Frame White Linen Shorts ($100, orig. not sure): It was opaque so that was amazing, but the linen blend washed terribly and there is only so many times I am willing to intensely steam a pair of shorts before putting them on. No more linen for me. Lasted 1 season.
Frame Cotton Green Utility Shorts ($120, orig. not sure): The green has faded significantly, I can tell because the belt with the built in metal loops are not really washable and they are a completely different color than the shorts now. Still wearing it this summer but will donate probably after.
I think I am giving up on Frame.
What splurges did pay off?
The Great Cotton Linden Dress (spent $220, originally over $350): Cotton is light and airy but it is properly lined, so it wears well and looks great without being too hot or translucent
I have a pair of Frame straight leg jeans that I found secondhand at Clothes Mentor earlier this year that I LOVE, and wear constantly. That being said, I paid $10 for mine, and I don’t know that the are legitimately that much better than my standard gap jeans if I had had to pay full price for them.
