Pant Length

Hemming and Hawing about hem length

What bothers me about this look is my pant length. It looks short. WTF. I am 5 feet tall, why do my pants look too short? Proportion. My legs are on the long size (for a 5 foot woman) and my heels are 5 inch Jessica Simpsons Mina, available on Piperlime. Don’t always assume to put on your highest heel is the best idea. With this pair of pants, I need a little shorter heel to make my legs look as long as possible. I think the pant hem is hanging too high off of the ground stopping the eye, making my legs look shorter. When I wear this boot my pant isn’t hanging as long as it possible can. Some people at this point would begin to buy regular, non-petite pants and have them hemmed. I, on the other hand, prefer to tackle this problem by buying different height shoes. However you feel you need to handle it is just fine.

This best part about taking pictures of your daily outfits is that you can really see what others see. I will not be wearing these shoes with these pants any more.

 

The rest of the outfit is all Ann Taylor; regular size small Ann Taylor sweater, with a cream cami underneath (because it is a regular small and the neckline hangs way too low), size 6 petite pants, and AT jewels.

 

The sweater is actually a regular size small, it just runs a little short. I have a co-worker with a very similar body type and she suggested it to me after she had tried it. So, it just goes to show you really do need to bite the bullet and just try things on sometimes…even if you are sure it won’t work for you.
