I’M WEARING >> Dress: Zara | Boots: Jimmy Choo | Bracelet: Hermes | Lace top: Zara (old) | Bag: Jimmy Choo | Rings: Tom Wood
As you see these photos you might be thinking to yourself; Jesus Christ! This girl has freakishly long legs!!! Funny story though; these legs were serious cause for bullying at school when I was little, I hated my long legs, I hated being tall and I remember my mother telling me: Andrea listen to me, one day when you are old enough you will realize that long legs aren’t a curse. Ok, at the time I thought my mom was COMPLETELY wrong, as all of us do when we are starting puberty and we want to look exactly like our friends. I grew up in Mexico and by age 13 I was already around 1.70cm tall, which meant back of the line -every single time-, I was taller than all the boys at school, I unsuccessfully searched for jeans long enough to fit me and I seriously resented the fact that I was so tall. By the time I was 18 years old I was already my current height ( 1.80 cm ), but by this age the bullying for my long legs had luckily dialed down and I was dating my high school sweetheart who was not only extremely handsome, but also a lot shorter than me ( and I really hope he is not reading this right now, or ever! ).
The thing is, whenever I get compliments about my legs nowadays I always have to go back to those days when I was bullied for the exact same thing and I smile about the things my mom used to tell me, about being older and realizing this was actually a good thing. I CANNOT believe how stupid I was for not accepting myself the way I was but hey, puberty is a messed up time for all of us. A few years later, my legs are my favorite part of my body which I find ironic and all I have left to say is; Mom, you were right…
Accept yourself the way you are! you never know if your biggest flaws will one day become your biggest assets ;)

I was always one of the tall kids at school too, I could bullied something terrible. It’s horrid how cruel kids can be. Funny how things we hated back then can be things we love now. Love your boots btw

I loved your speech! and yes, we have to be thankful for who we are!
It’s amazing how we can grow to love our flaws and appreciate what we have – I’m happy with my figure now after some struggle and I thank my mother for some blessed shape up top! Hahah

WOW those legs!! I had the same problem with my ears and almost went to surgery but luckily I didn’t! Now they’re my favorite part of my body.

Your long legs are part of who you are, they are you. Love the boots and love how they make your legs look even longer, cheers my dear!

Hey Andy, I always notice while reading your posts that you have the height measurements complete wrong. Its either 180 cm or 1.80 m. If you were 1.80 cm than you would be probably the size of a dime ;-) Sorry, I just have to tell you this. Otherwise brilliant as always!
Haha My mom said the same thing to me! I love my height now but it took a long time!

Andy, I loved the look, the boots are amazing and so are you for sharing that story.
I’m not as tall as you but I was also called names for being tall in Mexico (1.71). now I’m happy with my height and actually don’t mind the extra inches that great shoes give me ;)
Hope you visit:

muak!
I experienced a similar thing with my hair.
I have natural curls and when I was in elementary school I was bullied by my class mates because the other girls all had straight hair.
At that time of my life I really hated my hair and wanted straight hair so bad just to be ” normal “.
But now, these exact students who once bullied me say that they love my hair and most importantly, I like it too !

Thanks for sharing your story Andy! It’s so sad that you used to be bullied for your legs. I bet many of the bullies were just jealous for your long legs :D I like this outfit, A-lined dress and OTK boots make such a nice team together!

Why are you always so damn right ? ;)
You were right next to my job, I would love to meet you, but I would feel so small next to you ! All right, I’m ok with my size, #teampetite forever, but you will always wear those kind of boots better than I will !

Que decirte…
Tus fotos magnificas. El lgar maravilloso y tú, divina como siempre.
Gran post!!!!
:)
Andy que te puedo decir, yo también tenía problemas con mi estatura mido 1.60 y siempre era la burla en la universidad pero aprendí a reírme de mi mismo y todos esos complejos que tenía se me fueron olvidando.
Y no se que me gustan mas tus piernas o tu sonrisa.
I went trough the same “problem” as you, ok I never hated my legs, actually they were always my kind of fave parts of my body, but I hated to be tall! I am the same height as you, 1,80 and now, being 27 yrs old I just LOVE it! It took me ages to accept and for example put on some heels (short boys problem) and well now I feel even more special, I feel like I am a supermodel haha :P
Anyways, these photos are extremly beautiful, amazing look!

Yo tmb tengo piernas súper largas y me decían “patas de zancudo” o “Dee-Dee” (Dexter’s lab) y me ponía tan triste, tmb se burlaban de mi nariz por que la tengo muy delgadita y recta y me decían que si usaba drogas o algo -_- y cuando le dije a mi mamá me dijo “ammmm…. de hecho la gente se opera la nariz para tenerla como tu” y tampoco le creía xD ahora mis piernas y mi nariz son de lo que más me gusta de mi.
Great outfit, I love how you always layer different pieces one another.. I really should learn how to do this myself! :)

There isn´t just one beautiful type of body! That´s why people should accept and be accepted by the way they are! Being confident in yourself and in your body will make you glow!
An amazing story, Andy! Maybe the ones that bullied you in the past may now see that only beautiful legs like yours can use a gorgeous pair of boots like those from Jimmy Choo (which I think I have made a post with them in my blog today!).

This is a great post – you should be so happy to have legs for days! I can’t ever imagine not loving your long legs but as a tall girl myself, I used to be self conscious of my height – sometimes you gotta rock what you got! Xo, D

My Mom passed away five years ago, but in her honor, I have a tea towel in my kitchen that reads “OMG! My Mom was right about EVERYTHING!” (Let me know if you want to order one for your mom!)
Wow! You look so gorgeous :)

Moms are always right butt only time can tell us that.

I go through the same thing with my freckles. I would have given anything to have them scrubbed off as a kid and now they’re so much a part of my identity that I refuse to wear foundation because it covers them up too much!

EXACTLY! I had the same problem like you, I used to hate my long legs… And now I wonder why, why, WHYYY!? Every girl wants to have legs up to the sky! :)) How stupid we girls are when it comes to body… I think we all are beautiful, but the main problem is to realize it and just love yourself :) nice post!

Love the combo of many different materials, the lace top gives the outfit such a boost!
I can relate to your story, though I’m not that tall (1.75 m). I was at my full height when I was 16 already, so I was really skinny, even though I ate tons of food. My legs have always been the longest part of my body, and I often got called “stick legs”. It’s quite satisfying to hear those girls are the ones who envy my legs today.
