No, you can't.

There are 2 ways to demonstrate this.

1. Draw the ray diagram on a sheet of paper. If you are to view yourself completely, there should be rays of light from your feet being reflected to your eyes and also rays of light from your head being reflected to your eyes. You will find that for this to be possible, the mirror must be at least half your height.

2. Try it yourself! Use two PLANE mirrors; one (A) with a height greater than half your height and the other (B) with a height less than half your height. You will notice that wherever you place mirror A, you will always see yourself completely whereas wherever you place mirror B, you will never see yourself completely.
