New York & Company

I’m five-​foot-​two.
You might be asking yourself, «how does this have anything to do with a review of a clothing store?»
…and to that, I would reply, «oh, just EVERYTHING.»
See, when you’re my height, life is different; not different in a good or bad way, but just different. Sure, it’s not a major detriment in my life, but when it comes to clothes shopping, it can tend to be rather troublesome; pants & sleeves are always too long, some skirts can look awkward… it just can get a little ugly.
Enter NY&CO; I had purchased pants from them in the past, and their petite line actually seemed to be a good match for me and my body type… so when I found out that I was going to be starting a new job, we stopped into this particular store in the Springfield Mall to see if there were some worthy contenders for additions to my wardrobe!
As we walked in the surprisingly large space, we (hubs was with me for moral support) were greeted instantly by a friendly employee who informed us about the promotions and sales. From there, hubs started picking out stuff that he liked for me, I picked out stuff I liked for me, and we hauled it off to the dressing rooms.
This store is a little older, so the dressing area is kind of weird and half exposed, but that made it easy for me to perform my pseudo fashion show. We narrowed down my favorites, and I had the opportunity to try on several sizes for the right fit, on account of the store not being very busy (bonus!)
By the end of my try-​on-​a-​thon, I had found four pairs of pants; an enormous feat for me!
So, fellow vertically challenged ladies — NY&CO petities is where it’s at!
