A Blog to Help Out the Tall Girls

I am tall. At 6'0", I would classify as a tall girl. I'm most definitely not the tallest out there, but my height is sufficient enough to have caused me serious issues in finding clothing. It didn't help the confidence at a young age either.

However, I have seen many a blog and forum of posts of tall women lamenting their height, for the various attention it garners, the shopping difficulties, you name it. I don't want this to be one of those blogs. I am aiming for this blog to show tall girls the light, especially the younger ones. It is NEAT to be tall. There are so many benefits! This blog will celebrate those benefits.

But, undeniably, there are negatives to this tall thing. Rather than lament them, let's fix the issues. Have as much trouble as I do finding long pants? Don't worry. I will post numerous website and retail store reviews showing just where to find the extra long clothing. How about the other things? Showerheads where you have to duck to get your hair wet? Chairs so low your knees hit your chin? I will attempt to cover every aspect of adaptation to the tall life that I can think of.

You will likely see posts here for other non-average shapes and size here too. I have large feet too, at size 12 in womens, so you will undoubtedly see posts for big shoe retailers and the like. In the future, I may expand to include plus-sized, petites, short heights, small feet, etc. However, having no experience in such areas, I hesitate to post about them. I know how frustrating it can be when people think they can relate, but really they just don't get it.

That's it for now. Once things get rolling, I really hope this blog helps out someone struggling with their height.
