Being under 5 feet tall can make finding certain clothes nearly impossible. Take bell bottom jeans for example. People say, "Oh you can hem them!" Wrong. Once hemmed, the flared awesomeness - the part that makes them "bell," disappears. This means we vertically challenged have to find jeans actually made for our non-Amazonian legs. This is a challenge.
Since I've been seeing more bell bottoms and wide-legged jeans online, I didn't hesitate to try on the pair I noticed at Target a couple months ago. They were marked with an "R" for regular length which is a glorious mark in my mind because that usually means that an "S" for short exists somewhere in the universe. Luckily I was right as I tried on the regular length and they were much, much too long for me. I immediately went online, found the short version (they're still online!), and ordered them. Here they are in their wide-legged splendor!
I've actually been wearing these jeans to work a lot paired with various blouses or t-shirts and cardigans. The dark wash makes them pretty versatile. Here's a very casual styling of them. with an old striped shirt (that I probably should get rid of by now since it's a little faded) and my super awesome Little Mermaid Funko Pop necklace that I got at this year's Dragon Con.

So what do you think? Have you gotten on board with any styles of jeans outside the usual skinny jeans? I wear both still and enjoy that so many styles are "in style" at the same time.
And how has your week been? I spent way too much at the Sephora 20% off sale and picked up some cool dresses at Ross that I'll show you soon. I'm just getting super excited for Thanksgiving and a couple days off to lounge around the house, eat food and watch TV - particularly the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. What are your plans for the next couple weeks? I'd love to hear about them!
Have a fantastic rest of your Sunday!
