“APRIL SNEAK PEEK #8”

“Sneak Peek #8” is the long awaited return of A214117, the crinkle georgette shirt with matching tank. This style is quintessentially me. It is a CLASSIC SAFARI SHIRT, but made in a fabric you wouldn’t equate with safari….. it is made in my poly crinkle georgette, which is the same fabric as my Boho skirt. Many of you had hoped this shirt would be repeated and many also requested what new color they would like to see it in. The BLACK and SAGE are returning. WHITE was the most requested color and I felt it was the perfect new color to bring to you. I have it paired with my white pebble crepe pant which is a perfect match. There is nothing more beautiful in the summer that the perfect ALL WHITE look. I tried accessorizing it with, many different necklaces….gold, silver,lucite, wood, horn, bone and colored beads…all looked great, but in the end I chose just lucite earrings and bracelets…..I decided to let the shirt speak for itself. It does come with a faux de chine tank which is the perfect weight to wear under the safari shirt, but it really is a little too sheer to wear on it’s own….that was not its purpose. The buttons are GENUINE SHELL which is a rare thing at this price point. The sleeve is a 3/4 length which can be left down or it can be rolled or simply caught up with the tab and button. The workmanship and the stitching are superb, and it compares to shirts 4 times this price. For me, this is the PERFECT summer time shirt. You can keep your arm covered and still be cool and comfortable. The crinkle fabric, with  its easy care, makes this shirt a terrific travel companion………….If you already own it……I know you will want the new color…..if you don’t….. you will have a tweet in store for you!…….enjoy, Louis

    I really didn’t give this much thought last year from looking at the Q’s pictures online; I must have missed the presentation on it. Now, after seeing the sneak peak, WOW, this would be perfect for our hot, hot summers here in SW Kansas. Thank you so much, Louis, for these sneak peaks. It allows us to see pictures the Q is not able to show, so that we may make more informed buying decisions.

      Dear Sherry,
      I think you will love wearing this…as you see in the pictures you can wear it as a shirt jacket worn open over the tank too

    These were my favorites last summer with all the crops, so I will be quick to pounce on the white when it comes out.

    This was my first stalking conquest, when I was a Linea newbie (which I still am), and it is one of my favorite tops. Feminine, cool, with a minimalist safari vibe. I love how the brownish shell buttons look against the white. I have it in Black and Sage and wore them everywhere last summer. I agree with you about the all-white look. It’s so poolside/beach elegant. This fabric – so light and flowy. The sheerness lightens up the covered arms. Love it!

    At last! I own the sage but was not quick enough to get the black. Now I will have the black and the white and for next year….I hope we get to do a new poll for an additional color. I live in Florida where it is already summer and I have worn this as a set and with other pieces to create a cool, sophisticated look. Ok, I am going to add my color choice for next year right now. RED!

    Hi Dariann……no, the white crepe pants are not returning, but I will definitely do more white and ivory pants for next spring and summer.

    Dear Louis,

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I purchased the sage and black last year and wore them all the time – even brought them to Morocco and Spain last May. I can hardly wait to add the white to my wardrobe. Will the white crepe pants be returning this year?
