Vertically Challenged and a Whole Lotta Yellow

What I Wore
These photos turned out grainy. Maybe a photo expert can tell me why?

I love this purse so much, I kiss it a few times a day {true story}.
Dress: Victoria’s Secret catalog, Cardigan: Gap, Belt: Forever 21, Shoes: Target, Purse: c/o Hobo International, Watch: Fossil Outlet, Necklace: c/o Lisa Leonard Designs, Nail Polish: OPI the “it” color.
So are you now noticing my height in relation to the couch?
And is it making you realize just how short I really am? 
And now you’re wondering my exact height.
So this is where I tell you that I am 4’10 and 3/4.
And you’re like: woah, I no idea she was that short
And I’m like: Yeah I am, and I don’t even need a special seat to drive.
And you’re like: Ok, cuz I was just about to ask that.
And I’m like: Enough about my height–what about all the different shades of yellow I am trying to incorporate into this outfit.
And you’re like: Well, I wasn’t going to say anything, but now that you mention it…

    You're the perfect height for me!!!
    We snuggle well together ;)

    They're grainy cause your ISO is too high. BRING ME YOUR MANUAL AND I WILL FIX IT FOR YOU! I'm subtle, aren't I?

  2. Nicolette @ Momnivore's Dilemma says:

    We are in the 5 foot and under club. 4'11" here!

    :)

  3. Woah. I am a whole foot and 1/4" taller (5'11). Scary.

  4. Jade Steckly says:

    I love the shades of yellow. And I love your throw pillows…even though I'm not normally a fan of throw pillows!
    Do you think I could pull off the "white couch" with four young daughters? Hmmm…

  5. Real Housewives of Oklahoma says:

    Girl you & I could be besties.
    I'm 4'10" as well :)
    Thought I was 4'11" for years & I'm just under.
    You are A-dorable!!!

  6. Must get that nail polish! and I bought the "keep calm" pillow! Can't wait to get it! Lookin good girl ;)

  7. {Shaped by Grace} says:

    LOL – I love this post! Too funny. My sister is 5'2 with shoes on and when I {5'7"} went over to her house I had to smile at her kitchen: NOTHING was on the top shelves of her upper cupboards – because she couldn't reach. :) But, I guess the grass is always greener because I always wanted to be short. :)
    PS – I also have to say I love your style! :) I'm a mustache necklace owner & I have those same yellow shoes!! :) :) Have a great day!
    xo, Reannah

  8. One can never wear too much yellow. ALSO: one shade is just never enough. i found that "it" color last time i went in for a pedi & mani…but i was nervous to try it out (apparently i don't follow my own yellow rules ;-) but you rock it and you rock that "small stuff" too!

  9. I love your style! I've been searching for something cute in yellow but haven't found anything yet. Off to look around your blog more! Your newest follower, Jenn :)

  10. Laliete says:

    from one vertically challenged mommy to another: you look beautifull and sunny!

  11. Maria-Isabel @ Agape Love Designs says:

    OH my gosh.. im cracking up over that "convo" between "us" hahahaha

    You are seriously too cute… and funny too. :) Thank you for that. I needed a laugh.

    OH and here is a funny for you. Did you know you that the height for a legal midget is 4'10? You miss that by just 3/4! haha I say this, NOT to make fun of you.. but because my baby sister (well she isnt a baby she is 21.. but I still call her my baby sister lol) is 4'10 and we joke about it all the time that she is a legal midget. :) haha

    Anyways… LOVE all the yellow with the purple and grey. You are always gorgeous. :)

  12. Consider The Lilies says:

    ohh i just love this room so much and the one of you sitting on the couch is so pretty! all the colors mesh so well against the white couch/walls :)

    oh P.S. the grain comes from your ISO being too high most likely :) I generally try and shoot at 200 for the best quality!

  13. I have exactly the same height as you!

    In France, we say that everything that is small is cute. Well. We're cute ;) And we worth it!

  14. DieselMonkey says:

    I love my hobo purse. I have a red clutch with purple lining. I love it and will mourn the day it finally falls apart (5 yrs of use so far).

  15. Love the look and that fab clutch bag, it is so nice to find other petites out there I got to 5ft but I am sure the shrinking has begun. Wonderful cushions by the way, great fabrics. Have a lovely week. axx

  16. CaseyWiegand says:

    you are beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Love all the colors you mix. And don't think I haven't already been scouring the Hobo website to find that purse! :) Love it!!

  18. Barbara says:

    Love the outfit! I've just started to get into yellow (:

    A family friend of ours is a little shorter than you. One day when she was in the grocery a lady came up and asked her "How tall you is?" Just like that. Now that you've told us, I don't need to ask you ;)

  19. DaenelT says:

    Love the outfit and the varying shades of yellow. Just too cute.

