The THIRD COLOR avail. in thw Cowl neck top and the Draped Front Cardigan is……………….AQUA…………………………The pieces avail in the AQUA ARE the A233957, COWL NECK, the A233955, CARDIGAN, the A233962, TANK, and the A233967/A233968 PULL-ON PANT……. The photos above Feature all of those pieces plus the pant in the SMOKE…..You can begin to realize how all of the pieces I have already shown you in the FEATHER JERSEY can create a wardrobe unto themselves…………and there are still MORE to come………I also love the cardigan tied in the front, which is a great way to disguise any figure issues you think you may have………What is the difference between the AQUA and the SEAFOAM?…………….I know this may be a little confusing due to the switch in the names…………the SEAFOAM FEATHER JERSEY pretty much matches the AQUA WHISPER KNITS. The AQUA FEATHER JERSEY above is more of a ROBIN’S EGG BLUE……………………..definitely bluer than the Seafoam…..when you see them together there is a great deal of difference…..BOTH are beautiful colors………….

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

The last color being offered in the COWL NECK TOP and the DRAPED FRONT CARDIGAN is…………..NAVY………………It is a DARK NAVY…..sometimes the flash of the camera makes it look lighter than it actually is. There are so many ways to mix and match the NAVY pieces………which are the COWL NECK TOP, The DRAPED FRONT CARDIGAN, the PULL-ON PANT, the TANK……… the MAXI SKIRT and the DOUBLE POCKET TUNIC. I love the navy mixed with the HEMP and SMOKE for a VERY CLASSIC, CHIC way of dressing. It is also the PERFECT neutral to mix with the colors…….LIME, FLAMINGO, ORCHID, AQUA,  SEAFOAM………..and the OLIVE TOO! Give the pictures a good look, because there are many combinations there….all it takes is changing one piece to create a totally different look…………………enjoy………….much love ………Louis

The FEATHER JERSEY T SHIRT is A233959, The style is simple…..RELAXED, FLUID, BREEZY and COMFORTABLE! It has a ballet neck and a DOLMAN or BAT WING sleeve. There are two side slits. To say that this is a multi purpose top, is an understatement! The fabric can be dressy and very appropriate for the office or evenings out……………or very casual with a legging, Capri pants or simply worn over a bathing suit. It is like wearing NOTHING. For those who say POLYESTER IS HOT…………..THEY haven’t worn THIS!!! It is truly LIGHT as a “FEATHER”! This type of style truly has no BUST measurement. The only measurement you need to be concerned with is the hip. I know some of you will want to size down. For me, that is defeating the purpose of this LANGUID DRAPY top……………….but if you must…..only one size PLEASE! ….and double check the hip measurement! Wear it BELTED or loose, depending on the look you are going for. Accessorize to the hilt or absolutely nothing…. for a pure clean relaxed sportswear attitude. The colors above are……………..LIME…………OLIVE…………………The lime is very close to the LIME WK. The Olive really should have been given a different name because it is not the same color as the olive FJ pant and short sleeve FJ V-neck tunic……so they will NOT match. In the photos above, I have paired the lime with the OLIVE FJ pull-on short skirt A233969, white linen “vintage” shorts, and my white legging. There are a zillion colors and prints that the lime will work with….including the new IKAT PRINT SKIRT. The OLIVE is paired with the matching OLIVE pull-on skirt for the two piece dress look…….it is also paired with the  HEMP pull-on skirt……for that wonderful natural SAFARI LOOK……….complete the look with the new TORTOISE NECKLACES which WILL be avail on the May 14th too. The olive also works with the Ikat print skirt. I know you have many many things hanging in your closets right now that will work with these COLLECTIBLE “T” SHIRTS. What more can I say……..when the weather becomes hot and sticky….these will be the “Ts” you will be reaching for………..cool, loose and comfortable……………………………………scroll down for the additional colors……………………………………………….enjoy……….much Love, Louis

