I have a confession. I'm a bad blogger. I know I make this confession on the reg but it's true! 2015 I'll try be better and if I fail then I'll just delete this post and none of this will have ever happened...
Recently I culled my wardrobe, my 20th year will be my year of conscious clothing purchases I swore black and blue. But then I got bored and went a bit cray on the ASOS tall section. I have already worn many of these items and so it was worth it but still, again I will get better... (I say this now... Ask me again in July).
Let's go through what I got!
ASOS TALL Longer Length Ridley High Waist Jeans in Black
I do have a blogpost on Topshop Jeans and I still think they're amazing, however the price to get them sent to New Zealand and the rate with which they wear down was beginning to weigh on me. I wanted to try some new jeans and thought, hey! Longer length! So I did and OMG. They feel more like jeans than the topshop jeans and fit my body tighter. The longer length works with boots, chucks literally everything. I am obsessed and although it's summer currently in NZ, I have been wearing these like a fiend.
You can find them here: http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Tall/ASOS-TALL-Longer-Length-Ridley-High-Waist-Jeans-in-Black/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4625172&r=2
For reference I get a W30 and L38, I'm typically a size 12 or size 8 US.
ASOS TALL Culotte Shorts with Lace Hem
I've been wanting a pair of cute comfy shorts that were a bit longer to wear out and around the house and I have found them! The level of comfortable and cuteness that these reach is beyond. I haven't fully decided what to wear with them so any suggestions will be appreciated! Buyer be warned, they are perfect length for me at least if I wear them at my waist, but that just depends on how you like the fit. Also I naively expected a more silky (perhaps dare I say expensive looking) material rather than the stretchy cotton they are made of but I can work with that!
You can find them here: http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Tall/ASOS-TALL-Culotte-Shorts-With-Lace-Hem/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4561772&r=2
For reference I got a size 12 - true to fit
ASOS Glamorous Tall Lace Hem Blouse
I will admit that this purchase was a Zoella inspired whim... Sometimes I feel my style lacks a femininity that white lacy collared shirts (sounds weird but bear with) bring. Sometimes I just want to be girly and dressy and I feel this top fulfils that need for me. I haven't worn it yet but I will be wearing it with the black jeans of the same order. The material is exactly what you expect and I personally would recommend wearing with high-waisted pants or shorts as the see through lace goes up a bit higher. But if you like that gap of skin you do you boo.

That's all folks! Photos will be up when I can convince my boyfriend to take pictures of me :P I know it isn't the biggest haul but hopefully it's a glimpse into the latest ASOS stuff. I will be ordering more from their site soon as I just got a new job and need clothes! (well that's my excuse anyway)
Have a fantastic day and I think you're amazing

Disclaimer: Everything I paid for myself and the reviews are my honest opinion. I lol that anyone would think that ASOS would pay me for this. I wish that they would so ASOS hey if you're reading this, call me ;)

Topshop Tall Jean Review:
First official post. This is more difficult than I first thought. Apologies for if this isn't as good as some other blogs. We have a newbie over here folks.
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...
I've always struggled with jeans. Always too short and for some strange reason no matter how hard I tried to get those "apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, with the fuuuuur." I always failed and ended up with nobody seeing my luscious ghetto booty. That was until I found these jeans. I don't normally gush over an item of clothing, but the moment I tried on the jeans in the tall Topshop range I wanted to cry. They fit like a glove, with a high-waisted style that I personally love. They're really good quality as well as very figure-hugging, just how I like them. I bought mine in the MOTO Leigh style in Black and Indigo and fully intend to go purchase more. The length and size of the ones I purchased were W30 L36.
Tall girl tip: If you want that scrunched up look at the bottom unpick the stiches holding the hem in a rolled up fashion. I much prefer mine this way and maybe you will too.
I will admit however that these wonderful items are a tad pricy and I do still need to wear a belt if I really want them to cling. But overly I am incredibly happy and give them 5 stars. Also I'd just like to add this is not a sponsored blog at all. All opinions and comments are my own.
You can check them out on the Topshop website linked here http://www.topshop.com/en
Or in a Topshop store near you. Go you tall fiends, raid the racks, WE TOO CAN HAVE APPLE BOTTOM JEANS AND BOOTS WITH THE FUR.
Scattered around are more shots of the jeans so you can really get an idea of how they fit on a 6foot tall girl, like myself.
Personally I like to pair mine with a crop top. This is easily one of my favourite go to outfits and is so easy to recreate with a crop top of your own with your favourite high waisted jeans and high top shoes
That's all folks, Hope you enjoyed this review as much as I did writing it and go experience the happiness I did in finding jeans in a chain store that fit. Comment below if you know of any other good stores where you can find good fitting tall girl jeans and I'll try check them out.
If you have comments, criticisms, queries or questions please don't hesitate to hit me up on my various social media platforms as well as in the comment sections.

