Oh my goodness! Creating this list has been SO. MUCH. FUN. Of course, each choice flatters your frame and is functional for your life. Rather than sticking with one seasonal color palette, we looked at all of the recent outfits we created from existing pieces. Then, we identified the color palettes based on those pieces- ensuring that we stick with colors that you LOVE and building off of them so that you have a clear, cohesive approach moving forward. You’ll see that your new color palettes are reflected on your personal profile.

Your existing collection is filled with fun and functional dresses that are flattering for your frame and clearly bring you joy. The struggle has been navigating separates, especially bottoms, because you are both tall and long waisted. With this in mind, we have a deep dive on an array of choices that crack the code. I’m recommending fewer dresses and concentrating on separates. But don’t worry- we’ve got dresses, too!

It’s a big list, giving you lots of agency. I can’t wait to hear what you think. Let’s dive in!

Flattering for your frame, super versatile and made by a small maker, this necklace doubles as a belt and is both vintage-inspired and an up and coming trend. Identifying that final layer to stay warm without sacrificing your look has been a challenge. This sheer jacket is a unique and functional solution. It’s longer, but because it is sheer, it’s a flattering choice. Make it more casual with a tank or tee, if you like. This feminine pair of Rag & Bone jeans are both flattering for your frame (I’m looking at you high rise with details that elongate your legs and draw the eye down), and a true showstopper. Expect endless compliments. Drawing the eye to your wrists is a win for your Inverted Triangle shape and this lovely bracelet also empowers women, making it an ideal talking point. A functional crossbody bag in gold is fun, aligns with your style and is simultaneously super practical. Plus, who doesn’t love a sale?! And finally, we’r finishing things off with bold red shoes. It’s true, you don’t have red in your closet and we’re focusing on red shoes, rather that clothing. This color is represented in both the Clear Spring and Warm Autumn color palettes. Those are our focus. This means that not only to red shoes offer up the fun and femininity that you adore, but they are also incredibly versatile and conversation starters. Of course, comfort is key as you do a great deal of walking. Every pair of shoes is walkable and lovely.

Outfit one complete. Go!

You’re drawn to pink and we want to be sure you have fresh choices to attend events without thinking too hard. Bubble skirts balance out your broad shoulders and a strapless choice means we can show them off. This dress is a win-win.

We also discovered several pieces in your wardrobe that are vintage-inspired with particular call outs to the 60’s. I love Marmalade for memorable items nodding to the 60’s. Each one is made to measure so we know they’ll fit your tall frame! You’ll have a great time on the site. For now, I am very enthusiastic about you in this coat! It’s useful all year and is just as dreamy with jeans as with a fun dress.

What says, “fun” more than a horse charm?! This one was really calling to me. I also want to share a quick visual to illustrate the flexibility of the pieces on this list. For example, the pink strapless dress can be worn casually on the weekend running to the farmer’s market or out to lunch. Pair it with a super casual shoe, like these delightful rubber sandals from Boden. They can be tossed in the washing machine and are crazy comfortable. Add the scarf to your gold cross body handbag to bring it all together and integrate a shade of green that you love.

Another color that brings you joy and is represented in your existing collection, this memorable cardigan is an unexpected take on a classic. Feel free to unbutton the top few buttons to balance your frame. Then, choose another stellar pair of pants to make getting dressed easy. You’ll see a very wide variety of cuts, colors, etc. for pants in our quest to ensure that you leave this experience with a solid understanding of several cuts that flatter your shape and communicate your authentic personal style. The vertical stripe also elongates your legs, which is a win for your long torso. Plus, these are just cool. A gold sandal completes nearly every look in warm weather and this pair from Gentle Souls is nice and comfortable. The gladiator style aligns with your aesthetic and is dreamy with pants, skirts and dresses. And the price is glorious, too!

Bold earrings that match nearly every outfit kick off this next look and I’m obsessed with this handbag for you. The chocolate brown color means it will match your new and existing wardrobe and the style is vintage-inspired and still very fresh. Sezanne and the French Girl Aesthetic are just right for you. This top will look shorter on you than on the model and will still work well. Get ready for your mind to be blown. Introducing Rag & Bone’s Miramar. These look like jeans but are actually sweatpants. They are ideal for working from home and then running around town. And the cut is just right for your frame- with a light color, wide leg on the bottom to balance your frame. The 70’s are also in the mix as we develop a clear picture of your authentic style. This sandal from Sorel is crazy comfortable (we know Sorels work for you)- and has a fresh take on a vintage classic. I expect you’ll use these on the daily.

This necklace is SO COOL and it’s from Ballard’s own, Prism, making it a fun talking point that you can wear on repeat. It’s vital that you have a go-to choice for black tie events. You never know what will arise. THIS is how you’ll do it- regardless of time of year or occasion.

The perfect sweatshirt paired with two more styles of Rag & Bone Miramar pants for a loungewear outfit that is next level comfortable while still looking like elevated clothing.

I’m really excited about this particular look, kicking this off with a vintage-inspired handbag in a shade of green that you love that’s also on super sale. And what could be more timeless and functional than a denim trench coat?! It’s ideal with all your prints, so say, “goodbye” to the stress of determining your final layer. I especially adore this combo with the Sezanne high waisted shorts and a gold boot for shoulder seasons. It’s hot. It’s cold. It’s both. It’s neither. How do you get dressed? This is how. And these Coclico gold boots are crazy comfortable and useful in all sorts of weather. Plus, gold is the neutral that will work with your entire collection and still bring fun to every look.

