actually, I think people might. not to scare you off or anything. but heres my thing. I used to shop at the gap nonstop. there was one less then a half a mile from my house. And they had awesome sales. They had one pair of jeans on sale for 8 dollars. 8 dollars!! and they had a bunch in my size and they looked sooooooo good on me, so we bought them all. There were five pair. Some were a little lighter and some were a little darker, but exxentially the exact same jeans. Well, I was kinda chinky and had thick thys and ended up ruining most of my older jeans by wearing the seams raw (sucks) so I ended up wearing those all the time. and I never wore the same pair twice in a week. But then this one chik, really bitchy, said to me, umm, how bout you do us all a favor and change ur pants. u wear them so much you probably dont have time to even wash them. I never really htought about it. but no one beleived that I bought 5 of the same pair of jeans. Luckily the next year at band camp I was able to prove it, cuz over ther summer I cut some off and turned them into capris, and cropped another pair and put decals and stuff on them. So the first day I wore the short ones, and she said behind my back *oh she thinks she can just cut them off and we wont notice they are the same damn jeans?* but then the next day I wore the full length ones to show I must have had more than one pair. it shut her up, but the crappy thing is I had to PROVE it to her. It really sucked. SO! Here s my advice. Cuz people are friggin mean. Try going to places like rainbow (dont kwo if you have that) or vanity or gadzooks or agaci (dont know if you have any of those either) but they are places that have really great sales. Like some of those places have shirts for like, 97 cents. So try going there and seeing if you cant find other jeans, and also, the cropped look is really in, so if you dont want to spend a lot of money, try rolling the cuffs up on jeans that are too short for you and wear them as capris. or even better, look online on how to make a jean skirt from old jeans. Thats really cute too. so all those jeans you got wont go to waste. Just use a little creativity. Its easy to get around being tall. I've been 5'6" since I was in the 4th grade, so when I was younger I grew a lot, really fast. Thats my best advice. good luck, and dont sweat it.
