I’m not exactly tall. I’m not exactly short. I’m pretty much average height. However, I seem to have this knack for making friends who are shorter than I am. More specifically, friends who are short and don’t wear heels. So when I showed up to a dinner with my best friend in Kansas City I realized…..”I am totally the Khloe of my friends.” And not in that good, hot way.
Shoes: Zara sold out
Purse: Kate Spade (similar in black)
Why do I say that? Because my friend is pretty much only 5 ft. tall. I am 5 ft. 4 in. and wore four inch heels, making me 5 ft. 8 in. As the hostess is taking us to our table I realized I was nearly a foot taller than she was. I looked at her and she looked up at me. Yes, she had to look up at me. I then sat down at dinner and felt incredibly self conscious because apparently I am a giant in these heels. Or I need taller friends. But new shoes are easier to get.

That is too funny! I have felt kind of avarage my whole entire life, I am 5 feet "3" tall, and I did feel too tall one time in my life at a club. Every guy in there seemed to be way shorter than me, while I was wearing heels. Definitely feels weird. Haha. You do look great in those blue striped heels! Think of yourself as a model next time :)) Have a lovely day!

I am the same height as you and I also have some very petite friends and feel like a giant whenever we go out. I love this outfit and these photos.

Wait until you're my age, and you'll start losing some of those precious inches. I used to be 5'8".Well more like 5' 7&3/4". After my 2 back surgeries I was sure I'd gain at least 2". Instead I lost almost 2" and am now 5' 6". I'm horrified. I feel short. No offense short friends. I feel short and slightly pudgy. Ugh. You on the other hand look adorable, as always. Loving your shoes, and smile as always <3

Funny enough growing up in Haiti I was the short one, but living in South Florida I often have the same issue as you. I am 5'4. You look beautiful.

I'm 5'9' without heels, so we should hang out 😀
Also, I love that top.

I'm in heels 9 times outta 10, so I hear you. But ROCK that height (fake or only made real by pumps) because you look amazing. 🙂

Nah, it's cool, rock those high heels! I love this swingy top, it's so fun!
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest
Ha, you are too funny! Going out with my girlfriends is one of the only times these days that I get to enjoy sky-high heels; my husband and I are JUST barely the same height, and he is a bit self conscious about it … I'm still working on him embracing his inner Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman persona. 🙂
Jessica
Girl, I'm 5 ft. 7 in. without heels on! Embrace that sexy height…but seriously, I avoid heels because of this. You and I just need to do dinner more often 😉

Haha, yea. I'm 5'2" so I'm pretty short! I think you should own the height though! A lot of girls would kill for that 🙂

I love this top! I'm obsessed with pleats right now! And I hate to say it, I'd be one of your short friends. I'm like 5'1"… 5'2" when I'm exaggerating! 😉

I'm only an inch shorter than you, but I feel like I'm always the short one! Maybe we should swap some friends with each other?

That's too funny! I know how you feel… I have a few friends who are taller than me (I'm a little less than 5'10") yeah… these women are like 6 ft. and I like hanging out with them lol and then I have my shorter friends who are like 5'3" – 5'6" and I feel like a giant when I'm around them and wear heels, and definitely not in a good, hot way lol. I just look like a crazy giant woman. But girl, I believe you are the Khole in the good hot way 🙂
Jacy
Oh gosh, I've had that feeling bunches of times. I'm just under 5'9" and adore heels, so I'm pretty accustomed to looking at the top of girls' heads! But what I've realized is that you should just own it! If you like the shoes, don't feel bad or self conscious! Confidence and how you carry yourself are key, so if you're not self conscious about your height or heels, people will admire it! (Btw…LOVE your heels).

The higher the heels the closer to heaven is my motto!! You look great…and if your height is making your friends uncomfortable tell her to wear heels!

