For this inhospitable &#8220;desert&#8221; becomes a breifly blooming paradise when the hot dry winter ends. Our Kalahari Shirt is at home in such terrain. Short-sleeved, pleated in the back for ease of movement, made of tough, tightly woven 100% cotton, it can be tucked into trousers, worn loose with shorts, belted over skirts, thrown unbuttoned over tank tops. For certain women\u2013with itineraries as rich and varied as the Kalahari\u2013it&#8217;s as basic as summer rain.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos courtesy Kimberlee English Anderson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
