Why We Should Embrace our Height & Amazona!

by Stefanie Grace on December 19, 2008

Hi! I’m Stefanie Grace, the new contributor to Amazona Blog. I love all things fashion and as a tall girl myself, I fully support what Amazona is doing for us. I love shopping so when things don’t fit, I get how annoying it is. I write about all things fashion here and on my own blog. Thanks for reading and keep coming back!

All of us tall women have felt this at one time, in any city; you think that you are a giant, you feel huge and ugly and fat (even though in reality you’ve probably just got some good womanly curves on you!) and you most definitely do not feel like going out and attempting the whole mortifying experience all of over again! When it comes to shopping, being tall sucks. We may as well be honest about it. Especially when you’re shopping in Spain.

Ok, so this statement may not be as strongly felt as it may have sounded, but I just spent 3 days trying to shop in Barcelona and I could not get anything to fit! When your feet are a large UK 8 and you are 5’11’’ in bare feet, shopping in a city full of petite senoritas does nothing for your self-confidence.
Amazona is here to make sure that we stop feeling like monsters! If you need to know where to get jeans that are long enough, a dress with a waistline actually on your waist, shoes that are big enough (and don’t look like big leather boats!) or even how to feel better about yourself, then check out the advice on this blog and the website!

I went out this morning and bought a gorgeous pair of black gladiator heels for an interview tomorrow from New Look, size 8 with a 4-5” heel! Why should we hide away in baggy clothes and flat shoes! I’m not saying that I’m converting to heels all day long! I’m quite happy in a pair of ballet flats or chunky ankle boots for hitting the shops or the library, but when I want to put on a pair of heels and strut out in front of the world, I will! I have the confidence now and I will never lose it! People look up to supermodels as gorgeous Amazonian women, and just because we don’t strut down a catwalk proudly displaying our great heights doesn’t mean that we can’t strut down the street! So, what are you waiting for? Go and buy some heels for that Christmas or NYE party! You’ll feel, and look like a million dollars!
