You're trippin, the first one is much more visually interesting and, frankly, seems to elongate you. I like how it flares out at the bottom. Granted, small pics. And obviously shorten the sleeves.
Just don't herk your arms up like that.
Arms on #2 look gross, like sausage casings. I just don't think this overly fitted style is always great with fitted pants. Also, the higher gorge on #2 does you no favors in terms of height augmentation. I realize this runs contrary to perceived wisdom, but that's how it looks.

Advice for short people: not everything you wear has to be perfectly fitted and proportionally the same size. Embrace the drape.

Personally like the first the best. The others seem a bit gimmicky to me and I love gimmicky clothing ;p

LL Bean Duck Boots? I need a good winter boot...it gets cold as
ffffuuuu.gif
here. However, I don't want to spend a whole lot because I am indoors 99% of the day. LL Bean's best bang-for-buck or is there a better alternative like Lands End or Wolverine or something?

Also, with tall winter boots, how should I wear them? Jeans tucked in or what??

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it looks like a girl's scarf necessarily, I think it would be hard to pull off IRL

duck boots are one of the ugliest creations ever.

If you need heavy duty boots there are still better lookin' options.

The back of my mind was saying the same thing. Thank you!
