Mid-Week Musts: Workout Tunics

So, you've finally found the Tall yoga pants of your dreams.  But, you still don't quite have the yoga booty of your dreams and want a little more coverage back there.  No worries, I've got you covered.  Well, rather, these tops have got you covered:

Top Left: Nike "Epic" Dri-Fit Wool Top
Top Right: Hard Tail Long Skinny Tee
Bottom Left: Nike "Future Fade 2" Tee
Bottom Right: Nike "Epic" Dri-Fit Crew Top

As you can see, I picked a colorful selection, but the Dri-Fit tops are available in neutrals, as well as several other colors.  Another place for longer tops is the ASOS tall section; especially if you tend more towards the couch sitting forms of yoga.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Mid-Week Musts: Tall Yoga Pants

If you're tall and you do yoga, you know how difficult it is to find yoga pants that are long enough.  Even if you're tall and you don't do yoga but like to wear yoga pants around the house in case you have to downward dog for dropped Doritos, you know it's hard.  Well, this week's mid-week musts list is here to help:

Top left: These are Victoria's Secret and I'm not sure what inseam they are, but my friend, who is also six feet tall, says they are more than long enough.

Top right: These are from Old Navy.  I have two pairs of these and can attest that their claim to a 36" inseam is definitely valid; they are plenty long.

Bottom Right: These pants are from Marika.  They're shorter than the rest at 34" but Marika makes a great workout pant.  I have a cropped pair and they're my favorite for Jazzercise.

Bottom Left: This last pair is from Tall Water Jeans and if you're truly tall, these are your yoga pants.  They have a 37.5" inseam.  Yes, that's right, 37.5 inches on a yoga pant.  Brilliant.

I also included a fun top, a pink mat (I'm partial to pink for my mats) and adorably weird (weirdly adorable?) shoes that are great for both Doritos-lounging and commuting to yoga class.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Mid-Week Musts: The Valentine's Edition

Today's mid-week musts are all about Valentine's Day:

The Dress: From a new-to-me brand, Poppy & Bloom.  They make retro-inspired dresses for plus-sized gals and they do it beautifully
The Scarf: Plaid and hearts and general adorableness
The Earrings: Cute without being cutesy
The Tights: These may be cutesy but I <3 them anyway (see what I did there?)
The Lipstick: My go-to red lip; M.A.C Viva Glam I


Okay, you caught me.  Today's must-read is a book that has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, but it has "love" in the title so, you know, that's something:

And really, this is a great book.  It is weird and daring and absolutely delightful. I actually read it several years ago and am re-reading now and I highly recommend it to those of you who like your literature a little strange.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Mid-Week Musts: Violet and Blue and The Amazon Too

Every week (or, you know, when I remember), I'll be posting a weekly list of my musts; must have, must read, must listen, must watch.  This week's must-haves feature a heavy dose of violet and blue:

Old Navy Fit and Flare Dress (tall available)

LOFT coat (tall available & currently an extra 60% off )
Kate Spade New York studs 

Jeffrey Campbell ankle boots

Halogen scarf

And today's must-read features a heavy dose of the Amazon:

The Mapmaker's Wife is one of the books I read during my blogging break and I loved it.  LOVED.  It.  I don't read a lot (or any, really) non-fiction, but this book is fantastic.  I loved all of it, even the science-y parts that I'm not sure I fully comprehended; the story is just that good.

If you haven't yet read this book, do.  It's great.

Happy Wednesday, All!
