I’m 5′ tall. I am shorter than most adults, and I embrace it. I can’t  imagine being super tall. Do I sometimes wish that I had an inch or two more on my torso while in a bathing suit? Yes. Oh well. Being short also can make one feel claustrophobic in a really large crowd. Other than that, I don’t mind it at all. I actually kind of love it. I can make myself comfortable in small spaces, such as airplanes and trains…and um…well…Oh! There is the fact that I have to get MOST of my clothing hemmed! Yes, it is not that big of a deal, I know. I am now used to it by now. But I realized that many people are not used to having to do that with every purchase!

I just picked up my second pair of linen pants (bought from my inventory at The Hip Joint) from my tailor yesterday. When I asked Amberlyn if we had sold the beautiful and comfortable pants that I love so much, she replied that many people had tried them on but that all of them had said that they were too long. So…I got inspired.

ANNOUNCING……

THE HIP JOINT NOW PROVIDES COMPLIMENTARY PANT HEMMING WITH ALL REGULARLY PRICED PANTS BOUGHT IN THE SHOP.

We will pin them up for you and you can come pick them back up from us downtown at The Hip Joint. I love my tailor…I have been going to her for years. She’s the best. Thank you Thuy!

just got my linen pants hemmed!

Yea to the short people!
