Confessions of a fashion victim

I'm so confused when it comes to fashion. I'm not really a short person, yet all of these flared leg jeans I find drag on the ground. And I have not been able to find a pair of petite in woman's (my) sizes. I do have one pair I bought almost 2 years ago. In desperation I bought a pair of long ones and figured well I'll just have to buy some shoes/boots with a slight heel to wear with them when I go out. At home I'll just look dumb and roll them up while cleaning toilets.

This brings me to the shoes. Why with all the technology in the world can they not make a comfortable boot or even shoe with a heel that is under $30????? Now I know according to Clinton and Stacy there is such a thing, but I don't have their kind of budget to spend on clothes. My birthday money only added up to $30, not $300. Or is the real problem that I haven't worn a heal in 5 years and forgot how they feel along with how to walk in them? I did buy the most comfortable boot I could find. I really was trying to go for a boot so that I can wear normal socks under it, since I have a bit of a problem keeping other socks matched up.

Now on to Underwear. These jeans I bought are also Low rise. Again not a smart idea for a woman of my size, but on the the original rant. I bought a package of low rise undies to go with them. I'm not a thong person, but in my attempts to try them I found that I do like the fact they are low rise. So I buy my normal size in low rise undies, and they don't stay up. WTF???? Does that mean you have to go a size bigger for low rise? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? It's almost enough to make me wear the thongs, except when Aunt Flo comes visiting.

Somebody help me. I think I'm getting the hairdo thing down with the help of a very talented, and nice looking beauty student named Sam. Now if only I could find a Sam to help with clothes.
