What I Wore - Tall friends

I bought these bell-bottoms (or "flares" since Timmy insists I not call them bell-bottoms) months and months ago, but put off wearing them because of the length. Even with heels on, the jeans touch the ground. I know that is what the length is supposed to be, however, I am wayyy klutzy, so, I had been scheming about how I could exchange these without a receipt and past the return period for the "short" length (even though I'm 5'8"). I managed to not fall on my face wearing these, so, I call it a success.
