cheapxphotography's advice column

My name is Julia

things change. sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst. that's how life is. i'm almost 16 and i make mistakes just like any other person. i'm far from perfect. i love to act, sing, dance and do anything involved with the arts. i really want to learn to play the guitar and i plan to learn. i play tennis but it's only to pass the time. i write poetry and lately i've been reading alot. i'm really goofy and i like to make people smile and i love to laugh. i don't trust that easily and i love even lighter. i don't believe that anyone is better than anyone. i've been going through a tough time lately and i've been confused about alot. i have my best friends and besides them i don't care what other people think. i have an amazing boyfriend and i love him. we can get through anything. i don't hate. sometimes love. and always smile. don't judge me before you get to know me. i'm loud and will make you laugh.

I also love to give and get advice. I believe that people should come together and help you to get by. But always remmeber, advice is help. You are the only one that can make a final desision. I would love to help you with anything as long as you respect me and I'll return the same respect.

advice

so for homecoming i bought this really cute dress and a bought 2 pairs of shoes. one goes perfectly with the dress but is 3 in!!! the other is pretty cute but doesnt go as well. its shorter about a 2in. the thing is im going with a guy that about my height((without heels)) and i think i'll feel self concious about my height around him and other people too if i wear those 3in way cute shoes. And i would be wearing them for pics((the ones the school takes)). i know that the shoes end up coming off your feet like right when you get to the dance...but still i fell totally tall in the 3in ones and not as tall in the 2in. which should i go with?

ps- im 5ft 4

Being 5'8 I know how it is to be awkwardly tall. If you're going to feel uncomfortable being tall around people, then you should go with what you feel more comfortable in. Like you said, the shoes get taken off, and no one is going to be looking at your shoes saying, "those shoes don't match perfectly." Homecomming is about having fun and being comfortable in your own skin.

If I were you I'd go with the shorter pretty cute ones. Even thought they're not as fabulous as the other ones, I think you'll be more comfortable and won't worry about feeling awkward.

Also, you can always save those tall ones for another dance where your date is a little taller.

But don't say that 5'7 (your height plus heels) is an awkward height. I've been tall all my life and I'm starting to get used to it. Being tall isn't a bad thing. It's a privledge.

I hope I could help,
