Hi all,

So here is my summer haul, an attempt to stay current and cool!

The photos addes backwards, so I`ll start with #3:</p> <p>3: Wide cropped linen pants from Jacques Penney (JC Penney—I live in a retail desert, which I consider a good thing). Linen blend, NOT quality, will only last one or two seasons—which is fine for this fringe trend for me. Wearing super casual, same occasions as shorts. Very cool. Been looking all summer; picked these up on super sale (rust was not on my list, but I have tops to match). Pairing with 20-year-old Tommy Bahama silk I have kept until rises rose.</p> <p>2: The Me and Em I promised. I finally bit the bullet, washed in hot and full-dryed in dryer to tighten the arm holes. The bust and length came up too—but better than not being able to lift my arms! This was my purchase of the summer. Moving toward looser silhouettes because I won`t beat gravity even though I try. Love this; have worn 4 times and counting.

1: With jean jacket.

Thanks for looking!
