SHORT AND SWEET TIPS
1. Show more skin.
TheStyleVoyager: “Show more skin. It’s all about showing the ‘right amount of skin’ for me. So most of the time I wear something with super low neckline – given I’m not anything close to curvy – to visually elongate the body.”

I guess I could do all of them but #1. I'm never comfortable in v-necks or tops with plunging necklines.
I'm 5 foot myself - I don't really worry about looking taller, since most people seem to like it, and it surprises them when I'm 5 years older than they think ;)
In fact, I have these 5 inch pumps (that I adore), and I dislike wearing them 'cause they make me three inches taller :(
Lol I'm 5'1" and I try to do all of these things - mostly I just wear tall heels. :)
Any girl who uses methods to look taller is cheating in my book.
I do all of this!!
Definitely DIY!
@Chibi_Son_Gokou@xanga - you've probably never been 5 foot then T_T
@xsPoNgEs_go_SQUISHx13@xanga - Can't say I have. Are you trying to be taller so you can see over people, or so you will appear more attractive to men? If it is the latter, I would check your level of insecurity.
@Chibi_Son_Gokou@xanga - neither! being taller comes with a an air of confidence being short makes hard to attain. it's the same problem for short guys.
@xsPoNgEs_go_SQUISHx13@xanga - True. Although there are tall people who have no confidence :P
@Chibi_Son_Gokou@xanga - also true :P but i mean, which person are you more likely to take seriously on first glance; the tall person or the short person?
@xsPoNgEs_go_SQUISHx13@xanga - the short person T__T. guys like petite girls. at least where I'm from, guys love petite girls. tall girls are meh. ._.
@Asianrockgurl@xanga - but to be taken seriously in a professional setting? tall wins, hands down, unfortunately :/ and no, i know. guys like short girls where i'm from too, but guys are also hard-headed, competitive, and honestly disrespectful in the office here as well.
haha, looking taller doesnt make u taller, unless you're wearing heels of course :P
the air is fresher up here!
LOL just kiddinggggg (maybe :P)
