To my blog.
I laugh and joke about how short I am. I mean I am just over 5ft tall. It doesn't bother me at all that I am so short. Until that is I try and find trousers or jeans that fit me right. Not only am I short but I am plus size as well. While there are great plus size stores I still can't find any jeans or trouser that fit me being short because even the petite sizes are aimed for people between 5ft2 and 5ft5. Which at 5ft I am no where near.
So when I went into Penningtons I found a really nice pair of trousers. (I wish I'd taken a picture of them on the hanger. But I have found a picture of them.) They had rips in them and I really liked them, they were a perfect fit around my stomach which for me is also a problem area. The only problem with them was that they were a little to long. Not massively like most trousers are but enough for the rips in the legs not to even be seen.
In my whole life (my whole 27 years on this planet) I have only ever found two pairs of jeans that fit me perfectly. Leg and around the stomach.
As you can see in the pictures that the trousers look good, but in reality they are pulled up a bit and you can't see the actual rips in the trousers.
There was no way that I could justify $50 of my Christmas gift card money on something that just didn't look right on me. Which is such a shame because they were so cute and comfortable and the only pair of trousers in the whole store that I actually liked. Thankfully I still have some money left on my gift card so if something comes out later then I'll get something then.
I have come to realize that my height will always be a massive problem in my life. While I like being short I personally think that petite ranges should carry for the shorter people (well people under the 5ft3 that most petite ranges start at)
