Five Feet.

top: thrifted   l   cardi: cotton on   l   necklace: c/o sprightly so


People have been asking me how tall I am so there you have it. Five. Feet. Flat. Pictures can be kinda deceiving right? Har har. Sometimes Jerry will randomly crouch down next to me while I'm standing and say something like... "Marsa vision." lol. uh.... thanks dude. But I'm really not that short. Everybody in the US is just abnormally tall. I'm from Japan people! Over there I'm quite normal sized actually. Hah.
ps sorry for the awkward poseys today. really don't know what i was trying to accomplish there.

  6. I would have never guessed. If I were wearing heels I'd be a whole foot taller than you. Crazy. I love the color combo in this outfit. And I love you...all five feet.

    PS We are basically the same height (I'm 4'11 and half an inch) and my boyfriend does that to me too. Haha. Don't they just love that?

  17. hahaha my mom is 5'2 and we always tease her about it. I'm not even that tall 5'6.5 (so close to 5'7!) and I sometimes wish I was a little shorter so that I could wear all the awesome high heels around some of my not 6' tall friends. So there you go, it's actually awesome to be short because then you can wear cute high heels!

  18. You're adorable!! I'm only 5'3" and I feel like a dang midget sometimes! Maybe I should actually wear heels & wedges...that may help haha.

  19. I definitely thought you were taller! When I went to Mexico I loved it since everyone is so short there :)

  20. Haha. It's really weird for me to see things from other people's point of view too. Like 6 foot? I feel like everything is so far from the ground.

    How do you get your photos so bright and beautiful?

  21. The nice thing about being on the short side is you don't have to worry about being too tall in heels. I'm 5'6 but luckily my hubby is 6'2 so I'm still shorter than him even in my highest heels! Whew! Anyway, I love the wedges and yellow pants. Perfect for the "First day of Spring". :)

  22. haha you are so cute, it's ok that you're five feet flat :-)

  23. Bahahahaha, "Marsa vision" xD
    Aww, you're just adorable Marsa. I love your pale yellow pants and cute necklace.
    And you know, its odd when I visit the Philippines because I get put in that odd situation of being a different height than everyone else. Everyone stares up at me and there are many jokes about how tall I am haha.

  26. haha! My husband does that too! "oh so this is how the world looks like to you" hahaha/ I'm 5'1" so we're like the same. wooo short people! lol

    And that is SO cool you're majoring in Japanese and TESL!!!!!I wish I was that driven. I tried to minor in Japanese..... I took 300 (i think it's now called 301...) with Arthur Sensei and then 311 with Okawa sensei... they were easy of course and i tested out of all the lower level classes. But then I took 302 for like 1 day and it was too much kanji for my little half japanese brain, so i dropped it ): and don't even get me started on taking 321 or 322, i think i'd rather stab my eyes out. I do wish I was better at reading and writing, but unfortunately with a full class schedule, taking Japanese classes wasn't a priority ): maybe when i'm older and the kids are out of the house i'll try to learn. hahaa.

    I'm majoring in Human Development. It's a social science, so looooots of research and reading journal articles. haha.


    oh and by the way i adore the yellow pants! and i also think this is now the longest comment in the history of bloggin....

    Oh, I know! I'm actually pretty short, and once, I felt so tiny since I was waiting at the printer and two really tall classmates of mine stood with me and teased me... =.=

  29. This makes me feel better. And un-naturally tall. Remind me to never go to Japan unless I want to be stared at.

    And I've never been to China but my family went without me, nice huh? It was the summer I got married and Hubby left me for a month on a European adventure and as soon as he got home my family left for China for 3 weeks. I stayed in Idaho and went to school :(

  30. I love this transitional winter-to-spring look! Your printed top is perfect with colored skinnies!
    Also, I've placed 4-5 orders from Tobi and I've been happy every time! I hadn't heard any bad reviews before, but I can see why you were concerned! But I've bought a couple of dresses, 5+ tops and a purse and I've been pleased with all of them :) I would say their quality ranges from F21 to Francesca's - type levels, so for the price (and their sales) it's a good value in my opinion. And you get a 50% off code for joining, so that's nice to use to kind of try it out! Hope this helps :) Shoot me an email if you have any questions about it!!
