…………………The MIDNIGHT WK LUREX SWEATER……………A390844………is a BALLET NECK style sweater……A question you all want to know……”is it soft or scratchy?’ The answer is absolutely no….It is not scratchy!……There are many qualities of lure yarn, and this is a very very fine thread which makes all the difference. Combined with the Whisper Knit yarn it becomes a very soft blend….I can not guarantee that for those who are extremely super sensitive they will not feel it, but no one who has tried it on feels anything…..I think it’s more the case of “The Princess and the Pea”.Of all the lurex color yarns I could have chosen I decided I wanted as dark a navy lurex as existed. I wanted the effect to be subtle not garish or bright, so it can easily be worn during the day or night…..It is also a sweater that can be worn all year long….The sweater has a raglan long sleeve, and the sweater is slightly shaped so it isn’t boxy, but gently follows the lines of the body….The neckline is an open ballet finished with a tubular band which frames the face. It also lends itself to many different types of necklaces…..Originally I developed the sweater to wear with the Midnight Navy sequin pant, but as I “played” with it it soon became apparent that it was much more versatile than I first thought. It looks great with jeans, navy ponte pants white jeans, trousers and crops or Capri pants come spring. In Dec. there will be a navy faux suede pant too. Wear the sweater under all types of plaids, tweeds and colors of blazers and jackets…..even a jean jacket. There is really no end to what you can pair this sweater with…………..Above, I have accessorized the outfits with the new SWAG necklace and earring in the GUNMETAL/MIDNIGHT, the five strand COUTURE NECKLACE and earring, and to the far right, the new CARINA pearl necklace……..I know you too will find many things you already own to pair the sweater with………………………………..enjoy………….much Love………………….Louis

……………………THE BLACK LUREX WK SWEATER……………….If any dressy/casual sweater can be considered an essential….the Black lurex WK sweater is the one…..You can see from all the photos above the many ways you can wear this sweater…..from the fall and winter straight through to the beginning of summer, and depending where you live….summer too…..Day or night, dressy or casual this sweater can find an easy place in your wardrobe. Some example above are the BLACK SEQUIN PANT, and the SILVER EMB. SKIRT. It looks particulary wonderful with the BLACK SUEDE SKIRT and the GOLD Anniversary pedant…..a pair of beautiful black suede boots will look like you are wearing a very expensive outfit. Pair it with many style jackets including ALL of the new fall winter jackets from the basic blazer to the riding jacket and the new topper to the tweeds and plaids…..Black and white is always the best combination, but a pop of color like the Vivid Pink blazer with the subtle sparkle of the lurex is truly special and raises the impact……..Many of your spring/summer bottoms will look new and fresh with a sparkly sweater. Don’t forget all of your print bottoms that “need” a new top to give them new life…………………….enjoy………………….much Love…………………….Louis

………………….THE ALABASTER SWEATER……………………..Alabaster is a year round neutral color…….a wonderful accent color……………The lurex is a platinum gold so it is very subtle though it does effect the overall color of the alabaster WK……Due to this mix it is not a perfect match to your Alabaster pieces that you may already own. It is a beautifully soft color that can brighten any outfit………………………………enjoy………….much Love………………Louis

……………….I have waited and waited all summer for the MORNING GLORIES to bloom…..but to no avail…..Franco told me they must all be male plants? How can you tell in the spring when you are buying six 3 inch plants which are male and which are female!?………Well, here it is almost November, and the Morning Glories have decided to bloom! I guess there must have been a female in the bunch!………….As the saying goes, “better late then never”………….Now all of Jac’s favorite flowers have had their day in the sun…………and I’m happy!………………much Love, Louis

…………….The PLUM RUFFLE BLOUSE….. A390842…..is the epitome of femininity. This is the year of the FEMININE BLOUSE………..The fabric is the woven CRINKLE GEORGETTE that I have used for many years. I used to use a silk version years ago, and you really can’t tell the difference…………This blouse is ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS……….The RUFFLE DETAILS start at the neckline which is an open style……The armholes are trimmed with ruffles, and the FULL SLEEVES have a double row of ruffles which are shirred into a narrow button cuff. There is shirring at the center front of the neckline, and shirring in the cap of the sleeve to give the sleeve more fullness which achieves a billowy effect………The body of the blouse is lined in a flat georgette…….It is numerically sized from 2 to 28…………..The PLUM color is rich and deep and matches and blends beautifully with your new Plum pieces……I think it is the ideal blouse to wear under the TCF RIDING JACKET, and TCF Plum pencil skirt,……Under the jacket just a bit of ruffle shows…..until you remove the jacket for THE BIG REVEAL!……The PLUM WK MIDI SKIRT and the PLUM PONTE PANT are both great options to wear with the blouse…….The blouse would also look fabulous with a vintage velvet boho skirt as well as JEANS!…………This is a collectors piece and something you will cherish for years to come…………………enjoy…………………….much Love………………………..Louis
