I'm thinking I should stock up on these shorts forever! Seriously, since my legs are not exactly my most spectacular feature, I did not expect to get such positive response to "short" shorts, but if these are winners, I'll gladly keep both pairs!

Yeah, somehow the pants look better in the mirror than they do in photos, but I will keep looking. I also suspect that these will loosen a lot with wear, which is not a bad thing, but these have the potential to look baggy-butt rather than pleasantly loose and boyfriend-y. Now that I've tried on some of my pants and bottoms (including re-trying a few that I tried on a mere month ago), it's obvious I lost a little weight on my trip (for which I am very grateful, it was needed!). Just enough to make me reevaluate fit that seemed good before. Practicing PPP over here.

Keep the dress and the dark wash shorts.

I have a Loft black cotton tank-top pullover dress that is a workhorse. I've topped it with a white Jean jacket, a blue jean jacket, the embroidered Zara bomber jacket. It's been to work, to dinner, to the Caribean, and to a funeral. You can style it with flip flops, sneaks, or heels. It's a no brainer basic.

The dark wash shorts just plain look great on you.

I have a poison eye for cameo. Sorry! Just not a fan of the print.

I like the embroidered shorts a lot. I saw a pair online that really tempted me until I reminded myself I don't really wear shorts, so the 3 pairs I already own should suffice. And, you probably don't remember, but I also own those Anthro pants. I love them and have worn them 3x already, but they are proving harder to match with tops than I anticipated. So far I've only worn them with gray, white, or black sweaters, but I'm hoping to find either a white or black eyelet top to wear with them in the summer. I'm thinking the sweet/tough contrast would be cute, but once again, my taste is suspect.

Love the dress - keep! I also like the shorts, I like the longer versions. I wear shorts in summer too, not out and about really but nothing is as cool.

Love the dress and the shorts- on my phone so pics small but I like both pairs.

This is the length I prefer too.

Not sure about the pants.

Dress looks great. I prefer the darker wash shorts, but it sounds like you could use both pairs and the lighter pair is fine too. I'm not wild about the pants, though. I'm pretty sure you can do better.

I like it all - great dress. I think the camo pants could work with a lot of things -- chambray, navy, white, black, gray a subtle stripe. I'd play with them in your closet a bit. Of course I just love the idea of camo pattern and I've ordered a similar pair to try myself. Sometimes things I'm uncertain about at first end up being a favorite once I really try it a few different ways.