Let's do the Tall Girl Tag!
TALL GIRL TAG WHADDUP:
1*- Name...Age...Location... HEIGHT?
Undisclosed....18...NZ.....182cm aka 6foot
2* - Were you always tall ? If not, when did you get your growth spurt? How did it feel growing up being tall?
I've been tall my whole life but major major growth spurt at around 11 or 12. 2cm every 6 weeks for a year. Ima be honest with chu gurlfwend, it sucked. It wasn't fun. I got teased like nobodies business and had people always asking me dumb questions.
3* - Are your parents tall? State mom && dad's height.
I'm taller than both my parents. Mum (go away crazy Americans with your moms) is I think like 5'7 and Dad is 5'10
4* - Are your siblings also tall ? State your sibling's height and age order.
My baby bro is almost 17 and he's probably around 175cm? Sorry I keep switching. It's difficult!
5* - Some of the worst /meanest things someone has said to you because of your height? (certain names or comments)
I'm also really clumsy so I've had boys yell timber every time I fell. I've had boys call me ugly. I've had girls tell me that no-one will ever like me or look at me twice. I've had old people tell me I'm too tall. I've been called the worst of names and experienced some of the worst cases of bullying. People have pushed me over so they can yell out timber. I've had it all and it all sucks and hurts.
6* - Some of the best things someone has told you because of your height?
This is probably the hardest question. You'll be a good rower? I'm jealous of how tall you are? There's nothing really much. The legs compliment that every tall girl gets?
7*- Questions you get all the time ?
The typical. Do you play basketball? (Yes and I failed) Are your parents tall? (No. Stop asking.)
8*- Shoe size?
Unknown Womens. 11 Mens.
9*- Dating rules?
Two outta four of the guys I've dated were shorter than me. After those experiences tall all the way. My current boyfriend is just a bit taller than me but he'll do :P
10* - Do you love or hate your height? Simple..yes or no answer..think about it...
At the moment I'm impartial. I spent so many years hating it. I would consider surgeries to make myself shorter and my self-esteem would be on the floor. But over time I've become used to it. I'm not saying I love it. Just a healthy acceptance I guess.
11* - How do you feel about your height... are you ashamed or do you embrace it?
Again I'm going to be boring and say impartial. When I could row I would always embrace it and throughout the winter would be ashamed. But now, I'm again at a healthy acceptance. I neither am ashamed or embrace it. Although I do embrace the legs. Loooooong legs.
12* - Do you ever wish you were short/shorter ?
I think every tall girl does. And every short girl wants to be taller. The grass is always greener on the other side.
13* - Things you use to do, OR DO, to make you seem shorter to others..or yourself?
I used to hunch up, very bad posture but it made me feel better. I used to put all my weight on one leg and slouch to the side. It's hard to explain but you get the idea. I used to always sit down or lean as much as I could.
14* - Are you the tallest out of your friends? How does that make you feel when you guys are out ?
I am definitely the tallest out of my girl friends. I think because it's been like that for so long I don't notice anymore. It does hurt sometimes to see them all get hit on and approached and you just get ignored.
15* - When you see a fellow tall girl how does that make you feel...any interactions go on ? What goes through you mind?
On the rare occasion I see a fellow tall girl my thoughts usually consist of, judging her confidence level, then being jealous if she carries herself well and feeling bad and wanting to go talk to her if she doesnt. Then the cliche what is she wearing? I wonder where she got her clothes. And sometimes I like her shoes, I wonder where she got those.
16* - How does it feel when looking for pants/jeans..sometimes shoes ? if you know of any stores that sell long pants/jeans...NAME THEM, BE HELPFUL !
Read on friend. Follow this blog. All my tips and tricks will be divulged.

Welcome One and Welcome All
Sup Internet Friends,
Welcome to my baby, 6feetofdork! I hope you enjoy the scenery and mood lighting and stay awhile. The author, Moi would like to introduce herself if we're all going to be friends here. Although I intend to stay mum on certain matters such as my name I will be candid about all other areas of my life. Things that affect me that I hope to help someone else deal with. I am an 18 year old, fully fledged adult in the eyes of the law. I live and was born in New Zealand and currently reside at an altitude of 6 feet. Tall I know. My shoe size is 12UK Mens I think? Some things I prefer not to know but for purposes of my lovely internet friends I will find out! I'm a psychology major with dyspraxia (if you don't know what that is google it. I barely know what it is). Through 6feetofdork I wanna create a safe informative haven for all you tall, gangly, slightly impaired, self-diagnosed dorky girls and boys out there. The main posts will be focused on clothes, and tall girl tips. However I will add in serious posts on the topics of dyspraxia, uni, boys and whatever else is on my mind. I wanna be here for you Internet Friends because as we all know, real people are over-rated. So take a seat, have a geez, feel at home, get a little comfy and I hope you find what you're looking for.
