want to share with you my thoughts on the Check Trench that I received courtesy of Long Tall Sally.

Long Tall Sally was kind enough to send me this gorgeous navy and ivory gingham trench coat from their new Spring collection.  Can I just say that it was love at first sight.  From the pictures online it appealed to my classic, preppy and fun nature by its looks alone.  Then when I received it in the mail, and opened the package, I was so giddy because it looked even better in person.  When I tried it on, it was a dream the sleeve length was amazing, the fit of the jacket was perfect and I loved the details such as the navy buttons, decorative belt cuffs at the wrist and the pockets.

I like the matching belt but would have LOVED it, if it were longer, so that it could be tied at the waist. That is actually the only miss with this trench.  Do you see how long the sleeves are on this trench, love it! I measured my coat and the sleeve length from the shoulder to the wrist is 28 1/2″ long. The measurement across the back from the seams is 17″ wide.  The length of the trench from just below the collar to the bottom hem is almost 42″ long. As you can see in the pictures it stops just above my knees. For reference I’m wearing the U.S. size 12 and I would say it fits true to size.  I have a thin knit sweater on here and I don’t feel confined at all and the buttons are not pulling.

What I also love about this check trench from long Tall Sally is that it is structured but not stiff and heavy.  The gingham trench itself is 100% cotton and rain proof. It is light to mid weight and fully lined with a navy polyester fabric, which makes it perfect for spring time temperatures.  It comes with extra buttons, (which you can kind of see in this picture below, towards the inside bottom of the trench because I forgot to cut them off…lol). I truly adore this trench and I promise you I am not just saying that because it was given to me.  It just fits perfectly, I love the quality and the stitching and you know I love me some gingham! I would give this trench 4 out of 5 stars, with the one star reduction being that the belt is too short to tie, that would be all.  Pretty Tall Style - Tall Women's Fashion and Lifestyle Blog - Long Tall Sally Gingham Trench Coat Review

I decided to pair my new navy and white Long Tall Sally check trench with bright pink, but I see myself pairing it with kelly green, purple, red and orange in the near future as well. Today I dressed it up in a professional manner with pumps. trousers and a sweater, I think this trench will be just as lovely dressed down with jeans and my navy hunter wellingtons.  I will try pairing it with a skirt and a mini-dress as well.  So if you were on the fence about this check trench from Long Tall Sally, hopefully I’ve answered some of your questions.

Review: Gap Quilted Wool Biker Jacket

When I first laird eyes on this Gap quilted wool biker jacket I knew I had to have it!  I have an affinity for jackets and blazers of all types, but a true love for moto type jackets.  I was able to purchase it while Gap was having one of its awesome discount promotions and impatiently waited as it was a backordered item.  But when it arrived it was truly worth the week wait.  This jacket is amazing! The color, the material, the fit, the weight, the detail, I mean I love absolutely everything about it. It is chic and modern with the quilted details but classic in its shape, structure and color that it will last for years and quickly become a cold weather staple for me.  This neutral camel color also pairs well with pretty much every single other color. Ladies again if you were wondering about the length of the sleeves, check it out, super long long.  No cold wrists over this way. For reference I am wearing a size large tall and I would say it fits true to size.  I also love that the sleeves are slim fitting, but not restricting or tight in any manner.  It consists mainly of a wool/polyester blend and is completely lined. The sleeves are lined in a different material then the body, which allows for easy layering over a sweater or shirt without your sleeves getting stuck and bunched up.  Also I like the way it feels so that it can also be comfortable wearing over just a tank or tee. The Gap quilted wool biker jacket is a hit and closet keeper for me. pretty tall style -tall women's fashion blog - review gap quilted wool biker jacketWhat I’m Wearing:

Gap Quilted Knit Bomber

Hello Lovelies! Today its all about this Gap quilted knit bomber jacket.  I purchased this jacket a few weeks ago and this is my first time wearing it.  I’ve been wanting something quilted to add to my wardrobe and when I spotted this jacket on the Gap website in this lovely dark heather grey shade I knew immediately that this would be my one trendy quilted piece.  It also helped that there was a 30% off promotion going on at the time as well.  This jacket is super soft, and warm, but not too heavy that it makes you hot.  It is a 62% cotton, 38% polyester blend and it is unlined. It does look a bit unfinished on the inside but this doesn’t bother me as it is a casual knit jacket. Now let’s talk about these sleeves! I kept them pulled all the way down, because I wanted you all to see how long they are. I measured from the shoulder seam and it is a little bit over 28″ long. For reference I am wearing a size large tall and I would say it fits true to size. If you have really long arms and a hard time finding jackets with sleeves long enough even in tall sizes then you may want to try this one because the sleeves are extremely long as you can see in my pics.   Although this quilted jacket may be considered a trendy piece, I think because of the classic heather grey color and bomber style it is a piece that I can keep around for years to come and can wear from fall, winter to spring because of the climate I’m in.  Also when I went to find the links to provide for you all, I noticed that they only had the heather grey color left, which is a lighter shade of heather grey than mine.  Just wanted to let you know in case you decided to purchase and yours looked a little different. pretty tall style - tall women's fashion blog - gap quilted knit bomberWhat I’m Wearing:
