sour grapes make the best kind of whine

so... i guess i'm a sour grape today, since i have a thing or two i wanna complain about!

1. i have tiny feet... i'm usually a 4.5 but most shoes i have are 5.5 or so, because finding anything smaller is a pain! i hate that i have a hard time finding cute shoes that fit!

2. rings and bracelets never fit me. ): this makes me really sad!

3. my torso is really short. it makes it SO HARD to find shirts that aren't too long. it's no fun...

WELL... i'm sorry to complain, nobody likes hearing others complain! I'm not necessarily complaining about my body, but I am complaining about how i can never find clothes that fit me right :) In today's post i wanted to share with you one way i resolve my complaint #3: tie up shirts!! it makes the shirt shorter, obviously, therefore fitting my body better :)) I mean come on, we're not all 5'11" models here.. am i right!?


my hair looks nappy... why? because i took a 2 hour nap this day. ahhahaha.

shirt: forever21
belt: h&m (similar here)
necklace: from my grandma (i know it's hard to see, but similar here)
jeggings: american eagle
booties: target

so for those of you with short torso's like me.... don't fret! just tie it up for a fun look that will also help lengthen your legs :))

  1. ok, i completely agree, never will rings or bracelet fit.
    also i dont have that small of feet, but my feet are super narrow, so if anyone has tried on the show before and stretched it out it wont fit. sad. small people problems. haha.

  2. Your outfit is so adorable! I seriously need more prints in my closet.
    I don't have terribly small feet but sometimes to get more of a selection I look in the kids section haha I was told a size 6 in womens is a size 4 in kids and it's true! Well... it worked for me but you definitely have to pick through the Disney princesses and other kid patterns but it might be worth a shot?

    I love reading your blog and seeing your adorable outfits!

  8. My ring size is a 4 for my engagement ring--my husband practically had a hard time convincing the jewelers to make it that small, and I couldn't get the wedding band I originally wanted because it couldn't be made in my size! I have to look at children's bracelets too. I have normal sized feet, though. I've occasionally wished that I could fit children's shoes--because my style preferences tend to lean towards the sparkly, colorful children's shoes, and I don't wear heels. :P

  9. girl I'm 5'9'' and it's not that great on this side either. all of my jeans have to be ordered in longs (so can't really find much in stores). you can always remove fabric, but you can't add it :(

    ok enough about the complaining. I think this outfit is gorgeous - the mint and leopard is perfect!
