“THE DARK FOREST GREEN LEATHER/KNIT JACKET”
……………………….Jac used to own a Dark Forest Green maxi leather coat that she got as a present from one of the designers she worked for. I must admit it was absolutely beautiful. She rarely wore it, because I think she didn’t want to hurt my feelings…even when I said to her, “why don’t you wear that beautiful green leather coat?”. She just chose something of mine…..It just hung in the upstairs closet until she gave it away. Jac would say to me, “you should do that beautiful dark forest green like my leather coat”…….I knew she loved that coat, and I felt badly that she wouldn’t wear it………………she was my girl……………….so here it is……………..Jac’s Dark Forest Green………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
There are so many colors that look incredible with DFG like all purples from lavender to jewel colors, reds, oranges, aqua to royal blue, mint to malachite green, pale pink to tea rose to hot pink….and fuchsia and magenta…caramel and port, raspberry and merlot. I can go on and on…….Above, I have chosen what has become a signature…..the column of color…..It is definitely the most slenderizing way to wear color. Fashion is moving away from all the mixes of pattern and color, and coming back to the uber sophistication of tonal column dressing………The outfit above comprises of the DFG WK TN, A72448, new this season and avail. now…..the DFG long open front cardigan, A343439, and the DFG Super Ponte pant, A268216, also avail now……….Yes, the cardigan is longer than the jacket. It’s a look that is now universally accepted. There was a time that this bothered many, but it is like anything else….your eye gets used to seeing it and you start to like the new proportion and casualness of it……The SAGE necklace, J356989, again is the perfect touch. The Teal and Plum Carnival necklaces work well to, but for something less showy, the station necklace is superb!…………………….enjoy…………..much Love………………..Louis
