…………….IF………..you only buy one WHISPER KNIT KIMONO…….it must be the………….BLACK………….This will be the most VERSATILE piece of clothing in your entire wardrobe, and for me a MUST HAVE, a LINEA ESSENTIAL……a  BUILDING BLOCK!…………If I had to choose FIVE PIECES for you to live in all Spring and Summer from the Linea Collection…………it would be the  BLACK WK KIMONO, A229721….the WK BLACK PENCIL SKIRT, A229722, the IVORY CREPE PANT, A253576,  the BLACK SCOOP NECK WK SHORT SLEEVE SWEATER, A229722 [the V-neck if you prefer], and the COTTON CAPRI LEGGING, A233186, in white or black…..coming in May. Why no dress?…..the matching sweater and skirt gives you that look already. With these FIVE pieces….you could ……..be casual…..or go to work…..go to dinner or a fancy event …….with minimum accessories you could…….TRAVEL THE WORLD….with a carry on!…. For WINTER…change the White pant to BLACK……and instead of the Capris………..a pair of jeans……..then, of course…..my “greedy little songbirds” will inevitably want to add on  a few extras….a NATURAL FLECKED TANK, A224278, [ as shown above], perhaps my White Cotton shirt A214116……..To bring along on your travels…I would suggest my BLACK BEAD NECKLACE, J270117, and the stretch SLICE CUFF, J270118………..The wardrobe building begins………from the ………..five essential  LINEA pieces……………………..Enjoy…………………………….much Love…………………………………………………Louis

The FLECKED TANK, A224278……is in and available for ordering!……………..SEA FOAM……..is the first color I am showing to you, and it is a brand NEW COLOR. As you can see from the photos above it is a beautiful watercolor…..color……..a color that is hard to describe, but a picture is worth a thousand words………….This is an ACCENT COLOR……there are no SEA FOAM clothes coming to match…..but, I am sure it works with so many things you already own, and if it doesn’t I am offering you plenty of options to go with it…..all you need is a little imagination………….Above, I took the TWIG LINEN PANT, which is avail in size 8 petite only, and paired it with the LATTE SHORT SLEEVE CARDIGAN, A253409…..and accented the pieces with the Sea Foam tank……adding the BLUE MIST PEARLS, J264035…..and you have a wonderfully sophisticated outfit that looks like you weren’t trying too hard….which is something you always want to achieve when putting clothes together…….The total look is SOFT, FEMININE and CHIC………………With a change of cardigans…..in this case the reorder FLORAL CARDIGAN, A233856, in the new BLACK combination, and the addition of the new BLACK COTTON SATEEN PANT, A254640, coming in MAY…..you have a totally different look with the SEA FOAM TANK………….FYI….the BLACK LINEN TWEED PANT also looks INCREDIBLE with the floral cardigan and tank………a softer more relaxed look….and a wonderful combination of colors and TEXTURES…….It certainly says….”This woman knows what she is doing”…………………….scroll down………………………………………….enjoy………much Love…………………………………………………………..Louis

The second NEW COLOR I am offering to you in the FLECKED TANK, A224278, is……………………..SILVER GRAY…………………..I have already presented this to you on the last show, worn by Jac under the the PEWTER SUIT. We have discussed many times the difficulty, for some, of wearing different shades of gray…………………This is a color I think the majority of you can wear. The slight sheen of the yarn, like silk, and the delicate flecks of black give it life that many other fabrics don’t possess………….I, like many of you, love the COOLING EFFECT of SILVER GRAY and WHITE………….Above, I have the CLASSIC WK CARDIGAN, A233940, now avail. in WHITE, with the WHITE COTTON SATEEN PANT, A254640, coming in May………….That is  one fabulous way to look this summer…..and the WHITES ALL WORK TOGETHER……not an easy feat!………….For a touch more serious, and maybe more office appropriate, I have also paired the cardigan and the SILVER GRAY TANK with the new PEWTER CREPE PANT, A253576…………….or for my FEATHER JERSEY LOVERS…..the SMOKE MAXI SKIRT, A233970, in the regular length, and A233971 in the petite length………..all you need is a pair of SILVER SANDALS to keep it all COOL!……………………Of course the jewelry is all LINEA…………The CLEAR 72 inch glass beads, J284043, which are at the moment sold out…..The station classic necklace with the emerald cut clear stones, and silver metal and silver pearls scattered through out, J287999…………FYI, the pink combination of this necklace has been reordered and I believe one of the LINEA LADIES received an e-mail saying the wait list people would get them in June. I have to be honest….we all have our favorites, and as beautiful as the pink is…..my favorite is the CLEAR with silver, and I’m a little surprise it’s still avail, but there aren’t many left….so I’m happy about that………..To complete the………TRIFECTA………of necklaces…… is a new CLEAR GLASS FACETED BEAD necklace. It has two sizes of ROUND FACETED GLASS BEADS, suspended from a beautiful, delicate silver chain….coming in JULY…….no style number yet……….The three together are simply FANTASTIC!……..To finish the look….the CLEAR GLASS DROP EARRING, J284042……This earring goes with EVERYTHING…..if you need to shorten it…..it is easily accomplished……This is the perfect illustration of LINEA JEWELRY WARDROBE BUILDING…….

……..LAST…. but not LEAST…..is the color tank that started it all……………..NATURAL………….As I have told you many times………….every time I dye a fabric in a color…..even a color I have done before I receive new lab dips to approve, and inevitably the colors always come out slightly different……..that too is the case with the natural tank. I really didn’t have to mention it, but if you own the original and wanted to get a second, they will be slightly different………it’s always better to be up front, and to let you know what you are getting before hand. It is STILL a WONDERFUL NEUTRAL color, and will go with so many things you own………Above, I have chosen to show it with the BLACK WK KIMONO OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN, A233950, and the NEW BLACK ENR WK SKIRT, A253411, which is the same length as the classic acrylic wool ENR pencil skirt. This WK pencil skirt is an ESSENTIAL which is a must have……………Why did I choose a black outfit to high light this NATURAL TANK…..because, 95% of you wear black, and it can be more interesting to wear this FLECKED tank than a solid tank all the time………..it gives depth and interest to what you are wearing……………..the jewelry is all from my collection, and sorry it  is not avail…….enjoy…………………..much Love…………………………………Louis

The denims should be on line either starting on the 18th , 19th or 20th…..that’s the words I got…….no sooner.
