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:

Chambray Shirt Dress

I picked up this Old Navy Chambray Shirt Dress a couple of months ago online but never got around to wearing it.  For reference I am wearing a size large tall and love the fit and length of it and the sleeves are really long. I thought about how it could be transitioned into fall and decided to layer it underneath this cute quilted  red puffer I also picked up from Old Navy during a sale.  If you live in places that have mild falls and winter but you still like to dress for fall, than you may want to look into this vest.  It is quite thin and comfortable but gives you the perfect fall/winter layering effect.  Plus the price is great as well. Now on to my boots.  I have been wanting a pair of shiny red rain boots for quite sometime now.  Although a bit pricey, I was and still am very disappointed that the women’s Hunter brand wellingtons only go up to a size 11.  They have so many pretty colors.  I was able to pick up a pair of Navy unisex Hunter’s from Barefoot Tess last year in my size for a sizable discount during a promotion and they have been my only pair thus far.  So when I spotted these shiny red 14th and Union rain boots in a size 12 for less than $50 at Nordstrom Rack I knew they had to be mine and could not wait to wear them. It’s the inner preppy girl in me. pretty tall style-tall women's fashion blog- plus size fashion blog-chambray shirt dress- red puffer vest-red rain bootsWhat I’m Wearing:
