Thanks for looking, ladies. The flats are by Kenneth Cole. Very comfy. Will make my top picks list next week. I want a pair:

Debs and Caro, both pieces are silk, loose and very lightweight. I could wear that in 110 degrees (probably not with the loafers). I prefer to cover up in the sun, like they do in the hottest countries in the world.
I do purchase in advance for my dominant season. These would have to wait many months before I could wear them. And what if we don't have a Summer? That CAN happen in Seattle, unfortunately. I like the idea of going somewhere hot for holiday though. Now there's a thought.
