We actually had a rainy weekend, which was fun. I got to wear my white coat one more time, and the littles got to get truly muddy helping Mr. weed the yard. A cool rainy weekend this time of year is kind of a big deal for Arizona. Usually, by March it’s already hit 90 degrees.
So my boys have this burlap ruler on the wall in their room; it’s really cute and we use it to chart their growth. The other day, juuuuust for fun, I decided to see where I measure up compared to my boys. Oh don’t worry, I’m less than a foot taller than my 7-year-old.
One of the best things about being really, truly short is that you can occasionally get away with wearing kids clothes. Which are cheaper. And now thanks to brands like J Crew and Gap, there are actually some decent options out there. Like this pair of snowcat pants from J Crew. The adult version came out when I was largely pregnant with Ava, so I thought I missed out. But low and behold, a few months later they pop up in the little girl’s section of Crewcuts, and for half the price no less.
I still had to bring them up a bit. And by a bit I mean 4 inches.
You know you’re short when you’re buying the pants of a 12 year-old girl and you still have to hem them.
ADORABLE outfit today! :-)
Has anyone ever told you that you look just like the female singer of Lady Antebellum?? :-)
I never would have seen that on my own, but I just looked at some pics and when she has brown hair, you’re right!! She does. Love Lady A!
those pants are adorable — can’t believe they are crewcuts!! xo

those are gorgeous pants, and crazy that they’re for little girls! so envious. i usually have to find extra long pants – not as easy and more expensive.

I have been debating those adorable mint shoes from Ruche for two weeks now. Finally being able to see them on someone, I feel okay purchasing them! Thanks!
how do you know what size to buy? I am only 5’2 so i think i could pull this off!

Last day to enter the Mary Nichol Handbag Giveaway ($475 value)!
And I have the opposite problem of yours – as a kid my pants were all high waters since I was skinny and tall. My doctor actually told me at age 11 that I would be six foot based on my current height of almost 5’4 – I’m only 5’8 though. Anyways I can still wear kids shirts as I basically have no shoulders no matter how much I try they just aren’t there! So kids shirts are an option although they can be short and wide at times. Cute pants though, I’m jealous!

The bow cardigan is super adorable!
Ohmygoodness you are speaking my shorty language ;) I love the look and it’s even better than you got the pants at CrewCuts!
I knew that I lucked out by being small in the shoe department, but the clothes! Oh, my world has changed for the better. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that before. I can’t wait to try! It’s been so fun to follow along your blog– hopefully one day soon I’ll actually be able to order one of your darling skirts to wear!!

You hemmed those pants to the perfect length. Fabulous! And about that rain, must make you miss Seattle a bit.
