On Being Tall.



Today is all about the jeans! I ordered these Chip & Pepper jeans from eBay because I needed some that were long enough to wear with my taller shoes. (All my pants turn into clam-diggers when I slip on mah heels.)

These jeans have a whopping 35" inseam- just enough to compensate for the highest wedges I own.

(these ones.)


I am pretty tall- even sans wedges I'm about 5'8, and sometimes I feel bad wearing really tall shoes because I TOWER over some people and then feel like a big, giant jerk face. (In heels.)

(At least they bring me closer to those gorgeous eyes my husband has... he's a tall 6'4.)

Has anyone else ever felt this way? Should I walk tall or ditch the extra height so I'm not looking down at everyone?

I say wear what you like to wear! You're tall and beautiful, be proud of it-- and you certainly shouldn't have to sacrafice cute wedges just because God happened to give you a little extra height. :)
Of course, I am a petite (barely) 5'1", so I don't really know how you feel. But I can tell you that I definitely don't mind being around tall people, even when they are in 4-inch heels! I'm short, they're tall, it's just the way it is. :)

omg I am the same height and have the exact same question! I'm almost 5'9 and feel embarrassed when I wear heels, especially since I love stilettos. I think I either have to be comfortable even when people gawk at me, or be shy and not wear them. I haven't decided which one I'll do.

hi!

im actually a little over 5'10 and used to wear 4 inch platform shoes (in my younger days...)
i cant wear any kind of heels nowadays, thanks to a nice little car accident that broke both my legs, but i'd definitely go for those vintage peeptoes...

anyhow, i say wear them heels and to hell with what people think!

walk tall my love! Be hot and have fun.

You're lucky you are still shorter than Chris in heels. I am always taller than Randy if a put on ANY heel...but he digs it, so I go with it.
