………………………VIOLET HAZE………….is a NEW Linea color, and the blouse is made in a NEW Linea fabric…..A298459 is the style number…..I wanted a color that was not in your face. By that I mean a color that wasn’t too bright or too harsh, or too dark, but still gives you color………..I wanted it to look VEILED…..as if someone took a sheer grey chiffon and placed it over a more vibrant violet. The veil of gray tones the violet down. That is what I wanted to achieve with this VIOLET HAZE, and I think it came out perfect………The fabric is new, but it is very similar to the flounce blouse, A294604. This fabric has natural stretch……..What is natural stretch? This occurs due to the specific weave or finish of the fabric. No spandex is necessary with fabrics with natural stretch…..it’s redundant……The previous blouse mentioned had spandex, but the two fabrics have the SAME stretch. The hand of the fabric has a slight sand washed finish, which gives it a SMOOTH DRY touch…….The blouse is approx. 26 inches long for the size 4. These blouses are NUMERICALLY sized. The sleeve has a trumpet bottom which continues to be a strong trend, and will continue all the way through next Fall 2018!….The shape is easy and follows the lines of the body, and the front has bust darts for a proper fit……………The SURPRISE of the garment is the PEEK A BOO BACK! It has a scoop which is not TOO deep and is VERY bra friendly……Trust me….we made absolutely sure about that. We even raised it more than necessary just to be on the safe side……….It’s a detail that takes the blouse from day to night. It can just as easily be worn with dress pants or a skirt….as a pair of jeans…….The top strap in the back holds everything in place and makes it very comfortable to wear. With this scoop back there is no possibility that it is too tight across the upper back area…….For you working gals, it’s perfect to wear with a jacket, or not, and then out to dinner or drinks with friends……I know the question will come up….”can I wear it back to front”. Due to the bust darts the answer is no……………..The new FLORAL and CRACKLE BEAD necklace and EARRING set, J350152, in the LILAC MIST is the perfect accessory. As you know I love BOLD jewelry, but there is a time and place for fragility……for delicacy, and for that purpose I think this is the perfect necklace. Do not be mistaken……this is not a necklace that will fade away. It has a strong presence without being bold……..The necklace and earring are due this month…………For another surprise…….look closely at the NEW SLIM LEG SUPER PONTE PANT, A297868 for reg. and A297874 for petite…..the color is………………..BLACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fit is very similar to the A265615 slim pant, only this is in the SUPER PONTE……I hope my petites are noticing more petites are being offered, and there are more to come! These pants will be part of my Nov. deliveries…..I think the pairing of the VIOLET HAZE and the BLACKBERRY is a spectacular UNEXPECTED combination…………With all the Holidays approaching, I think this will be the perfect choice……………enjoy…………………….much Love………………………..Louis
Beautiful blouse, and the very shade of violet that I was hoping would be chosen for the crepe tunic next spring.
Louis, is there elastic in the trumpet or is it just a seam? Love the violet color! Definitely getting that one and probably the black. If it gets reordered, I vote for navy.

It’s a seam…..no elastic
Both Regular & Petite pants have the same item number.
Oops….sorry…the petite is A297874
THIS petite pant wearer is paying attention to more petite pants being offered. I am new to your colony of pants wearers and am delighted by the several selections I have made.
[To be accurate, I bought two Feather Jersey pants about four or five years ago, but that was it.]
Aaaah! I love this!!! At least getting this color. Gorgeous! May I ask what size Jac wears in it? Numerical sizing is even more tricky so it is helpful to know that. Beautiful jewelry too.
Ohhhh this is really a cute outfit, Louis. May I ask what the inseam will be on the new pant in Regular? I wear the other slim pant as a high ankle pant in the warmer months with sandals, but have to tuck it in boots for the winter ( too short ). I need to determine if it will work with winter flats and ankle boots. Praying for 32″ since there are petites! 🙏🏻
Thanks!
Susan
Oooooh! Love this color!!
