……………………………..MULBERRY……………..is the third and final color be offered in this BYZANTINE MOSAIC PRINT, and it truly is beautiful……….Mulberry, lavender, gray, fuchsia, pale yellow and pale olive….black white and mauve re just some of the colors that are to be found in this print………………Even in these shades….there is an EARTHY QUALITY and a feeling of times passed. I have it paired with my black Super Ponte legging, but there are so many different way to wear it…..black jeans for casual….black velvet for a holiday party……………….Jewelry really isn’t necessary with this top….an earring and maybe a bracelet will be enough……but if you choose to wear necklaces….they should be LONG. Again, the jewelry in the photos  are from my collection, and could easily show up on my QVC site………..someday!…………………………..

…………………………….In my series of FAUX SHETLAND SWEATERS, the V-NECK PULLOVER  and the Poncho……the BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN, A259619, is the third and final style. You know the yarn…80%acrylic/20%nylon. Many of you own it….know how it feels and know how it preforms, and the feed back I have received has ALL been positive. This cardigan is made in the same 8 gauge jersey knit with the same rib trims………….It is a classic V-neck cardigan, long sleeves and is approx. 32 inches long…..perfect for all of your Linea LEGGINGS……The DARK GRAY LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034, looks really good with this color cardigan……….HUNTER GREEN…….. There are many alternatives for your layering pieces. The WK Turtleneck, A72448, is now avail in the Hunter Green, as well as the WK TANK, A237404, both shown above. Coming in Jan I will be able to offer you the new WK ENR JEWEL NECK, SHORT SLEEVE essential….also in the HUNTER GREEN…..To tie it all up you have the HUNTER GREEN WK SCARF, A257914……As you can see from the photos above the Shetland Hunter Green is NOT a solid color….all of the Shetlands are HEATHERED…….and therefore are softer and not a saturated color…..the pale gray “hairs” are very evident…..making the cardigan a perfect pairing with any of my GREY BOTTOMS……The STONE trouser, A259702 for regular length, and A259705 for the petite length, also is a terrific alternative……however…….THE HUNTER GREEN WHISPER KNIT PANT, A257305 for reg and A257386 for petite, for me, is the PERFECT CHOICE……it is the only HUNTER GREEN PANT I have done, and you can not beat a DYED TO MATCH LOOK with ALL of your HUNTER GREEN WK TOPS…..This is something you should take advantage of while it is avail!…..Whisper Knit is pure COMFORT from head to toe……Accessorize with SILVER or GUNMETAL as in my 2 STRAND BEAD NECKLACE, J296893, or the MULTI CROSS NECKLACE, J270119 to give the look a little edge! For my petites who are saying this is TOO long…..roll the sleeve and you will be surprised how something you thought was overwhelming….all of a sudden looks GOOD!…………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………………….Louis

……………….The second choice in the SHETLAND BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN, A259619 is………….HEATHER GREY………………..and it is a WOW. The beauty of these sweaters is how LIGHT WEIGHT they are….how SOFT they are, and how RICH looking they are. These sweaters are suitable for every area of the country…..If you wear a cardigan at all…..you can wear this one. There are so many ways to wear these cardigans I could have done twenty different outfits….it all depends where and for what the occasion is………For casual a …T-Shirt and Jeans or LEGGINGS …like my BLACK, NAVY or DARK GRAY LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034. Jac wore the gray the other day and fell in love…..I better watch out! LOL……For dressier occasions…the wing collar shirt in the WHITE, PALE PINK or PALE BLUE, A259103, with my PINSTRIPE TROUSER in either the BLACK or NAVY, A259098 for the reg, and A259099 for the petite……….For still another look…..my IVORY SHIRT COLLAR WK SWEATER, A257383, and my Linea vintage pleated skirt…..Don’t forget….you are not completely dressed until you DRESS THE LEG…….For the outfit above I would choose the HEATHER GREY TIGHTS…..or any of the BLACK TIGHTS…..I think the PINSTRIPE would look incredibly good………The pin In SILVER with the IVORY PEARL and clear CRYSTALS, J296894… adds just the right touch…..The Clear Stone/Pearl and Silver Bead necklace…..gives more attitude a la Chanel….The SILVER SHRIMP EARRING with CLEAR CRYSTALS will be coming for the HOLIDAYS……..

…………The third choice in the BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN,A259619, is……..STONE………There is something about the wing collar shirt in PALE BLUE or PALE PINK with the STONE that epitomizes the MASCULINE/FEMININE trend that is so prevalent  on many of the SPRING 2015 runways……So you are ahead of the game………I love the LOVE KNOT NECKLACE peeking through…..it’s just the right length. Pick your bottoms…from JEANS to the NAVY PINSTRIPE PANT to the STONE PANT, both featured above……..The new STONE WK PENCIL SKIRT and the STONE ANIMAL INSTINCTS TIGHTS is a killer look. That’s mixing the CLASSIC with the EXOTIC………..Once in a while it’s good to add a little EXOTIC to your wardrobes, and this is such an easy way to do it…………………………………..enjoy……………much Love……………….Louis
