Any ladies out there with itty bitty legs like me?
Ever find yourself checkin’ them luscious gams in the mirror, but think: WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE A COUPLE INCHES LONGER?!
Have no fear, I have a solution for you – one that doesn’t involve a wheelchair and extensive rehab for months (I’m looking at you, leg extension surgery).
Pumps!
Look for a pair that has a pointed toe. The narrowing lines of the point will elongate your beautiful legs, boosting your height (sort of) – and your confidence.
** Extra length if you buy the pumps in nude!
I’m always looking for ways to feel taller, because yes, I do have a complex about my height. *insert blushing emoji here*
I saw these babies at Winners (right?!), and I LOVED everything about them. The colour obviously caught my eye first – hello, they’re cobalt blue – but the design was what really drew me to them. I’m loving the lace-up style with the sexy little cut outs.
Side note: There is a “rule” about little legs and ankle straps. That rule is to avoid them as they ‘cut off’ your leg at the ankle and therefore actually give the illusion of shorter legs. Let’s just avoid that rule for now. It doesn’t always apply.
I decided to play around with things since my usual go to is very black, or very white.
I feel like I’ve achieved “global” status with this look.
Global…get it?
You know, green/blue/tan? Earth colou…….. nevermind. I’ll just see myself out…
I paired these blue suede beauties with my favourite jade pants (Urban Behavior), and this AH-MAZING faux fur coat (H&M). Honestly, this jacket makes me feel so thug…but like, Beyonce thug. Is that even categorically correct?
MY POINT IS, I feel so badass/Queen-like in this piece (also, very warm so very practical).
If you don’t already own a ridiculous(ly awesome) jacket like this, you should definitely invest in one. You’ll cherish it and BONUS: if you’re socially awkward quiet like I am, it’s a GREAT conversation starter. People will be asking if they can pet you, left – right – and – centre.
It’s not that creepy, I swear.
If it does start to get overly weird, then you’ll look fabulous as you run the opposite direction. I recommend practicing the running if you’ll be wearing your blue suede shoes.
This post got kind of weird. Sorry.
(Not sorry)
For a 4 inch heel, these shoes are actually quite comfortable. Especially for naps mid-shoot (see below).
Ladies, don’t be afraid of heel height. It all depends on the style of the shoe. If the shoe supports you in all the right areas, then the height of the heel won’t be so intimidating.
Now that you know what to look for — Happy shopping! 🙂 ❤
Bonus Material
If you REALLY want to feel small and insignificant, take a journey into the mountains. Every so often I need that escape, and I had the privilege this past weekend.
To remind me to stay humble, and to remind me that my troubles really are non-existent in the grander scheme. The fresh mountain air also does wonders for a soul. I swear, it’s truly magic at work…like some kinda Harry Potter sorcery. Ya feel me?
