The soft fabric gives them a lot of stretch (95% cotton and 5% lycra) making for one cozy pair of crops. I gotta admit, I'm more of a shorts or jeans kinda gal when I'm in casual mode. Creature of habit, maybe? Well, these scrunchie crops have changed my mind on what's most comfortable. These cropies are mucho soft, a nice weight plus have great details and style. I feel like I'm dressing up every top I own with them. All the same, I can totally lounge around the house while sporting these puppies and don't miss wearing jeans or shorts AT ALL. In fact, I feel like I'm in my pajama bottoms! Shhh.
As for the design, the waist has a thin elastic band that is very stretchy. The size small waist seems to comfortably stretch to twenty eight inches. Below the waist the capris have a three inch stitched yoke design. Love that 80's throwback detail. They seem to be a little big in the hips for me but I wear long tops anyway so, no worries there. The sweetest little embroidered tree lives centered on the back of the waistband and they have a nifty seam down the middle (front and back) of each leg. Starting at the knees, the main feature, the coolest gathered scrunchieness ever! I ordered them in brown which is a really nice chocolate shade (darker than the picture online) and they go with almost everything I own. I like them so much I'm thinking about getting the black ones (which will go with everything else I own).
There's another important benefit of owning these capris, they are part of Avatar Imports clothing line. Avatar is a member of the Fair Trade Federation, (a nonprofit trade association that promotes businesses that adhere to principles of fair trade). So, workers creating these great clothes aren't paid as little as possible (sweat shop amounts), they are paid an amount that actually allows them to...live. Not only that, Avatar is a certified “Green" company practicing resource conservation - conserving energy, water, materials, preventing pollution, waste, etc. This inspires me to do what I can in my own life because even simple things like shutting off power when leaving a room, printing double sided or canceling junk mail CAN make a difference. These things matter. Every natural resource is precious and every being is of value and deserves to be treated with fairness and a chance at a better life for the work they do. Wouldn't it be great if this was a priority for everyone? Today is the day to change. So, I will gladly wear wonderfully unique scrunchalicious capris from companies that believe in doing good, being conscious and fair.
Peace and love,

so cute, i love the new scrunch crop pants.
ReplyDeleteI have these and LOVE them! I will say that they significantly shrunk after the first and second wash/dry, and I have now gone to washing them and hanging to dry. That hasn't stopped me from wearing them constantly though!
