I feel like I pretty much have the most awkward body ever to shop for. I’m sure as you read this, you’re going, girrrrllll, me too!. That’s because we are all unique and that’s beautiful!
My fit dilemma, is I’m terribly short, like under 5 foot. But, I have the hips of a much taller girl, or so I like to tell myself. No matter how skinny I may be, the majority of any weight I carry is in my bottom. So, when it comes to finding a good pair of pants, they are either too long or too tight in the hips, but loose everywhere else, etc. etc.
I’ve tried on pants at nearly every store I can think of, including Old Navy. In the past, Old Navy’s pants ran too large for me and weren’t a possibility. However, Erica recently grabbed a pair of black denim from there and I loved them so much, I decided to give Old Navy another try. I ordered a pair of their Mid-Rise Rockstar Jeans in distressed black and I also ordered a pair of Mid-Rise Pixie Pants in Ankle. I ordered both online because well…we’ve talked about shopping with children. When that little package came in the mail…I was pleasantly surprised.
They both fit! Nearly perfectly. The Rockstar Jeans have a raw hem, so I think I just lucked out because it makes them a little shorter than their typical jeans, so they may be more of an ankle length on an average height girl, but for me they are perfect! Perfect in the hips, waist and length, the trifecta! Now, I feel like I basically have to dry clean my $20.00 Old Navy pants if I want to keep them from fading and falling apart, but that’s ok, I’m willing to do that, haha!
The other pair, the ankle Pixie Pants, were also perfect. I wore them here. They were also an ankle length, so probably intended to show a little more ankle than they do on me, but who’s watching!
So, for any other height/hip/thigh challenged girls out there like me, give Old Navy another try, you may be pleasantly surprised!

Hi short friend! I would have never known you were under 5′. I’m only 5’2″ myself. #shortgirlproblems. Have a great day! I love this green under the cream. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’ve got the opposite problem I’m 5’10 and I also have great luck with Old Navy jeans and pixie pants!!

Oh my goodness….would not have realized you were under 5 foot!! I have the opposite problem..on 5’7″ but really, really long legs. Looks like you hit the jackpot with this pair. Loving the green on you too!
The distressed jeans look great on you! It’s awesome when you find a brand and style that work for you, isn’t it? I’m petite too so I LOVE ankle/cropped and 7/8 styles as it means I don’t have to hem them, haha!
Hope you are having a wonderful week 🙂 Thank you for the link up

Loving those black distressed jeans. I love the Rockstar brand from ON. I also love that bright green plaid shirt with that sweater that is shaped like a blazer! So stylish!

Old Navy’s Rockstar and Pixie pants are awesome! They stepped it up with these fits. I love ankle length because they can be a little on the shorter side or on the longer side and still work for a variety of heights. That pair looks amazing on you!
I have and love Old Navy denim too. You definitely look like a rockstar!

Hahaha I have the exact opposite problem. I’m 5 ft. 8 in. and when bell bottoms were popular, the used to be so short on me unless I got ones that came in long. Now with skinny jeans and boots, I’ve been able to avoid that for the last 5 years.

I really like these distressed jeans with the cozy sweater and plaid shirt! I own 2-3 pairs of ON Rockstar jeans because they fit so well. I also always try to go for ankle length so they look like normal jeans. 🙂
Those jeans do fit you perfectly! Love them on you! Be careful when washing your Pixie Pants though. They can’t be thrown in the dryer or they shrink up! I made the mistake of washing them without reading the label first.
I so in love with your plaid shirt <3

Those look fantastic! I can never find ripped jeans that rip in all the right places, usually the ripped knee is more like a ripped shin, haha 🙂
Love the post, you are stunning

Its amazing when you find a garment that fits so well.. I am still looking for a raw hem pair of trousers that fit..
Love the pixie ankle pants – I actually have the red ones on now – haha! Haven’t tried their rockstars jeans but you’re definitely inspiring me to try them out! You look fabulous in the distressed jeans and love how you’ve styled it with the plaid shirt & sweater. Thanks for hosting 🙂

The Old Navy Rockstar is my fave jean! I just got the kind with the built in sculpt yesterday, and good lord they make my legs look amazing! I’m glad you had luck there because I really enjoy their work pants and jeans.

I struggle with jeans too because if they fit in the waist they’re usually too tight on the thigh. I tend to stick with Gap jeans although the sizing does vary a lot from style to style. I love this look – the green shirt is really nice.

It’s such a struggle to find the perfect pair! I should try Gap again, I tried them years ago and couldn’t find a good fit, but Old Navy did a turn around on me, so maybe Gap did too!
I need to try those!!! I saw them online and was thinking anything with sculpt built in has to be fabulous!
Thanks so much Roxanne!! I wish I had given them a chance sooner!
Thanks so much Marta!! They are currently my favorite pair!
The pixie pants are so so cute!! I want a red pair!
It is! It can be so hard to find that perfect pair!
Thanks so much!
haha!! Yes!! That is totally me!
Thank you so much Rosie! 🙂
Aw thanks Kelsey!
Thanks so much Jodie-Kay!
I am a peanut!! I never feel small, until it comes time to buy clothes or I stand by someone who was blessed with height like Erica! haha!
Thanks so much girl!!
Thanks for the tip Amy! I’ve been using Dryel on mine because I was so afraid of ruining them, the just fit so perfect!
I am on a mission to build my collection now! I feel like there’s not turning back to other jeans!
Thanks so much Rachael! My second try of them really impressed me!
Being short, I never thought of that! I’m always thinking it must be so great to be tall, everything must fit!
Definitely! Going to start my stock pile now!
Thanks Amy!
They really are great! Thanks Laura!
Thanks so much Shauna!
Thanks Rachel! You should check them out again!
Thanks so much Carrie!
Yes! I try to avoid getting anything hemmed as much as possible, but of course being so short, it has to happen often!
Luckily pictures don’t give away my height! haha. I would love to have long legs!! Thanks Shelly! 🙂
Thanks so much Jill!
Yay!! I’m glad my pictures hide my height, haha!
It’s the best! Thanks Ingrid!
haha! Thanks Andrea!
That’s awesome!! I love that they fit a range of sizes, go Old Navy!
yep! #shortgirlproblems all day! haha! Thanks Carrie! 🙂
Not two pairs of Old Navy pants (same size, style, same exaxt pants even) fit/are made the same. I have both Pixies and Rockstars but I had to try on several pairs till the right ones. I need some black distressed jeans so these are perfect. Great casual Holiday look, Brooke!
