Our friends at meSheeky really thought about these capris when they designed them. The Odette Capri is comfortable, flattering, and comes in 7 great colors. We love how they are slightly higher in the back than in the front, so when you bend or stretch, you’re not sharing any, as they say, “sheeky assets” (giggle!). […]

Just what you watersport-loving TrailblazerGirls need. Our friends at Mi Ola designed a super-special Double-String Bottom.
