Good Morning!

Actually, by the time this hits the Internet it’ll be around 12ish EST. I had an outdoor yoga sesh at 6 this morning aka stupid o’clock for yoga and it was glorious! But I have rants…I think my biggest pet peeve with outdoor yoga is the dewy grass. I’m probably the only one sitting there grumbling about putting my mat on wet grass. I dwell on it so much that I’ll get home and proceed to bitch about it to my boyfriend (and I’ll text my sister about it and my best friend) “The grass was wet…it made my mat wet…it was sort of slimy…” He literally sits there rubbing my back, nodding, and “mmm hmms” at me and which point he proceeds to ask, “Did you absolutely die because of it?” And I realize, wow, I’m kind of ridiculous!

High maintenance girl problems.

My other rant is wraps! I hate you wraps…!

I particularly hate you Athleta Harmony Wrap! You make me look like Professor Snape! Which I’m not complaining about because when I grow up I wouldn’t mind pursuing a career in the dark arts but for after yoga you make me look ridiculous.

I see all these glamorous woman at yoga shrugging into their wraps after a session and they look so chic and here I am with it dragging behind me. I’m tempted to wave my wand at all those women and shout Evanesco!

WHY ARE YOU SO LONG WRAP and why am I so short? Leggings aren’t the only issue we short girls have! We need better wraps too dammit!

I swear all us short people are starting a petition to demand better wraps that don’t look like wizarding robes and leggings that actually fit without 2 feet more of fabric.

Who’s with me?

🙂

Fashion rant over.

Have a wonderful day you beautiful short and tall humans!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I’m guessing they don’t have petite sizes.. Probably not plus either.

    • Isabella Muse

      they have extended sizes up to 3x but with wraps even in a petite size I always feel they drag on me 🙁 Any recs?

      • Michelle

        Sorry, I’m on the plus side of sizes, not petite. Happy hunting!

        • Isabella Muse

          I actually replied above 🙂 they have up to 3x extended sizes ;-D

  • kjh

    They’ve done fairly good job extending the world of base product colors and have some extended shoe sizes, but clothes, esp ‘active wear?’ Not unless it’s a specialty line. Kind of solved the pants issue. My old bf called my sizing ‘petite extra stout’. and petite does tend to run skinny per size. Tall crops. Just about ankle pants on this vertically challenged individual. Boy, do I hate PC speech. You can’t even say short person any more!

    • Isabella Muse

      Active wear can be a pain for a shorter person imho! Especially sweats and leggings! Also, always find sports bras aren’t always a perfect fit for a short torso. Shrug. Oh..I don’t think anyone minds short person!? Do they!? Seems we are all very sensitive lately and everything is taken out of context 🙁

    Yea, wraps always seem like the are a decent length until I try to go up and down stairs. I almost tripped once at work.

    Maybe a kid’s wrap? I can’t try it for you, though, since I have a larger chest size.

    • Isabella Muse

      I just want one that goes to my butt but now all the way down to my ankles! Thankfully no tripping but the way it drags makes me look like I’m wearing a robe. I dunno if a kids would fit tbh!

  • Fey

    I’ve never tried Athleta! I see their petite Pranayama Wrap (back=30″) is 7″ shorter than their (regular) Harmony Wrap. I don’t know if that one would be any better T_T. Would a waterfall cardigan be similar enough? I see more search results for those. I hope you find the perfect wrap you love!

    • Isabella Muse

      The Pranayama Wrap is actually really not bad! I have one but I don’t like the fabric! It’s a bit too thin! I tend to like it once size back/front so not too into that short front/long back thing! Thanks lovie 😉

  • Linda Whitener

    With you all the way, Muse! When I was a kid, everyone thought I’d end up tall and thin like my Dad’s family – but instead I’m short and round like Mom’s family. ☹️Most of the time I just deal with it…but shopping for clothes is a pain in the a**. I wish I could attach a photo to this post…have you seen the picture of Grogu captioned “Me looking up at the shelves I still can’t reach as a grown adult, because I’m still short as crap”�? I feel that way two or three times a week.

    • Isabella Muse

      awww I feel ya my love! I’m short and fluffy! Oh well! LOL i have to look that one up! I didn’t see that meme! That’s pretty much me too!

  • MDW

    I buy my five feet tall self the largest size leggings which become the best fitting trousers.
    Hijack husband’s tops which become the best mini dresses.

    • Isabella Muse

      ha! that’s a good idea with your husband’s tops!

  • Marti

    I am SO with you! 5’1″ here and I always look like I borrowed my mother’s wraps and I’m tired of it.
