Tim Gunn says no to capri pants, and I concur (sort of)

Recently (okay three weeks ago but I've been BUSY and I just got around to watching the TIVO'd episode), Tim Gunn and Veronica Webb made over SAHM Nicole, who is trapped in a tee shirts and capri pants rut that many of us are familiar with (particularly those us with small children). Nicole's Mom Uniform is doing nothing for her, and Gunn and Webb wind up banning capris from her closet. Gunn's argument is that because Nicole is petite (she's 5'2") her capri pants make her legs look even shorter. In the end, he recommends that she opt for higher waisted, full length trousers, to give her a long leg line.