  20. Annie @ Wattlebird says:

    Yellow is my absolute favorite, and I love all the pillows and artwork behind you!

  21. Jessica says:

    Too cute :)

    Your ISO on your camera was too high. If you're using it on Manual you'll just have a slight fix in the menu for that…it needs to be 400 or below for natural light photos. I will be you it was 800 or above on these. If you're using it on Auto without a flash then it corrected itself to try and overcompensate for the lack of light…either way, fixable :)

  22. melbry15 says:

    I've only got 2 inches on you! Don't worry, confidence can make you seem a lot taller! You look at least 6ft to me! I love how the new living room looks! I wish I was brave enough for white. I still cringe about my tan couches!

  23. Monica Whitney says:

    Oh! The dress! The Yellow! The hair! The pillow! I just love it all so much.

    By the way. I love the white couch. I've always wanted one. But, I'm afraid to purchase one with children in my near future (no, that is not an announcement). Do you ever wish you didn't have a white couch with your little one running around?

    Ask the Duplex

  24. Lindsay says:

    I LOVE your new living room. Its so fresh and airy. And I LOVE you too! EXP your height :)

  25. Clearly - April says:

    This will so make your day – I am only 4'9 and 3/4" so you are taller than me!! It's okay you can smile – I make people feel better about their height all the time, lol!!!

  26. Jessica says:

    man, I wonder what it's like to be that tiny! I'm 5'8.5…Sometimes, I wish I was shorter especially around all my short sisters and friends!

  27. Linda Z says:

    I love all the yellow… and your pillows and humor are darling. :)

  28. Nothing wrong with a little purse smooching, right? I mean, if the purse is asking for it, who should judge?

    Love this outfit. I knew I had eyeballed that dress before. I think it looks better on 4'10 than 6'.

  29. Tracy J says:

    I love you and your site! I think your great and I think your tall! haaa Im 4'9 so I feel your pain! Keep up the great work, and I too want to know, how in the world you keep a white couch with a little one????? PLEASE TELL!

  30. zoo keeper says:

    Most days I'd rather be short then tall so work it girl! LOVE the pillows!

  31. I know you've heard by now that your ISO setting is what caused the grain, but if you drop it down, then it would probably be too dark in the photo….unless you had LOTS of natural light.

  32. the pleated poppy says:

    wait a minute! didn't you JUST move? how on earth is your house so cute already?

  33. I get the same comments all the time! Hahaha. High five from your size twin. ;-)

  34. Tamera Beardsley says:

    Beautiful post!

  35. Alysson says:

    you are so adorable!! I love how you had a mini convo with us- by you! I am on the other height spectrum…6'0 and I usually get the looks like…why is she wearing heals?! haha :)
    Love the yellow! It's adorable on you. XO

    http://simplicityisultimatesophistication.wordpress.com/

  36. so if i stood by you… i would look like a GIANT. i am 5'7 or so flat footed. but wearing heals i can be around 5'10. ha.

    and i am LOVING that bag. super cute.

  37. You are hilarious! LOVE this post xx and your living room, to.die.for

  38. Love the pillows!

    I'm in the under 5' club too! I'm a teeny 4'11"! I'm so happy to see that there a bunch of us tiny ladies and we all read your blog!

  39. Will and Abby says:

    You are too cute and funny. I'm not much taller- just 5'1'' over here. There are certain advantages to being small though, such as feeling like a ninja in the supermarket when an aisle is crazy full and you can just walk in and squeeze past everyone. Or maybe that's just me ;)

  40. Christine - Tutorial Addict lol says:

    That purse is TOTALLY kissable :) LOVE the yellow & LOL at the commentary!

  41. ilene @ muchloveilly says:

    you are soooo gorgeous, friend – love this outfit!

  42. ilene @ muchloveilly says:

    you are soooo gorgeous, friend – love this outfit!

  43. You are soooo cute! Reading your blog always makes me happy (unless, of course, it's a sad post).

  44. Lil Mama Stuart says:

    did you say NO to auto yet? High ISO = grainy pics.

    How did you have time to make stuff for your shop with the move!? Good job momma!

  45. the domestic fringe says:

    Love your outfit and your home! Great pillows.

    -Fringegirl

  46. your wishcake. says:

    Okay, so, the mini-conversation about your height totally made me giggle over here. You are adorable.

    And I've been in love with those shoes for ages! Wish I could have snagged some from Target before they sold out. My puffy, pregnant feet need some new flats, yo.

