Well, even though I'm rather taller (5' 8.5") I love my heels, when I'm able to wear them.  My vertically challenged friends hate it when I do, because then I'm a giant, but sometimes, a girl's just got to have fun.   It's funny, my Granddad was only 5' 2"...and every time he saw me (especially in my heels) he say, "My God, I'm a pygmy!", to which I would always reply, "No Grandpa, I'm an Amazon."  Still makes me smile to think of it.   He was very like James Cagney...even the swagger.
I have a friend who is petite like you, and she has the same problem with finding clothes suitable for a woman, especially work clothes.  She does take advantage of the sales in the kids department when it comes to jeans & T's though.  Figures she might as well find something good out of her frustration.

I have super hearing....ask my son I can hear him getting into trouble a mile away
I would also like to join the petite persons club, I am 5'3" (My husband is 6'1"!!).
As for clothes and shoes, I love them both. However, I am very very picky. I typically won't wear anything with the designers name where it can be seen- I just think it sucks to pay lots of $$ for something so I can advertise for someones company! I have a lot of problems finding clothes that fit me because although I am short, I am we will say "top-heavy." I have never been able to buy a two-piece set of anything!!! And I must have a terribly popular pants size because every time I look for pants, they have all the sizes below and above in petite but rarely my size. When I find a brand, I tend to stick with it- there are only two brands of jeans I find fit me properly and thats Levi's and Old Navy.

I do a lot of my shopping online right now because living in the UK on an American salary is EXPENSIVE. Everything costs me twice as much as in the states! For example, I bought my son school pants(he goes to a British school and has to wear a uniform) at one of the local Gaps- they were £18 which translates to $36 when I can buy them in the states for $18. Luckily I have an APO box (which is considered an American address) as well as a British address so shipping is always good for me no matter what country I buy from

Anyone have plans for the weekend? I am having my sons 9th b-day party Saturday afternoon and then about 2 hours after that ends I have to attend the Kahki Ball (formal dinner for the military E-7 plus). I am going to be so tired!!!!

gypsiegirl66

Well, I guess I'll have to be careful when I'm telling any secrets around you. (not to worry as part of the giggle box you'll most likely be hearing them all).
I hear you about finding clothes that fit, and I know all about that EU (sorry no key on my home puter). It's especially hard, when you children are growing leaps and bounds out of their clothes. Hope you have a great time at the Kahki Ball, enjoy getting all dressed up and having an evening away from the little ones w/ your hubby  

gypsiegirl66

Whahhhh!!!  You all left me alone, all day......sniffle, sniffle  I don't even have someone to hand me a tissue!!

dognxtdoor

I thought I would buy you one of these, for those times when no one is around to hand you a tissue.....

waterlilybarb

Dan, you old dog, you.  Aren't you the sweetie...and such an attractive gift too.  A girl could wear it with any outfit.

Hey there little chica, sorry I missed you yesterday.  I'll be in and out today, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.  
In the mean time:  

gypsiegirl66

Oh my goodness, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard,

Thank you Dan, Someday when I finally learn to use photobucket, I'll definitely be repaying you for that gift!! I will absolutely be the, "talk of the town now"..........It's so good to know you're always thinking of me!!

Geeze Barb, I hope you had someone cute to help you out of that...........LOL

waterlilybarb

Well, my cats are cute...they gnawed me out.

gypsiegirl66

You guy's are crazy cooks, it's so good to know that I'm loved!!
                               I love you guy's too!!!

gypsiegirl66

Yep, I just followed the instructions you PM'd a while ago and it was pretty easy. Once I figured out where everything was. Thanks for your help.......YAY for me!!!

waterlilybarb

Look at you go!  You'll be unstoppable now.   I knew you'd figure it out, and for sure...YAY for you!

I'm logging out, as I'm almost falling asleep as I type.  Have a good night, and catch you when I can.

p.s. I finished SG Atlantis today.  Now I'm ready for the season premiere.  Next week will be great!  So many shows are premiering...it's better than chocolate.
