BTW…..Iris  Apfel wore the velvet pant boot with a long fitted brocade Raj jacket.

………………………The LACE INSERT TOP, A351465, is back in THREE NEW COLORS………………Ivory is one of the three……..This top has a very fragile feminine quality, and always gets very positive compliments……..The BEIGE LACE remains the same as the original colors. The color of the Ivory cotton ground is influenced by the very fine beige lace threads that are woven in the back of the fabric, and then show up for the lace. This is a very special weaving method…..sort of like a jacquard. Therefore the ivory color is not as white or pure ivory as it appears above. It is a little more creamy, but still has the same contrast as the photos above. I didn’t want anyone to think this would be a perfect match with your ivory pieces….though I do like them together…………I have used the BEIGE TANK, A304658, as the layering piece. Since the lace is see through you will need a tank. The Beige is the perfect color…………For the bottom I have used the BEIGE SUPER PONTE CAPRI PANT, A351410, which also works perfectly with the tank and lace top………………….I chose the SANTA FE necklace and earring set, J485358 in the Buttercream to accessorize the top. The combination of the pearls and the suede cords was a perfect blend. It is also very special and unique and elevates the entire look…………………..enjoy…………………………much Love………………………Louis

……………………..GRAPHITE……………..is the name of this color………………To illustrate just how the beige threads INFLUENCE the color of the garment…..this fabric was dyed BLACK!….To my surprise this beautiful grey was born!! What was to be a black and beige top turned out to be a Graphite and Beige top…..In the the business of fashion sometimes accidents create the most marvelous things…………Again, I am using the Beige knit tank and the Beige knit Capri pant……………This time I have chosen the Tan GLITTERATI NECKLACE & EARRING SET, J482966. The variation of colors in the faceted glass beads looks like this necklace was made to go with this top. You will never find anything better…………………..enjoy………………much Love……………..Louis
