A Couple of Current Low Cost Options for TALL Women's Leggings & Military Cargo Pants

It is a flashback to the 1990's fashion wise when it comes to the return of leggings for women.  They are showing up in fashion magazines and last week I saw a fashionable pregnant woman with a pair on standing in front of me in line at the cash register.

For a moment, I thought. "Should I ask her where she got her leggings?" 

Dispensed that thought, as the response was more than likely going to be some maternity store such as a Pea in the Pod.

When I got home I searched on-line with the keywords "Tall Leggings" and came across another woman's blog recommending the tall size leggings she had purchased from Newport News.  She stated that they were on sale for under $20 and that they were more than adequate in length for her tall build when ordered in the tall size.

After looking over their website, I think that being the bargain hunter, that I am going to first take advantage of their offer to purchase a discounted gift card in the denomination of $50.  Total cost will only be $40 with the current offer of a 20% discount for cards under $100.

If you opt to get a $100 or $100+ card they offer a 25% discount off of the purchase price.  Super deal, if you find more items to purchase or want to Christmas shop at a later date or give the cards directly as gifts.

I will have to have patience and wait for the gift card to arrive in the mail prior to making the order to take advantage of the 20% discount*.  But, thinking dollars and having some sense, I think I can hold out.
For my tall girlfriends, I am not certain if their regular leggings tall length of 31.5" inseam is sufficient, as shown in this item #'s tall version:

Simply Must-Have Slim Leggings - $12.

Our simply must-have smooth cotton leggings with spandex stretch comfort. 28½" inseam (26½", Petite; 31½" Tall). Machine wash. USA.

There is another style that has a 34" inseam, that I plan on ordering in black and white:

So-Coveted Scrunch Leggings - $16.

Our scrunch leggings with extra-long legs to scrunch at the ankles. Slim fit. Cotton/spandex. 34" inseam. Machine wash. USA.

In terms of taking advantage of the gift card purchase first and then purchasing the leggings with the card.  It is a risk, they may not have your color and size if you wait to get the card first and then order.  Also, please check current availability of sizes and colors, as I noticed that the brown is not available in my size for the scrunch leggings.  Only black and white color options.

I am still receiving all of these sportsman catalogs; which often times have some pretty interesting gizmo's, gadgets and gear in them.  One catalog that I just received is The Sportsman's Guide:  HQ  Military Surplus Headquarters.  Inside I noticed an advertisement for a pair of women's new military cargo pants available in tall sizes for the drop down bargain price of $24.97 for two pairs. 

That is correct.  Two pairs!

NOTE:  Thursday PM, I ordered around 2000 ET on-line and was given notification that the size 8 Tall is currently not available until 10/25/10.  I went ahead and proceeded with the order and will let you know in a little over a month what I think of the pants once I receive them.

(*Shipping and handling charges will be incurred once I order.  So, the $10 in reality registers as covering shipping charges in my head.)
