……….WKWKWKWKWK….yes, another Whisper Knit sweater just for you. This is a JERSEY knit tunic with an open jewel/ ballet neckline, side slits and 3/4 sleeves. It is approx. 27 inches long for the xs so it isn’t extremely long….just the right length for leggings. The 3/4 length sleeves have a non working placket with FOUR SIGNATURE BUTTONS…….just to give a little extra flare……The color above is……….TURQUOISE…..The buttons are gold so I have chosen to show it with two strands of my GOLD BEAD NECKLACES, J296893 and my GOLD BOLD HOOP EARRING, J288005. A bold yet simple statement and the gold is just amazing on the Turquoise. Any of my gold pieces will work…..from the vintage multi row chain necklace, the horse bit necklace to the Palm Frond group. For a totally different look the TRIPLE STRAND PEARL NECKLACE,J296624 with the GOLD SPACE BEADS and the PEARL and GOLD earring, J296890……The GOLD PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959, with the 3/4 sleeve would be perfection.. This is an easy relaxed sweater….dressed down or dressed up it really fits into ant wardrobe.

…………………………..Grass Green over NAVY WK PANTS is a classic spring combination. The buttons on the green are gold. Keeping it simple, and for a more casual relaxed look just add  the SAGE DEW DROP PENDANT NECKLACE,  and EARRING SET, J320890………………..enjoy………….much love…………………….Louis

SILVER BUTTONS adorn the Navy Tunic….so pull out the silver….such as the FISH, J288023 mixed with the SILVER SIGNATURE NECKLACE, J320468 and the SIGNATURE EARRING, J320884….Yes you can absolutely mix your jewelry…..there are no rules….what ever you like is perfect!……………………….enjoy, much Love……………..Louis

……………………………….I know many of you requested from me to make a FRENCH SAILOR SWEATER……and here is my version, A265576…..The sweater is in the same Cotton/Acrylic blend that I have been successfully using for years…”if it’s not broke…don’t fix it”……The length of the sweater is approx. 25 1/2 inches for the xs. It is an easy fit so the size you would normally get should be the size you order. You can see from the photos how the sweater fits my form which is a size 6. It is not over sized or too small….IMHO it fits exactly as it should…..Of course all of you like your clothes to fit a certain way so I always recommend you read the “click here measurements”. Knowing Jac….she will order this sweater for herself a size larger, because she happens to like an over sized look…..like she’s wearing a mens sweater…..This is not a look many of you care for or understand, but it’s her thing and she loves the look with leggings…..I however, would not recommend sizing up for you unless you too like an over sized look. I only bring it up to emphasize that everyone has their own way of wearing things…………When I looked at the collage above…..the outfit looked so familiar to me……I had to chuckle………..I did this exact outfit many many moons ago at Anne Klein…..the only difference was….the sweater was cashmere, and the yellow pants were cuffed and made in the softest calf skin leather. I showed the pant on the long side so they broke over the navy and white “saddle shoes”………. This time around the pants are my SUNSHINE YELLOW JEANS, A252357, and the shoes I will be showing will either be white/navy or  yellow Converse sneakers!……As all French Sailors sweaters have….there are buttons on the one shoulder….in this case four GOLD SIGNATURE BUTTONS….they are non-working. The neckline is an open jewel. The neck band, the hem of the sleeve and bottom of the sweater all have narrow bands of fine ribs…..just to keep it authentic……….Time to bring out your Gold Fish Pendant………I hope you all approve of my version of the French Sailor sweater…….it’s pretty ICONIC, and not something to deviate from!………………………..

…………………………………………………………enjoy…………….much Love………………………………………………Louis

……………………….Another take on the Iconic French Sailor sweater is……..Ivory with Black Stripes………..Again, the  buttons on the shoulders are gold……….The pants are my AQUA JEANS, A252357, and by now I would guess you can see I love a color jean with these sweaters……it’s just so much more fun than ivory or indigo or black jeans [all perfectly fine options],  but a color bottom adds  that element of SURPRISE, and so much more pizazz….. anyone can wear them……….To go along with the signature button theme, I have chosen to accessorize the sweater with the SILVER and GOLD SIGNATURE necklace, J320468, and the Gold Signature earring, J320884, but all of you silver lovers can certainly opt out for the silver version……it is perfectly fine to mix your metals…..and sometimes, with the right outfit, much more interesting……..I will finish it off with my GOLD PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959……just the right touch, and just as Iconic as the sailor sweater…It’s the perfect watch to wear with these necklaces….comes in silver too!……..I will also be showing this outfit with either Aqua sneakers or Black and White sneakers….haven’t made up my mind yet…..Think I’ll ask Jac which she likes better!…………….enjoy…………….much Love……………………………….Louis
