I hate it when pants are too short for me.

This isn't a minor thing to me, which is possibly why I gripe about it more than ... well, more than anyone ever, maybe. I fucking hate it. Since I'm five-foot-ten, and—thanks to vanity sizing—a size four, "too short for me" usually translates to every single goddamn pair of pants I can ever get my hands on, mostly jeans. I've probably spent more than a thousand dollars in the last two years on clothes that I absolutely refuse to wear. They look fine in the store, and then I take them home and wear them a couple of times and I look alright in then but then I discover that, lo and behold, when I sit down you can see two inches of sock over my tennis shoes and oh my god, I fucking—hate—that.

I feel like a clown. Utterly ridiculous. It doesn't bother me, it upsets me.

It upsets me so much that, if this phenomena is occurring, I won't even feel like bothering with the rest of my appearance. No makeup or anything. What's the point? I already look completely stupid.

... This isn't exactly normal, is it? And its weirdness just now occurred to me. Because I am, yes, dressed like a goddamn clown, obsessing over how completely fucking stupid I look in these jeans that are two inches too fucking short for me.

Knee-high boots. Tuck your pants into the boots. Problem solved.

Clearly the answer is to wear more sexy boots. ♥

"Long" sizes don't help?

I used to have a lot of pants like that when I refused to go buy new jeans. It helps a LOT if you wear those short socks that end under the heel of your tennis shoe.

You should buy your jeans cheap at Walmart! They have some nice jeans and long sizes which I am sure would fit ya, and if they do the high water thing, then you can take them back. Walmart will take back clothes even if they are dirty or warn as long as you have the receipt! Then you don't have to worry about all the money you spent on those expensive designer jeans at the mall^^
