Tall girl problems (vent)

[AHappierHour]

Im 5'9 and I love cute shoes but I get so self conscious about my height when I put them on. I bought a super cute pair of wedges and I wanted to wear them yesterday. I put them on and took them off last mintue and wore flats Now Im thinking about returning them. I love the shoes but I don't think I would ever make it out of the house in them. I hate being tall sometimes.

I'm 5'10 and do this too. I told myself I will wear the cute shoes this year.

I used to do this too. I'm 5'10" and have to tell myself to not give a crap and just tower over people. Rock those wedges!

I'm 6', so I definitely feel you. I use to still wear my heels when going out, because it was a "conversation starter", lol, but now I just don't. All the cute shoes are heels too! :-(

Ohh, ladies, don't deprive yourselves! If you love the shoes, who cares if you're taller than whoever you are hanging out with? I'm 5'9" and wear 3-4" heels regularly. I love being tall!

I'm actually sad that I have to wear flats for work--I stand up all day long and my feet just can't take it--because I have so many cute pairs of heels I can't wear any more.

Wear the heels! I am 5'8" and most of my friends are not even close to my height, but who cares? Cute shoes win out every time, plus I hate flats, lol.

What??! WEAR them!!

[callmehales]

i'm 5'10", and i would never DREAM of not wearing heels. the only time i purposely pick shorter ones or flats is if i'm going out with my close friends (who are all under 5'6") and i don;t feel like squatting down in every photo.

granted, i think heels take a certain attitude to wear well...and if you feel weird being tall, you're ALWAYS gonna feel weird wearing heels.

you should totally wear them! I was so self-consious about my height (only 5' 9") in high school - but now I wear 3" - 4" shoes all the time. I love it! my best friends are maybe 5'1" - so while I stand taller than them I'm still good with it and love wearing heels!

You're not even close to being tall enough to have this issue.

I'm 5'11 and wear heels a lot. My favorite quote when I was single and guys (usually shorter or same height ) asked why I wore heels:

I'm not wearing ugly shoes because you are insecure.

I'm 5'8" and I was rocking some wedges yesterday. Don't be ashamed of your height! Think of how great your legs will look in heels

[mrsgoontz]

I'm 5'10" and I wear heels almost every day!! I wear what I want to wear, who cares if you are tall. Life is too short not to wear the shoes you want.

calips - love that quote!

I'm 5'8" and love a good pair of heels. I wore the so often at my last job that my coworkers would comment about how much shorter I was on the rare days I wore flats. I do tend to stick to heels and wedges under 4 inches for both comfort and because I dislike giant platforms.

That with all due respect. I'm 6'2". And I wear size 12.5/13. I'm lucky if ANY cute shoes exist in my size never mind the height of said shoe. Seriously, learn to rock it. To use a really aweful phrase - it is what it is. you are this tall so just go with it! And besides it really is awesome being this tall. The only time I couldn't do it was in a 5 inch high heel. Suddenly I was the same height as my husband and I already get comments on my height. I didn't need anymore.

I am 5'8 and  wear 3-4" heels regularly,  I feel heels can make an outfit look that much better!   I wouldn't worry about it,  just wear them. 
One thing I will not do is go over a 4" heel though, that is where i draw the line.
