I've been preoccupied with worries about the future, for my career and my life in general. I've also been thinking a lot about this blog, mostly feeling guilty for not doing anything with it, not posting. I'm still not sure what I want this blog to be...well, actually, I do know what I want it to be. I want it to be a place for tall girls and women to come for advice, for understanding and encouragement.
The problem has sometimes been the fact that most of the goings-on in my daily life don't have anything to do with being a tall woman, or at least I don't think about it that much. And when I do it's usually a passing thing, like I'll be out shopping and can't find any clothes or shoes that fit. Or someone will ask me my height and I'll just tell them and that will be that.
I need to spend more time thinking about these little things and turning them into ideas that will work for a larger tall audience.
I started writing this post because I was feeling bad about letting the blog languish again. But just now, writing about frustrations of shopping, makes me realize that I do have a well of knowledge about where to find clothes and shoes. So that will be my next post!
Bottom line, I know I've said this before, but I'm going to get serious about posting regularly. I'm going to start by giving myself an easy goal: one good, in-depth post once a month. August=Shopping for the Tall Woman. If anyone wants to contribute some shopping tips, write them in the comments and I'll incorporate them into the post. I'll be back soon! PROMISE!

I don't think about height most of the day either, but clothes are an issue. I live in Denmark, so I don't have much useful on where to shop, but over time I've become very good at figuring out what can be modified. There is a very good seamstress I use who is very good and inexpensive making little alterations and I have learned how far she can go. I've been buying vintage clothing and putting together interesting combinations. I know I've done something right when, rather than commenting on my height, someone first complements me on what I'm wearing.
Check Out this link, for those tall girls that need some inspiration. I created this poem after hearing a lot of TALL Girls dislike their height and become discouraged. And its real upsetting because I am a PROUD TALL Girl and I want others to feel the same... Titled: Rise Tall Girls Rise
