Marc Bouwer cardi -- the fabric on this is really nice. Perhaps one would call the fabric a dressier, cotton knit-feel; it was never too hot -- always comfortable. Surprising. I wore it all the time on vacation to PA. It doesn't look "fussy." I'm 5' -- and ordered it in small instead of my usual PM. It easily went over long sleeve cotton tees and provided a "turned-up collar" effect when placed as such. MB knows what he's doing! This flatters -- rarely does anything ever seem to flatter this short person-- but this cardi does! It looked so good on Mary Beth Roe and so that is why I ordered it hoping it would be flattering on me. I have the dusty purple in my cart now. (3 EP! YAY)

The second item is by LCNY: the fabric is like a light-weight satiny linen. I would classify this blouse as a shirt-jacket. It can function as both. Because it is black, the pockets do not overwhelm, yet the style still makes one feel rather "safari-ish!" I might go so far as to classify this as "Linea-look for the petite person!" It hits me right at the hip-bone -- a perfect spot. I received a PM. It will look nice either with a nice necklace or over a turtleneck when the weather turns colder. Finally I have a professional piece of clothing that doubles as a casual piece also. This is really nice fabric; it is far more expensive-looking than the price would indicate.
