Another side by side! This one for two pairs of linen shorts with a similar style.

The Quince pair is 100% cotton, fully lined (and also mostly sold out).

The BR Factory pair is an in stock option with a very similar fit. They’re a linen blend, unlined but not sheer. They also have a slightly longer inseam, 4” to the 3 3/4” inseam in the Quince pair. They also come in more color options.

I just may be a little excited to see something offered in petite from Quince! Hoping this is the start of more to come.

Ordering the skirt to see how it compares to the fit of the regular fit one I already own.

Speaking of the top I linked fro LOFT. Here is how it fits! True to size, not too low cut or low at the arms.

Comparing midi vs mini skirts!

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me petites can’t wear midi lengths 😮‍💨

I personally think petites can wear midi lengths (and mini and maxi)! The key is in the styling with a midi length. Here I went with two tonal outfits they’re low contrast with my skin tone which already lengthens but no need to make all of your outfits white. I went to nude heels that have thin straps to add length and tucked in my top to highlight my waist. It also helps that this midi skirt skims my frame but I’ll wear a full length midi skirt all day.

Skirts are both from Quince.

Mini skirt: xs in champagne
Midi skirt: xs in champagne
Top (Nordstrom): petite xs
Shoes (Quince): true to size

Linking the shapewear I tucked my top into to smooth it out as well.

Found a great skirt at Target!
