Proper Jeans Length - 11/18/2008

So, I posted about the magic hem trick to shortening jeans. But did I tell ya - I got the length right this time?! I hardly ever get a hemline length right. Ironically, even though I'm short (and I know it) I usually end up with pants cut off or hemmed dorkily short. Who knows why?

Actually at my first retail job (Ralph Lauren) I cut off a pair of jeans I had gotten there way, way too short. I liked them so much though that when they went on the clearance rack I bought them again & made sure to leave a lot of length when I cut the second time.

So, anyway, I have photographic proof that I really hit it this time. Exhibit A & B below:

They break on the instep & almost touch the ground in back but do not. The proper length with heels. I'm pretty chuffed with myself - can you tell?

Also, please note Exhibit C - it's really just there to show you how cute the belt I wore with the outfit was. It's some lo-brand belt I found at Ross but I totally dig it!
