Palazzo pants for short people

[Callamia]

I'm going to try and dress slightly more grown-up than usual, and I'd like some non-jeans trousers.

I'm 5' 2", and losing baby weight, so am looking at size 8/10.

Can short people wear palazzo pants? Will they just look like lounge/yoga pants? What on earth shoes/boots do I wear with them? If this is a terrible idea, what else is there? Am I destined to be wearing skinny leg jeans for ever?

If 5' 4" and look really ploddy in them. My 5' 8" friend kind of glides when she wears them!

How about the Boden Richmond 7/8, or Gap bi stretch?

I'll go and look, thanks.
I'm a short person with tall women tastes...