The FEATHER JERSEY “T” SHIRT, A233959, is also avail. in two additional colors………………SEAFOAM…………NECTAR……………..The Seafoam is VERY close to the Aqua WK, just slightly softer and paler. The nectar is like an ORANGE CREAMSICLE……….a beautiful soft melon/mango/orange color. The colors in this fabric have a soft glow which is EXTREMELY FLATTERING next to the skin…..they seem to light up……due to the slight silky sheen of the fabric. This is a terrific way to add some color to your wardrobes. I have paired the SEAFOAM with the matching SEAFOAM pull-on skirt, A233969, for that two piece dress look ,or as a separate over all kinds of white bottoms…..the white Boho….the white legging and the new white pull-on ponte pant. I also love it with the olive, smoke and hemp FJ bottoms. The nectar I have paired with the HEMP pull-on FJ skirt and the white ponte pant. It will also look great with white or indigo jeans, as well as the GREY, NAVY, or SMOKE FJ bottoms…..the options for mixing are endless…………….You know these will make the ideal takeaway T shirts….they pack to nothing and they are wash and wear……………….I can not emphasize enough……………….how easy and comfortable these are…..you will just want to wear one everyday…………..enjoy…….much Love……Louis

Today, I am introducing to you a new group of clothes that will be sold ON LINE ONLY. The fabric is called……………”FEATHER JERSEY”……………..Why Feather Jersey?………A little history………..Last summer, on a Saturday morning show with Leah Williams, I showed a brand new dress, A222262. It was a MAXI DRESS in a floral print. It came in three color combinations, violet/ivory, chartreuse/ivory and black/ivory. It sold out in THREE MINUTES, but besides selling out so quickly…..what was incredible was the wait list orders…….they were huge, and for a dress! The buyers asked my manufacturer [which is extremely rare], if it was at all possible to remake this dress for later in the summer. The factories are on strict monthly schedules, and were steeped in fall production. For them to stop their production to squeeze in another garment is a BIG DEAL, because everything gets pushed back. However, the fabric mill and the apparel factory where the dress was made, said they would do it. The dresses were shipped and as of today, once again, it is almost sold out [one or two sizes avail.]. I also had many requests to do this NEW FABRIC in solid colors. The women who owned the dress couldn’t believe how FLOWING, COOL, COMFORTABLE and FLATTERING this fabric was to wear, and this was coming from women located in the HOTTEST parts of the country………………………so “we” sat down at a meeting and thought, with the success of the dress and the requests for this fabric in solid colors, it would make a great group of solid separates for OLO selling…..I was very excited about the possibilities!…………….That is the history and the why FEATHER JERSEY came to be. It came from the incredible reception the dress received and the many requests to bring this fabric back………………………………The fabric itself is a 96% polyester and 4% spandex blend. It is very light in weight and the surface has a very fine slub or variegation to the yarn, giving the effect of a fine Linen/Silk look and FEEL………it is unlike ALL other poly/span jerseys out there………All of the Feather Jersey pieces can take on multiple roles…………….they can be super casual……..used for beach cover ups…..or worn sightseeing……..or just running round town….or just relaxing. They can also, with a change of accessories, be worn for more dressed up outings……a dinner out with friends, an engagement party or even a dressier occasion like a wedding. The feather jersey pieces are a wardrobe unto themselves. With the addition of a MAXI skirt, A233970 regular length and A233971, petite length, a SHORT PULL-ON SKIRT and a pair of PULL-ON pants, you can make multiple outfits……….This concept of taking one fabric and making a wardrobe of styles to mix and match is a very modern and easy way to dress……..needless to say, this group is perfect for the travelers amongst you…………..you really only need a carry on………….

The first style is…………A233965………….the HOODED TUNIC………….. Casual is the THEME of the Feather Jersey group……….mixed with a little DRAMA, and this HOODED TUNIC is the best example. The fabric drapes and moves with the motion of the body. It is sensuous to the touch which adds to the pleasure of wearing the garment. After a day on the beach, and after a wonderful shower….this would be the ideal piece to slip into………great for a sunset walk on the beach…………….Wear it with my new Feather Jersey pant or pull-on short skirt……or for that walk on the beach….  my cotton/span legging . Of course you can and should mix it with the many things you already own. In the photos above the ORCHID tunic is shown with the SMOKE FJ pull-on pant, and the NECTAR tunic is paired with my WHITE DENIM PENCIL SKIRT………..Belt it or not…..accessorize it or not…..it works for what ever need arises…………………if you try one………I know you will be back for more………..scroll down for more pics of the HOODED TUNIC………………….enjoy…………….much Love …………..Louis
