Rainy Day

I don't think I've ever looked more "college"....

Looking Parisian

This is a size 0 but it fits like a 4

Let it be known that I do not like J. Crew. First, their clothes are made for tall, lanky people. Their fit is very off for someone my height and body shape. Second, they are the biggest perpetrators of vanity sizing. I am a XS/XXS and a size 0/00 there, but I can assure you that anywhere else I would be a size XS/S and 2. The biggest problem with J. Crew is that their clothes are absolutely dull and boring. With that being said, I do like their basics, such as thin merino sweaters and their occasional cute skirt. But the sizing...as you can see above, I bought the fluted skirt in a size 0 yet I am practically swimming in it.  

White Jeans

Apart from being quite easy to get dirty, white jeans also make me look like I ate 500 Krabby Patties and they all went straight to my hips and thighs.

I have short legs. Really short. How short, you ask? The jeans above are supposed to be cropped ankle jeans and they are still too long. For all my jeans, I have to get them hemmed to fit my inseam of 26". However, these have zippers on the ankles which would make hemming a nightmare, so I will just leave them as is. Does anyone else have the problem where some jeans bunch up and form creases across the back of your thighs and knees? I think it's so unflattering but I don't think it's a sizing issue. 

If I ever reproduce, I will make sure to choose a guy with tall skinny legs so our child will not have to suffer from short stubby legs. But then again, I do like dangling my legs when I sit down in a chair...so maybe it's not too bad.
