I just love the Drawstring Pant in Cove Floral. I wasn’t too fond of it online but my VPS added it to my room. They are super comfortable in what feels like a silky cotton, almost like PJs, and look how cute they are with the Seville Wedge Espadrille in Citrus Lime. I have on a size 6, a perfect fit.
I originally considered trying to find a Linen pant for Summer but then realized I never wore any of the others I had over the years. The Linen Drapey Drawstring Pant is certainly a pair that would make me try one last time. I like the Navy over all the other colors. They are easy to slip-on and have enough room for a large meal. I would have to get them hemmed as the pair I tried on are pretty long. The website says the inseam is 27 inches so they should fit like the Cove Floral above. Not sure where the disconnect is but CWFS probably just did a copy/paste of descriptions.

The Bristol Trouser in Herringbone Linen looks to be available for pre-order but my store had this color available. I am wearing the size 6 which is a good fit. I wouldn’t size up. These would definitely need to be hemmed and if I wore linen pants in the Summer I would get these; one day, I suppose.
I really liked the Tap Short in Photo Floral but had a little difficulty with the zipper in the back. There was no hook that I could find and the zipper kind of felt like it might un-zip at any time, especially if I sat down. I’d probably try another size 8 just to make sure the zipper stayed up and did it’s job.
Though the Surf Skirt in Cove Floral is cute, it is definitely not practical for hot Summers like mine. Unless I wanted to dress up to go surfing? The online model does this skirt no justice. She looks sloppy with her half-tuck and slouched shoulders, especially in flat shoes. They might as well have just photographed this skirt on a hanger.
I made a dress out of it with the Sleeveless Drapey Top in Cove Floral and the Seville Wedge Espadrilles. I’m wearing the size 8 but the size 6 fit about the same. I was hoping the size 6 would fit a little better in the hip area of this skirt.
So, what do you think of these pants, short and skirt?
