Safari, anyone?

Ralph Lauren's SS 2009 RTW collection was all about the African Savannah (above: looks 1, 7 and 47). From resort whites, to black formals to brown and green khakis the collection was mean to reflect staying cool in the heat. Since last week I wrote about being white-hot, this week we're going to get our khaki on! There's a reason Gap has a whole line of khaki garments at the 5th Ave. flagship store right now (to hit the web tomorrow, I do believe) and why most mid-market retailers have ample quantity in shades of khaki. Here are some easy pieces that can be worn together or apart to achieve the look.

MICHAEL Michael Kors long sleeve shirt with patch pockets (Nordstrom, $69.50)

Coach New Ali Large Hobo ($378)

Joie Berlin linen shorts (Nordstrom, $158)

Ann Taylor Loft short sleeve jacket ($59.50)

Banana Republic linen zebra-print patio dress ($130)