More versatile, expressive earrings that capture your feminine spirit without being over the top. We know this shade of rust looks beautiful on you and the delicate vibe of this sweater vest is just right. Layer it over a dress or pair with these insanely flattering flare jeans from Veronica Beard. They’ll make your legs look 10 miles long and show off your shape. Plus, the sale price is a HUGE win. Alternatively, this top will look beautiful with this stunning olive green skirt. It has feminine details that can be played up when you’d like. Or, minimize them for work by layering a chunky sweater over top and finishing with boots. Truly, every piece in this look can by styled and/or layered to wear year-round. Finally, a gorgeous and sleek knee high boot will elongate your legs. Just add suede protectant spray and wear them throughout the year. I’d skip them on days with heavy rain, but otherwise, they do work:)

First up, Noonday Collection empowers artisans across the world. This pair of earrings include the green portion. They are so cool- and will add an unexpected pop of color when you are opting for a more subtle earring. Pair them with this flattering swing top and get ready for magic. Aritzia’s Babaton lightweight soft trench is going to become a go-to for you. Wear it inside or out, depending on that day’s needs. It’s a dream for layering and is flattering for your frame, showing off your beautiful height and celebrating your figure, especially with a heel. Finally, Elims denim comes in multiple lengths and an off white wide leg choice is the ideal pant to pair with any voluminous or light top to balance out your frame.

I also love the short version of the Babaton jacket and recommend picking one up. Perhaps the longer choice in brown and shorter in black? Both will make it easy to stay comfortable in any temperature and as someone who runs hot, you’ll appreciate this lighter fabric for maximum versatility. One shoulder tops show off your shoulders and also balance your frame. This feminine cut is great for everyday. Feel free to layer a jacket over top for work and just take it off when hitting happy hour. And of course, these textured shorts are vintage-inspired and super fun to pair as they are just right with solids and so many prints. Worried about how to complete this look? Not anymore! Gold ankle boots for the win. Opt for these or the Coclico pair.

This skirt was calling your name- between the color palette, the expressive print, the cut and the sale price?! Done and done. A long layered necklace is a must-have for you and this sale item from Nordstrom Rack is gret for your budget, too. While we’re here, let’s make sure you have basics that flatter your frame.

Whether your wear these pieces together or separately, you’ll be grateful for the easy opportunity to integrate a pop of color into your look. And of course, the ethical practices of Noonday make the conversation more engaging- solidifying your look as approachable, yet again. I’m very enthusiastic about this look as we’re experimenting with balloon pants. Voluminous pants are a big trend right now and they are a dream for a woman with an Inverted Triangle figure. These have an effortless, feminine vibe and are also insanely comfortable for WFH. Adding a fun red shoe (any on the list work well), anchors the look and the flattering and easy to pair tank makes getting dressed simple. Last but certainly not least, while a bomber is not ideal for shape, we do have a zillion bottoms that you can pair this one with. I can see you loving the fabric and color. Think of it as channeling your fleece jacket- and useful for layering throughout the year.

Holy crow! This one is super fun! Okay- I have no idea how you’ll receive these studded barrel pants but…. you love royal blue, the cut is super flattering and the details are sure to draw compliments. I really think you’ll love them with a simple white tank or tee. While I know that you’re not jonesing for a silk blouse because it isn’t easy to toss in the washer, this style is just right for you and is an easy way to elevate the most casual of looks. Plus, it’s expressive for Zoom meetings, when no one sees the rest of your look. And last but certainly not least, Beek makes really comfortable, lovely shoes. And this pair is on sale! Plus it’s in a color that you love AND they will mix and match easily with the vast majority of your pieces! And they’ll be useful for many years. Just pull them out again as the temperature warms up.

We’re almost done! The final few items are too good to leave off the list. Naturally, they all integrate into your new and existing collections easily. They are also ringers when you want to wear an oversized, boxy, bold top. So, I’m including them to give you more flexibility. First, a white bubble skirt is insanely useful and yes, you can toss it in the washer with bleach. These super fun eye-catching slides are from Frances Valentine. The brand, originally founded by Kate Spade, has a variety of vintage-inspired, beautifully made pieces. So, I want to be sure you see that brand.

Almost there…

I love your scarf bag and here’s a scarf in a similar color palette that will look lovely tied to a handbag. Scarves are coming back hard and they are a great way for you to add softness and elegance to a look, without seeming stuffy.

You love cords and this Veronica Beard choice is again- oh, so flattering! It’s the same cut as the jeans and also on sale. I know you are nervous about the flares, but really, they are show stoppers. And speaking of show stoppers, a great pair of vintage-inspired green boots are super functional and bring another unexpected, memorable element to the mix. These are great for the rain with a walkable heel that can be paired easily.

And closing out your list- we have a textured top from L’Agence on super sale. It may fit more like a bralette, but that will look beautiful, too! And if you need one more ringer, a black bubble skirt makes it easy to finish off any look with black, without worry about throwing off your style math. Plus, the price is right.

And there you have it! Take a look at your Returns Doc for details on the return policy for each retailer. I am SO excited about this list for you. There’s lots of room to experiment IRL with fit and style. You’re going to look and feel incredible. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
