……………………..Monday will be a day of BEST SELLERS, and the return of some of your most popular styles……..The CRINKLE GEORGETTE SAFARI SHIRT & TANK, A214117, is one of those styles. I decided since it is one of my most popular styles….I would bring it back in one of my most popular colors…..PERFECTLY PINK…..Actually, I’m surprised its’ taken this long to introduce this PP in this shirt. After a string of dark colors I have decided it’s way over due to bring this shirt to you in some pretty summery colors…..Perfectly Pink being the first. For those of you new to Linea….I designed this shirt a few years ago after the popularity of the BOHO skirt, A70208, shown above in the PP. Many of you had asked me if I could do a top in this fabric that would go with the skirt, and the Safari shirt is what I came up with. There have been other Crinkle georgette tops in between, but none have proved to be as successful as this shirt , and I believe this is the reason. Once again it is the play of a classic. A safari shirt, for that matter anything safari, is ICONIC. The fact that it is sheer, but you still feel covered and secure makes it a winning combination. The detailing and workmanship of this shirt is SUPERB. It is extremely difficult to sew these types of sheer fabrics. Anyone who has tried knows what I am saying is true. You need special needles on the machine that can handle delicate fabrics, and just sewing a straight line is a challenge….let alone double row top stitching! The placket front and shirt collar with stand are two more details of a classic shirt . The patch pockets and flap are hallmarks of a Safari shirt. The sleeves are 3/4 length, and can be worn straight down or…..there is a tab and button that can raise the sleeve to create a casual draped effect. Don’t even try to create a folded cuff…..in this fabric it’s futile! However, I have laid the shirt flat and folded the sleeve up from the hem to the button and then half again….this does control it somewhat……..THE BUTTONS…..The buttons on this shirt are REAL ABALONE SHELL……..Why do I capitalize this fact? because you never find real shell buttons on QVC garments, and rarely find them on garments in the stores….unless they are “designer” garments….and even then… sometimes not.. The buttons on this blouse cost what some other the garments do! LOL. It may not be important to some, but for me it says QUALITY, and adds to the reason why this particular Safari Shirt keeps getting reordered year after year after year…………It is not only beautiful…but it is practical. It’s wash and wear, and great for travel. It can be worn as a buttoned up shirt or worn open as a BREEZY shirt jacket. Wear it belted, tucked in, open or just loose….any way you want is the right way. Casual or dressy, night or day, work or for weekend play….you will find this SPRING/SUMMER shirt a valuable part of your wardrobe….That’s why so many of you have this shirt in EVERY color……..and on top of all of this….you get a MATCHING FAUX SILK TANK, which is perfect under this shirt, but is also a great layering piece for so many other things. Now, that every other layering piece in PERFECTLY PINK has sold out this tank will come in very handy as a separate piece on its’ own…….I realize that the PP BOHO sold out on my last show with Antonella, but I know many of you are going to ask if it matches…..YES it does!……..I don’t have to tell you what other pieces you can wear a pink top with….anything you want…Perfectly Pink is one of the most flattering accent colors you can wear. It’s an ideal summer color…………I love PINK and GOLD so I have chosen to accessorize with the GOLD PALM FROND SHORT NECKLACE, J290362, and the GOLD BOLD HOOP earring, J288005………….who’s ready for a Mojito?……………………………………………………enjoy………….much Love…………………Louis
