“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

“THE NAVY LEATHER/KNIT JACKET”

………………………….DEEP RICH LINEA NAVY LEATHER…..not an easy color to achieve! You don’t want it too too dark so it looks black, but you don’t want it too light either…..When it gets really cold I recommend layering with light WK sweaters. You know what they say…..”many light layers is better than a heavy one”. Each layer traps the body heat and keeps you warmer. I have chosen the mock neck tunic, A303029 worn with the short cardigan, A343031, and my Indigo jeans, A304733. All of the BLUES work perfectly with one another………To finish it off the BLUE STATION NECKLACE, J356989, which just adds enough bling when worn with jeans…………….For a dressier look, switch the jeans with my Navy WK pencil skirt, A343131, and the necessary LINEA NAVY TIGHTS, A343938………………………enjoy………………much Love………………………..Louis

“THE BLACK LEATHER/KNIT JACKET”

………………………………How many BLACK Jackets can one woman own? That is a question you would never ask Jac. There were never enough. Her walk in closet is 90% black. Other than white, it was practically all she wore. Yes, Jac would have definitely worn the Port, and the DFG when the mood hit her, but BLACK anything was her go to. Sometimes I’d laugh when she asked if I liked a certain outfit on her or not. I’d say “Hon, it’s black, you always look great in black!”. She’d squint her eyes and look to see if I was being sarcastic or not…..The truth is….Jac always looked fantastic no matter what she put on………………..So, if you need, or better still, want a black leather topper, that’s up to you. I will say, black is always the biggest seller, theĀ  color that is always bought the deepest…….Black takes on so many personalities. If you’re feeling casual….a tee and black jeans…….Saturday running around with friends, layer a color over the tee, like the Malachite V-neck swing sweater or the WK Black tank, keeping the look EDGIER……..A black dress, sweater and skirt for dressier occasions will be perfect…..and over the new SEQUIN PANTS, when going to a neighbors Holiday party will be just the ticket! I guess that’s why Jac wore Black so much. It was easy and always dramatic……………….Please take notice of the NEW “ART NOUVEAU PENDANT” which is the perfect throw on accessory……coming soon in silver/black or gold/black……….enjoy………………..much Love…………………….Louis
