capris or crop pants?

[malkin]

Crop pants make my ridiculously long legs look even more ridiculous than usual. I also get pretty self conscious about how funny my feet look sticking out down there.

I still think of crop pants as 'floods' which was the springtime name for the pants that were new for Back-to-School, before they became 'cutoffs' for summer.

Not sure I agree with these labels.



And doesn't "capri" mean "goat?"
What's up with that?

It's also an island.

I just had a thought..."Goat Sun." Eew.

I'm short so know that I *shouldn't* wear bermuda shorts, capris, or cropped pants since they make me look even shorter, but I live in NC so I end up wearing them to work all summer because it's just too darn hot & humid to put on jeans or even full-length slacks most days!
