Thanks, Lola.  

I liked the one in tan, but as it is, it turns out it's too short for me.    For this style, I'd want a minimum of a 28" length.  Maybe also a little sheer for what I'm considering.  I'm still thinking about the Liz Claiborne utility jacket QVC sells.

I'm glad to learn about Belk.

@lolakimono Lola, you are a sweetie.  That one actually caught my eye.  Darned if you don't know my taste already!  But I was disappointed to see that it's polyester, and I find that fabric not as comfortable as cotton or cotton blends (for here in hot California in summer).

Whoever/Whomever said she has a Pinterest Desert Beach board (or whatever), I couldn't find it..........lots of boards/whatevers there.  Anyone here know?

BR has the best looking safari jacket (RL's is really tissue thin cotton), but kacki does nothing for most complections.  When I buy something, I expect it to work on all areas!

Hi Romary1... It was me , lovestoteach. I made a board titled Desert Fashion and yes there are quite a few that have the same theme/ title. I may go back and give it a more specific title so you can find it. Will let you know here when I do that.♥️

Nice!  This type of apparel is much more comfy in hot southern summers than more tailored clothes - esp. when in cotton or linen.

@ROMARY I tried, but do not know how to make a Pinterest Board available (lack of privacy settings)... so I posted more fashions here...

 

SO HAUTE!!!
