[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 5'10" and I have to say it was around 23/24 when I really started feeling confident and enjoying it.  I was always told I looked like a model, was gorgeous, etc - but I was SO uncomfortable, and self conscious.  I just wanted to be tiny and delicate.  The one upside in my youth was I was very much into sports.  Otherwise it was torture in middle school, better in HS.  Those cute 5'4 girls, I was so envious of them! But once I got to college, guys realllllly started loving the long legs.  Then I just had a shift in mindset where I became more involved with my health, not just being skinny, but running/weights, etc., and aside from helping tone me head to toe (oh could I kill it in a bikini!), the mental benefits were superb.  I began rocking 3" heels (still do 15 years later!), short skirts (pp who said be careful with minis is right - but a cute short skirt was juuuuuust a shade under a scandalous mini for a night out).  My best friend is 5'4" and beautiful, she always had the cutest boyfriends in HS and college.  After college and in our mid-20s she would always complain about how she felt like our baby sister when we went out (we had other tall friends, but I was the tallest) and it was a struggle for her.  I felt like I owned the place pretty much every time I went out in my 20s.

There are still times I feel gargantuan, and that's usually if my weight has starts to creep up, but mostly I don't really notice any more.  It seems women are getting taller and taller.  Did you see the Self spread of Stacy Keibler, George Klooney's GF?  My gosh, those LEGS!  Stunning.

Oh, about the shoes, there are also some very nice mid-size heels that you can wear too, for work.  And yes, yes, on the maxi dresses!  I own several and looooove them and really feel beautiful in them.  EVERY time I wear one (just wore one yesterday) I get sooo many compliments.  I have a friend and she is 6'2" - she is gorgeous - people often remark on her height, but not so much on mine, so funny.  So really, 5'11' is getting pretty mainstream, lol.  ;)

I really think you are at the perfect age to start coming out of your shell about your height - stand up straight, keep your head up, wear those heels!  :)

I loved your experience. I always receive compliments, too. It still scares me wearing even one inch heels but I will try. Thank you for your advices:)[/quote]
