Comfortable Fashionable Travel with Sassimi {Review and Giveaway}

Packing for Hawaii was something I put off until the very last minute. Obviously Hawaii is an island, and everything I read said that is how people will be dressed, Island casual. I was perfectly happy hearing this, because dressing fancy is not my style, I am very happy in a maxi dress and flip flops or shorts with a tank and sandals. I made a list and kept looking over it, but couldn't bring myself to actually put stuff in a suitcase until the night before we left.

Once I finally laid everything out, I was very pleased with all of my selections. I had two nicer Island casual outfits to wear to my husband's business dinners, and the rest was really stuff to explore the islands in and spend casual days. I also had a great pair of comfortable, yet very fashionable Island casual pants to wear thanks to this next company.

How perfect that Sassimi would offer coastal resort/spa type apparel, just what I needed and wanted for my trip. I was thrilled that they were interested in partnering with us and immediately got browsing their online shop. I worked with Tera, who originally suggested a Hi Lo top, which was very cute, but something else had caught my eye. Tera was quick to agree that my idea would be perfect for the Hawaii trip and feature. We emailed back and forth with information and also some suggestions from Tera, she was very helpful--thanks Tera!

After receiving shipping/tracking information, a few days later my Sassimi package had arrived!

My beautiful helper ready to see what was in the package.

"What could it be?"

We found this neatly folded pair of pants, safely sealed inside a plastic shipping bag.

The Sassimi Del Mar Bamboo Pants with Full Coverage

These pants retail for $50 and come in sizes S-XL. They are made of 95% Bamboo Viscose and 5% Spandex, making them very soft, comfortable, and chic. They are a crisp white color, perfect for an island vacation or summer date nights.

In my suitcase I packed both a navy/white tank and a completely black tank to pair with my pants. I was excited to wear them to our Luau dinner for my husband's work function. I knew the evenings would be a bit cooler and that the Del Mar pants would be a great fit.

They packed well in my suitcase, minimal wrinkles and very easy to hang up in the closet. The evening of the Luau, I pulled them out and put them on, they were so soft and flowy, very comfortable. I ended up pairing it with my black tank, because I needed to wear black wedge sandals because the pants were a bit longer on me, the inseam is 32", I ordered the medium, which is for an 8-10, it was a perfect fit waist-wise.

Unfortunately, in all our fun and festivities I didn't get a full body picture, so I didn't get any of the pants in the pictures (I do have some farther down from a different day though).

Heading down for our Luau, this lei was so fragrant and fresh I couldn't believe it. Pardon my hair too, it did NOT love Hawaii.

Here is the fire dancer

It had rained earlier in the evening so we ended up having dinner inside. I was so glad I had chosen the pants, because the event hall was very chilly. The pants were fancy yet casual and oh so soft, I couldn't wait to wear them again and again.

The Del Mar Bamboo Pants are very versatile. I wore them for a nice Luau dinner in Hawaii, but also for a casual friends dinner on a warmer night recently. I know you aren't supposed to wear white before Memorial Day, but these pants are too comfortable and nice to skip over when the temps are in the 70s.

Again, I have to pair them with wedge sandals to make sure the ends don't drag on the ground and get ruined. I would recommend wearing wedges if you are on the shorter side, I am 5'4, but don't be afraid of the length, because the pants really are a great buy.

They are also very easy to care for, machine wash cold, hang to dry. I air dry most of my clothes just for safe measure, so these pants are nothing of a hassle to wash and come out looking just as nice as they did going in. I look forward to wearing these pants on many occasions coming up later this spring and summer.
