…………………….As you already know……STONE….is a KEY color for me and continues into early spring…..Combined with the CANEEL, an illusive AQUA shade which always takes me back to the Caribbean, there is an immediate feeling of CALM………………Paired with the Stone WK Skirt or Stone pant is a natural……The fact that the Stone ANIMAL INSTINCT tights are avail. to wear with this, though limited, is a bonus……Aquamarines, if you own them would be perfect….or maybe you already have the J288007, necklace in the Peacock, which also works perfectly with this sweater. …..Truly, you really need nothing to enhance this already beautiful piece…………sometimes….less is more………yes, even from me, who loves more, sometimes less is just enough…………………………enjoy…………………….much Love…………………..Louis

I love this combination of OLIVE and CURRY….it is very EUROPEAN. If you love my Olive WK you will love this…..If you love my Nutmeg shade, though not the same as Curry, you will still love this. For all of you who own the SPICE NECKLACE, J288007, you are fully accessorized……just add a chocolate DEMI HOOP EARRING coming in Jan. and you are complete! For me, this is the way a CASUAL OUTFIT, which is not to be confused with  a Leisure outfit, though they can sometimes overlap, should look. Leisure , again for me, is an even more casual way to dress utilizing totally different fabrics…..bordering on active or lounge wear……….However, it should fit into your like style, whatever you call it. I am sure this sweater has a place in your Linea wardrobe…………………………enjoy………..much Love………………….Louis

…………………………Last but not least…….the WALNUT and MULBERRY combination. These are two colors that I have used in the past…..the Mulberry being the most recent in the swing WK tunic. I have paired it with the Walnut WK A-Line skirt, A259625 [which to my surprise is on CLEARANCE and is a fabulous WK Skirt], and the PURPLE NECKLACE, J288007, which is STILL AVAIL, but very limited….Walnut leggings and pants are always an alternative…..but just a pair of comfortable jeans is all you need for a night out at the movies…………….enjoy………..much Love………………… Louis

……Every season, with each new group, I like to introduce some new Whisper Knit items…..scarves, shawls, skirts, pants….but mostly sweaters. This new style, A257356, in the PETROL BLUE, is a relaxed easy sweater and should be somewhat generous, otherwise it will not hang and drape as it should. This ease and drape is achieved by utilizing a dropped shoulder. The sweater is approx. 28 inches long….the perfect length for leggings. slim pants and straight skirts….The neckline has a ballet opening with a CURLED EDGE finish…If you think this neckline is too open for you…no problem….layer it with a turtle neck, sleeveless mock neck or a crew or jewel neck “T”………The bottom has a 3 inch finely ribbed hem with 3 inch slits on both sides. The sleeves are long and and are TOTALLY RIBBED in the same rib as the hem, which gives the sleeve a great fit…..This by no means is an over sized sweater, and you should NOT go sown a size or it will be too tight in the hip. Jac wears an xs and it fits her perfectly…. I have chosen the matching long WK SKIRT, A257384, and the Black WK pant in the photos above, but in the spring gleaming WHITE will look fabulous…… To accessorize I have added the BLACK WK SHAWL, A259111 for a little contrast and drama. BLACK JET, BLACK JET and MORE BLACK JET……..J284043 is the 72 inch necklace worn doubled……a wonderful necklace that has been reordered due to popular demand….there are 30 reviews and all are FIVE STARS…. Along with that are two spaced jet necklaces, J291535…..24 out of 25 reviews recommend this necklace…….The J291538, jet drop earring finishes the look…..I know for all of you Whisper Knit collectors…and those of you who are new to the brand….this is going to be one of your all time favorites……………………………………………………………………enjoy………………………much Love…………………………………..Louis

…………………………….BRIGHT OLIVE…………………is a new color in the world of WHISPER KNITS. It looks wonderful with my Linea Olive, as the WK short skirt above, and the SUPER PONTE PANT in TAUPE, A257338 reg, and A257343 petite, also above……Walnut, Charcoal, Navy and of course Black are all colors that will look wonderful with Bright Olive….Come spring White, Ivory or Khaki cotton pants and sneakers or slip on flats will work perfectly……..Two strands of the OLIVE FREE FORM BEADS, J317652, and the OLIVE DROP EARRING J271863. are perfect accessories. If you already own the spaced Olive bead necklace, J288007, it layers perfectly with the FREE FORM BEAD NECKLACE…………………………………enjoy…………………much Love…………………………Louis
