Go to great lengths to look and feel good. I’m not short, and I’m not “average” height either.  This makes pant-lengths a challenge for me.  I love to wear both heels and flats, so one length of pants isn’t going to work.  I have jeans in both “short” which is the perfect length for my [...]

I can pretty much guarantee that I won’t be able to post a Friday Five, so this week, I have what I affectionately call “WTF Wednesday”.
