Shorty?

I actually laughed out loud when I looked at these pictures. I can hardly believe it, but I kind of look... well... short!

You must understand - that is kind of bizarre for me. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall, and while that's not super tall, I am taller than almost all of my friends, most everyone in my family, and spend a lot of time getting told by my shorter friends that I'm practically an Amazon everytime I wear heels - ha!

I think it's the wide-leg of these pants, paired with the length of the tunic top - and the fact that I wore these pants with flats, where I would usually wear at least a small heel - and yet - here we are. The best part? I still really like this outfit - despite looking like a shorty for once!

Now - please please PLEASE don't take this as an insult if you're on the shorter end of the spectrum. I don't think there's anything wrong with being short, or tall, or skinny or thick, or curvy or whatever - I just find it kind of amusing to have this wardrobe optical illusion.

I originally  only had 1 necklace on with this top, but it seemed too dainty, so I tried a different one and didn't quite like it either - so I put the first one back on and voila! The perfect amount of sparkle.
Some little red rose earrings, a bit of lipstick and the outfit was complete!

And the weather even cooperated and was warm enough for me to wear my new coat from Christmas!

Enjoy!