I'm 5'7" and I feel the same way whenever I wear heels. Except when I'm teaching. Then I like to be towering over my students. When I do wear heels, though, they're never more than 3". I admire anyone that can do anything more than 3"!
Kari
Ha! I feel like this a LOT of the time! Especially in grade school when I grew before anyone else. At least I schooled the boys in basketball:) I absolutely LOVE those shoes! Looking beautiful as always!

I love those heels! SO cute! Embrace being the tall girl 🙂 you look gorgeous!

One, those heels are amazing. Two, I'm 5'6 without heels and my friends are all closer to your height or shorter so even in sandals I feel like a giant around them!

Oh, at (almost) 5'10", I have always been the Khloe, except for one glorious semester in college when I lived with two girls who were over six feet and still liked heels 😉

You look great! I know what you mean about towering over others (even more true for me when I'm wearing my heels); my motto: stand tall!

Lol, you have to embrace the height! I'm short so I'm always used to looking up at people. And yes, shoes are definitely the easier thing to get. I really like your top and your shoes!

I have one friend who's two inches taller than me, but the rest are five or six inches shorter and I love my four inch heels! Totally understand that!

Wow! I am 5'5" and I feel like I am shorter than most of my friends. How funny!

Haha well you'd be in trouble around me too. Having a short hubby I tend to never wear heels and I'm only 5'2!

Well, considering Khloe is the best Kardashian and you look great that definitely is not a problem at all.

Uhh you were the tall one… that is amazing! That rarely happens for us 5'4" girls (you know, unless you spend a lot of time with kindergarteners…) I don't know that I have ever been the tall one, except my 4th grade year because I had a growth spurt before most everyone else. And then they all caught up with me… Can I have those shoes?

Yeah, let's go with the new shoes…it's so much more fun. Plus I'm vertically challenged so there's that.

I'm only 5'1" so I'm definitely always the short one. I love wearing heels though and yours are amazinggggg. Love.

I run into this a bit with my husband actually–I'm 5'6", and he's 5'8", so whenever I wear any sort of heel, I'm taller than he is! He does NOT appreciate that.
Marie
Haha! I am Kourtney. Love your top.

And here I am feeling short at 5'6". I guess that's what I get for living in a place where everyone is taller than me. I laughed at that last line, new shoes are certainly easier. Love this outfit, those shoes are too cute!

I'm such a shortie, not a single one of my friends or family members is shorter than me. You saw me with my sister in the other post, even in heels I can not compete. I suppose I could buy taller ones, but I also value my ability to walk.

You're definitely at your adorable best in this ensem….love how the cobalt blue is so awesome with your skin tone! The pleated top is awesome and so are those heels! BTW Alissa…I'm already following you at Twitter….hope you could follow back so we could keep tabs on each other's style!!

This is so beautiful and classy. The to is amazing and I adore your shoes.

LOL – as an actually tall person, I can totally relate. And I used to wear 3-4in heels on the regular. But somehow I am surrounded by other tall women. A lot of my co-workers are over 5'8" and several of my close friends are, too. So I don't feel like a giant all the time anymore! Unless I'm hanging out with my in-laws who are all super petite, and then I am huge.

No no no, Khloe is one hot mama! She rocks & embraces the tall look exactly what you should do! If you love your heels keep wearing because I definitely think you look gorgeous!

Haha, I can relate! 😀 I'm only 164cm, but my friends are even shorter than me, so if I'm wearing heels it's kind of awkward 😀
Love the ensemble though, and I say screw length, wear whatever the hell you want! 😛

Own it lady – as the perpetually short one in my friends group, I would love to know what that feels like for one day!

Hahahaha I am FOR SURE the Khloe of my friends. I'm at least 5 inches taller and 5 sizes bigger than almost all of them. I'm not quite sure why I gravitated towards tiny friends, but I guess I'll wear my giantness proudly.

Bhahah! I'm the Khloe in my group, too. My friends are all average height or my height but I always end up wearing heels and towering over everyone. Hence why I always wear flats to interviews…
