Aritzia Effortless Pant vs Blundstone Classic 550 Chelsea Boot

“I’m 5ft3. Everything has always been big on me so I used to alter everything but with time I’ve found some brands that actually fit. - Levi’s for Jeans since they have so many waist, length, and cut options. Their sizing is different between cuts I feel so it’s worth just trying them all on in store to figure out what combos work for you. - Aritzia carries XXS and 00 for many items. The effortless pant has a shortened length option. I 100% recommend getting them second hand to save $$. - Princess Polly, Pacsun and Brandy for shorts, skirts and dresses. I would size up on Princess Polly. Brandy pants are usually too long though. - Zara is hit or miss really depends on the item. Some fit great, some too small, some wayyyy too big. - A bit bougie but for a nice dress or pant Zadig & Voltaire and Zimmerman fit amazing and have so many sizes. I assume since they’re French and Australian they size for smaller bodies. Though they’re not all the best brands to support, they’re the only ones I can trust that fit me, but I do my best to buy second hand when available :)”

“I wear the crap out of my blundstones. I have the non lined version in a steely/blue grey colour and I love them. Warm with good socks for -30, cool enough for wearing to work, stable for wearing on a ladder, easy to clean and maintain. Polish twice a year and they look brand new. I bought them with a discount at work but would definitely reinvest without a discount when I need a new pair.”
