Ladies, I’m pretty short (5’1 and a half) but my legs are short proportionally so I look closer to 5’0” in effect. It drives me crazy how short my legs are in comparison to my torso/upper body and I’m really insecure about it and think it looks horrible. I wear mild (0.7 inch) heel lifts in my shoes a lot but this becomes an issue with sandals and when I have to go barefoot because people don’t like shoes in their home. Can anyone relate and have suggestions/tips?

Wear high waisted and long pants and shorter tops (get them altered).

Generally flared is not flattering for shorter people. Stick with straight or skinny (although apparently that’s no longer in style). I also shy away from crop pants as that will appear to cut off your leg. For tops, peplum is a good style to accentuate a higher waist. You can also tuck in longer tops in your high waist pants to show your waist.

I can totally relate - I'm 5'2", and my torso is very long compared to my legs. It's all about finding clothing that flatters your body type - for me, that's a fitted shirt with nice jeans or a high waisted skirt and A-line dresses because they make my body look more proportional.

Wear heels- sandals with wedges, neutral colors that blend with your legs.

Hi ladies!

TIA!

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes. By the time I realized I messaged her and she said she can’t extend the time due to other clients so I suggested we reschedule for next week. She’s now asking for full payment of $175. I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with.
