Short

HI GUYS. I'm sort of high on hydrocodone cough syrup and I actually don't really like it. I'm hoping it'll help me sleep, though. And make me stop coughing.

I took that photo above in an Anthropologie fitting room. I went in to try on pants. I think those were Joe's Cavalier Ponte in turquoise. I saw them online and saw that they had a short-ish inseam and wanted to see how they fit.

I HATE trying to buy pants. Not only am I super short with disproportionately short legs, but my legs are also scary thick. HELLO THUNDER THIGHS. So why does this make it hard to buy pants? Let us count the ways.

  1. I'm short even by petite standards I am sub-five feet tall which makes it a bitch to buy pants for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that inseams are always too long for me, even on a lot of petite pants. This is a relatively easy fix, though. What isn't an easy fix is the rise of the pant. My shorter-than-normal (even for petites) rise means that waistbands hit me higher than they should which means that there will be a waist gap. Now, this problem wouldn't be too bad with petite pants if not for...
  2. My thick-ass legs (Not thick ass-legs, I don't know what those would be) I think my legs are seriously about a size larger than my waist. If pants fit me well in the waist, I won't be able to get my monster thighs into them. If I can get my legs into them there is usually a significant gap at the waist.

What usually ends up happening is I either deal with the waist gap (ugh) or I find super-stretchy pants that will stretch to accommodate my tree stump legs. The pants I was trying on above kind of fit the bill except they didn't look so great on me, probably because of the color. What I wouldn't give for smaller thighs!

Next photo is a random one that I took because I haven't been taking too many photos lately. I'm wearing NARS Super Orgasm (gift from Xinlei!) on my toes and AllSaints wedges on my feet.

GADDAMN this cough syrup makes me feel a little drunk but not in a good way. Time to hit publish and zone out. Woo. I'm out like I'm out.
