    i totally understand too. i'm a little taller at 5'2" but i think having sneakers on will be super fun. also, i'm going with my friend who is 5'8" and if i got the pump pass, she would too and i'd probably look infinitely shorter if she wore heels.

    we would like to see everyone step it up just half a knotch so you will need to do better than a polo. Imagine... if you check your coat then there you are in a polo, jeans and sneakers, and that's not the code
