This is a…..WOW LOOK…. and definitely brings the idea of the LBD to a HIGHER level!! Paired with the matching WK SKIRT and you can go anywhere….from the office to dinner to a cocktail party….to any special occasion…or no special occasion. I chose to accessorize this outfit with a narrow shiny black belt, and a combination of my CLEAR & JET NECKLACES, J291535. On the ear, my JET DROP EARRING, J291538. This is the PERFECT necklace to wear with this sweater…WHY?….because the neckline of this sweater is wide, and these light weight necklaces do not drag the neckline IN distorting the drape of the collar. Anything heavier will pull the neckline closer to the neck and interfere with the natural drape of the collar……If you already own my HOUNDS TOOTH CHECK or HERRINGBONE FLIPPY SKIRTS…..this sweater will give you a new and fun way to wear them……For a more casual and weekend look….this sweater….and JEANS!…I noticed The SHAWLS, A259111, were also posted on the LINEA site. These too were for Sept…so you are really getting a jump on what’s planned for Fall. I did this EXACT GENEROUSLY SIZED Shawl for Anne Klein, and it’s a FABULOUS accessory to own. “FLUNG” over one shoulder or “BEAUTIFULLY DRAPED ” around the body…..it is not only practical, but an ENTRANCE MAKER!!! Worn over a sweater and jeans, a vest,  a suit, the WK DRESS coming next month, or a long evening dress….this a a special shawl to own. These items don’t come around often, and when they are avail……take the opportunity to collect them, or you may never have another chance…..They are WANTS…not needs…..Don’t have regrets a month or two or six from now, and say why didn’t I get that when I could…..They are priced well and would make INCREDIBLE GIFTS!!!!…..This is the PERFECT OUTFIT to wear with one of my NEW PATTERN TIGHTS that are coming next month……The ALL OVER LACE for evening…..The PEEK-A-BOO LACE running up the back of the leg for when you want to SHOCK and SURPRISE…..and the HERRINGBONE or PINSTRIPE for when you want to look very pulled together and CHIC…..A CROSSED LEG in a pattern hose worn with a minimal elegant suede pump….preferably with a pointed toe….will definitely garner admiring glances!………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………..THE RASPBERRY FUNNEL NECK SWEATER in a word is YUMMY!. This is a new Raspberry color, and is not like any I have done before……The fruit does come in different shades, but they are all called RASPBERRY….LOL……………Above, I have the sweater paired with the ESSENTIAL LONG WK SKIRT, A257384……This skirt is a MUST HAVE…..something that you will wear for years and years……Read the reviews…they are all FIVE STAR…… The pin and new earring is in the GUNMETAL and HEMATITE combination……The PEARL is GRAY, but is picking up the RASPBERRY color from the sweater……a magic pearl!……………………….

Sherry and many of you are wondering about the fit of this new elongated Super Ponte jacket. Jac tried on the size 6 and reports back that it is a generous 6. It is not an 8, but is a generous 6. If you wear B&M size 6 and find they are smaller that a QVC 6 you may want to size down. Jac does wear a 6. She is a 34A and found the jacket large in the bust, they usually are. She has VERY broad shoulders. She thinks either the 4 or 6 would work for her. If you like your jackets with more room go with your size. if you like them close to the body you can size down one size….Remember the 6 is roomy, but it’s a 6….not an 8….not a 4.

It has been brought to my attention that was a mistake on the “important dates” list.

this is the correct list for MONDAY

August 18th, 6:00 PM and PM Style [MONDAY}

August 19th, 6:00am [TUESDAY}

I can not find the question asking if the pierced earrings have stainless steel posts….the answer is YES, they are all stainless steel according to my manufacturer.