    :)

  47. Bluebird Kisses says:

    haha this post is really cute. I actually did not know you were 4'10 and 3/4! And by the way I love the pillows, they're really lovely.

  48. I absolutely love the outfit! Love!

  49. Stephanie says:

    Of course you're a shorty…all my best girlfriends are short : ) (Yeah-you prob didn't know you were one of my best girlfriend's : ) HA

    Love the outfit. Loved it even more when you admitted your love affair with your purse : )

    The pillows are adorable!

  50. Girl of The Grove says:

    You are a shorty ; )
    I'm 5'2", so I feel your pain. lol
    Cute dress!

  51. A Little Lea says:

    Love the bag… found it on Hobo's site. The Candis http://www.hobobags.com/Candis/pd/np/388/p/1783.html It is on SALE too!

  52. omgoodness, i was just telling a friend this weekend that i need a "keep calm and carry on" sign in my kitchen! LOVE IT!

  53. Loving the colors in that floral pillow!!! And I love your dress, too.

    Did your ISO get bumped up accidentally? That can cause noise. Aperture can come into play too. Do you know what f-stop you had it set at?

  54. Lexie Loo & Dylan Too says:

    Cute outfit!!!
    My mom is 4'10" and my 6 year old is almost as tall as her now!

  55. Lexie Loo & Dylan Too says:

    Cute outfit!!!
    My mom is 4'10" and my 6 year old is almost as tall as her now!

  56. Jessica @ Barefoot by the Sea says:

    Lovely outfit and room. Oh, and I love, love, LOVE that floral pillow!

  57. Zsa Zsa says:

    Looking absolutely fabulous, Ashley! Loving yellow lately…it's so fun, fresh and cheery! Those pillows are adorable too. :)

  58. Elizabeth says:

    Love the set up of your living room. And will most likely be visiting your shop for some pillows in the very near future. I just moved as well, so once I figure out the color scheme for our living room I may need to get a couple of your awesome pillows!

  59. 3miraclebabies says:

    My goodness you are adorable! I'm 4'10 and 1/2 however, I rarely wear flats I'm always wearing wedges. My husband cracks up because I even wear wedges to the park. Most everywhere but the gym. He's like even with three inch heals you are still petite why do you bother. Anyway, we should have a 5 foot and under club or blog where we could all collaborate on petite fashion. A bit like Cory's blog.

    • OMG! I am 4’10 too!! I always lie and say 4’11 (like that makes such a difference!). Sometimes I love being short and sometimes I hate it! Especially when people try to joke and call me a midget etc…I find it so offensive! I think us girls are always hung up about something anyway. Too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny etc…Anyway I would love a blog for us petite ladies, I think that’s a great idea. Please keep me posted, I’ll join in a sec!

  60. Dashing Tales says:

    I too am short (4'11 on a good day).

    Thank you for always inspiring me! I too hope I can make my blog mean something to someone, they way yours as to me! Keep on writing. :)

  61. Love this outfit! and I love the montage you put at the end! Super funny! I had the same prob with my ISO! I got the hubs to fix it! (:

  62. [Kelly] says:

    Love the post! I'm really short too! ;] & I LOVE the PEACE pillow!!

  63. You're not short, you're fun-sized!!! :) And so gorgeous too!

  64. hotpants™ says:

    My mom is 4 foot 11 and a half inches. She takes that half to the bank. Ha! I'm five foot five. Thankfully, my dad's tall so I got a little bit of his height.

  65. Tabitha@InspiredByGiving says:

    You look soooo pretty in these! And I just love the color combo of your pillows and the gallery wall is soo cute! okay, I'm gushing!

  66. Jeanine Byers Hoag says:

    I'm vertically challenged, too! :)

    Great pillows and I like your outfit. I have no idea what would make a pic look grainy, though.

    Followed you here from Real Momma, Real Style.

  67. PeaceLoveApplesauce says:

    yellow makes me happy. :)

  68. Rainbow Bekah says:

    Are you kidding me right now?! How gorgeous are you?! And your living room looks straight out of a magazine, love love!

  69. Kristin says:

    Love your outfit! I am also loving your sofa and wall of art/pictures.

  70. I just found your blog and was reading a few older posts and found this.

    LOL! I am 5'0…just barely! I was 4'11.5 (that .5 was so important!) for FOREVER. Now I'm a whopping 5'0. And married to a 6'2+ guy. :) I always loved those old married couples with the little bitty wife and really tall husband…we will BE that couple one day! LOL

  71. Super cute outfit and pillows. I am a little jealous of your height cause dresses and skirts on me tend to be a just a tad to short and I am constantly worrying about “things” showing when I am chasing my kiddies around church.
