…………………..A NEW WK TUNIC, A263355, is coming your way for spring…………It has an open JEWEL neckline, a three quarter sleeve length, and the body is in the jersey knit. The neckline and hem of the sleeve are finished with tubular trims……It has an ASYMMETRIC RIBBED BORDER that adds that special interest to this sweater. On the right side of the sweater there is a diagonal seam that starts above the waist line and proceeds in a diagonal slant  to the lower left side. There the sweater separates creating a slit opening. The border below the seams is an approx.12 inches wide of flat ribs which do NOT hug the body, but glide over it. You will also notice that there isn’t any side seam through the ribs on the right side….which would have created a wonky seam. The rib panel is all in ONE PIECE. This is the more designer, and may I add, expensive way to make the border. This is a very comfortable easy relaxed sweater. The sweater is approx 32″ to it’s longest point, and is approx. 27″ in length at the opposite side…….The color above is as relaxed and calming as the silhouette……………….TEAK…….is the new color……The GREY and SILVER FREE FORM BEAD NECKLACE, J317652, is the perfect foil to compliment this sweater……not too much, and not so fragile that it disappears. The SILVER BOLD HOOP, J288005, is my choice, but the SILVER DEMI HOOP, J270391, will work for those who want a smaller earring….Really, all of your longer necklaces…like the new DEW DROP PENDANT or the LONG PALM FROND NECKLACE will all be perfect………….The pant is a tan VINTAGE LINEA GABERDINE pant, A217971, for those who may already own it…….Khaki, sand, stone, wheat, fawn, ivory are pale colors I would recommend as bottoms……navy, walnut, ,grey and black would all work as dark bottoms. As for the type of bottom….pencil skirts as well as long slim skirts will all work, [wear it right now with the long black WK or LL skirts and boots]. Pants of all lengths, leggings and Capris will all compliment this sweater….so……………………………………………just enjoy…………………….much Love…………………………………….Louis

………………………………..Another soft and very flattering earthy color being offered in the new TUNIC SWEATER, A263355……is………..CINNAMON………………..These are great colors to transition from Fall to Spring.  Worn with a variety of bottoms and fabrics such as hemp linen, sorry I don’t offer linen, will carry you through summer and into next fall. Above, I have it paired with my WALNUT PONTE PANT, A237394R/256444P…..You can see how the natural slit at the side would give you all the room you may need, and making sitting very comfortable…..Once again, I have chosen the FREE FORM BEAD NECKLACE, J317652, in the ROOT BEER and GUNMETAL combination….a perfect compliment…..On her ear the BOLD HOOP in GUNMETAL, J288055. You also have the DEMI HOOP, or the SWIRL, J284033…both in GM to choose from…..Of course the entire PALM FROND GROUP….the LONG and the SHORT necklaces plus the EARRING are all now avail in GM, and would look spectacular with this tunic sweater………………enjoy…………much Love…………..Louis

………………………..For all the women who are always looking for a touch of nautical….with out it looking cliche…..this sweater in this…..NAVY…….is the right choice for you…….The SILVER FISH PENDANT is all the reference to the sea you will need to make that statement!………A WHITE PENCIL SKIRT or WHITE PANTS are a MUST……whether they are  Capri, cropped, slim leg, boot cut or wide leg pants…..the clean bold statement says it all………………………………………………..ship ahoy!……………………………enjoy……….much Love…………………….Louis

……………..Talk about a color to calm the soul…………….Sage is that color…………….The combination of the SAGE sweater with the VINTAGE CREPE LINEA TROUSER, A221798, which many of you own….the FREE FORM BEADS in the OLIVE and GOLD…..and the bold hoop in GOLD….is as soothing as aloe on the skin. I can’t think of a more sophisticated timeless and elegant look as the one above……Forget the fads….ignore the hype…..don’t listen to the hoopla……..Always remember……there is nothing like understated elegance……………………..enjoy…………….much Love………………………..Louis

…………..I have been teasing you on my previous appearances with sneak peaks of “stripe” sweaters….well….they have arrived. They are planned to be on my March second show, but I won’t know for sure until the final “script” of the show appears sometime at the end of next week……..so all of the sneak peaks I’m about to post….may or may not be on the next show….I never know……………………………………………………………..

A263356, is the style number of this cardigan. It is a WHISPER KNIT jersey sweater, and is approx. 27″ long. The sleeves are long with a 3″ solid rib border….so if you have short arms…no problem…just cuff them back. This is an easy sweater with a classic fit, so I see no need to size up or down. Of course if you like your clothes to  fit you in a “special” way…..then you should look at the click here measurements, but as I said….your normal size should be fine. The cardigan has a classic V-neck with 6 Signature Linea buttons…..in this case….GOLD with the GRASS GREEN and NAVY. PLEASE pay attention to the photo at the lower RIGHT. It shows how well the stripes match at the side seam. I know for many of you this is a given, but this is a much more costly way to manufacturer a sweater. It would be much easier for the factories to just lay the patterns down and cut. When a garment has to be lined up not only in the front, but the back to the front…..it takes more time and more fabric…..This all goes into the price of the garment……… This cardigan fits into anyone’s lifestyle whether you work or are retired. With jeans and the BLUE KATE SHIRT, A214116 or a NAVY WK SKIRT, A253411, you can literally go anywhere………The SIGNATURE GOLD LINEA EARRING, J230884, is a natural. The design is different enough from the button, purposely so, so you don’t look too coordinated and matched……I know this is one cardigan you will enjoy………..much Love…………………….Louis
