Not really. Size 6/8 (vanity sizing) on a 5'1" frame is very different from size 6/8 on a 5'9" frame.

Yes, really, and you just proved it once again. A size 6/8 on a 5'9" frame = eating disorder.

Your idea of eating disorder is out of whack. 6/8 on a 5'9" frame is perfectly acceptable, but a size 0/2 on that frame would cause alarm.

And how tall are you, honey?

5'4"...why?

Nope. Some looks / styles / people are anti-heel. Take that sexist crap somewhere else.

Nope, sorry, I won't. If she wasn't asking for opinions, she didn't need to post. Heels would look much better than flats for her.

Agree. Heels will elongate her legs which she desperately needs. Whether she is wearing pants, jeans, dresses, she needs heels.

Disagree. I always prefer the look of flats. Heels may make her look longer, but not everyone prefers that aesthetic.

Some people prefer the aesthetic of short stumpy legs? Huh?

Some of us don't need heels to have good looking legs. Sucks to be you, huh?

Stop foisting hell-heels on people who don't want to wear them.

Actually no, it's great to be me. 5'9" and awesome legs in or out of heels

Me:
31
5'1" 130lbs (still losing baby weight from my 10 month old)
Size 6 or 8 depending on brand, usually petite

Brown hair currently cut to chin length with subtle layers, don't color but no grey whatsoever

Wear glasses everyday; not super trendy (eg Warby Parker), just brown plastic rectangular frames

Wear wedding ring and engagement ring (1.5 carat emerald cut solitaire) every day

Always wear basic, light makeup (primer, bb cream, concealer, blush, shadow, eye liner, mascara)

Get my eyebrows waxed every 4 weeks

Typical work outfit (business casual, director level position)

Silk opaque t-shirt (Ann Taylor)
Navy pencil skirt (theory)
Tortoise shell scalloped flats (Sam Edelman)
Pearl studs
Delicate chain necklace
Tissot watch
Navy Michael Kors Selma bag

(Note: very rarely wear heels; wouldn't be caught dead in pantyhose)

Typical weekend outfit:

Skinny jeans (Paige denim)
Solid color tshirt (Everlane)
Chucks
Pearl studs
Plain black leather (no logos) Coach shoulder bag

Thoughts? What should I change?

Boring

Lose the weight and even a plain white t-shirt and jeans will look good on you. You could wear the most expensive clothes but if you are not fit, then you are not looking good.

It's so interesting how much variation there is in body types. I'm 5'3" (if I stand up reeeeallllyyyy straight!), and weigh 130. I'm a size 2-4. Smaller in the waist, thicker in the thighs But I workout almost daily and have a more "fit" frame.

I am leaning towards not believing you.

If that is true, why are you such a miserable person that you feel the need to tell others what they need to do to look attractive in your (unwanted, shitty) opinion and why would you say things to other people to make them feel bad about themselves?

So, you are not 5'9" and you have no idea what it is like to be in a 5'9" body.

Regardless, at any height there are a range of weights and sizes that are healthy and fine. What a bunch of harpies you are.

Boring. MK and Coach? Sam Edelman? Not even worth calling out.

Confusing too. Pearls and chucks ... Just why?

Asking if you're classy but you don't wear heels and wouldn't be caught dead in hose? Um, at 5'1" heels and hose could do wonders to elongate your body, you might want to try it.

I wish I could remember which book this was, but there's a whole scene in a Milan Kundera novel where the college student protagonist goes with his older girlfriend to a bar, and is humiliated that she is wearing heels when all the women his age are in flats. It marks her as being old and dowdy, that she is in formal shoes, while the others are in their youthful footwear.

Point being that not everyone looks great in heels and sometimes flats are better.
