- When shopping for pants, look for brands that make different lengths. SimplyBe makes . and both sell jeans in short lengths.
- Try things on! Because of my height, I never know how things are going to fit so whenever possible, I try things on in person before purchasing. Sometimes things are way too long as I expected and sometimes things fit just right.
- Turn long tees and tunics into dresses! If you are a regular #StareStyle reader, you probably already know that I often go sans pants with longer shirts because I can. This is one way that I make my height an advantage!
- Find a tailor that you love or look for brands that offer custom options. Many indie designers (Ready to Stare) included can make length adjustments on handmade items. I regularly request this from certain designers so that my mini skirts don’t fall below my knees
- Don’t be afraid to wear flats! There’s nothing wrong with being short so if heels aren’t your thing then don’t feel like you have to wear them just to look taller! YOU ARE DOPE AT ANY HEIGHT!
