……………………….I would guess that most of you have good memories of the silk window pane jacket, and I would also guess that many of you still have them all these years later, and are still enjoying them. I am always thinking how I can re-envision a WINDOW PANE jacket………This Black and White jacket above, A347439, isn’t silk, but there are similarities besides the pattern like shape and length……This is a woven fabric. It is a blend of 33% Rayon, 65% polyester and 2% spandex. It has a spread shirt collar, five shiny black poker chip buttons down the front, band POCKETS, and side slits. The jacket is unlined for an easy un-constructed look……….The 3/4 sleeve is adorned with a marvelous floral applique. There is dimension to some of the flowers with stamens that are 3-D. It is a beautifully done border piece that reminds me of the trims I used to get from Swiss companies…..The jacket is approx. 25 1/2 inches long for the size 4. Yes, the jacket is NUMERICALLY SIZED……….You can wear it with nothing underneath as a top, or wear it with a simple Tee shirt or one of my sleeveless pieces. Try a hit of color with a white bottom…..A pant, Capri, crop pant [yes there is a matching pant, but more about that later], Bermudas or shorts all look perfect. For a dressier look a white pencil [coming this month], with a black patent sling back with a kitten heel would look great! Even a color shoe will add a great punch!……………There are many accessories you can choose….starting with the GEO necklace and earring set in black, J354000, the Trapeze Black necklace, J331644, and the Art Nouveau pendant, J387777, are all avail now. There are also many new pieces coming in SHINY BLACK or Faceted Glass beads in Black/White and Crystal.The FLOWER POWER NECKLACE and EARRING above, will be here in Feb…….For something a little dressier All of the Black and Fireball necklaces or the torsade in PEARL/JET, and FIREBALL beads, J358186, plus the JET TASSEL, J387783, ALL work beautifully……………….So many pieces you own….the Black/White Carnival [avail NOW], or one of the Fish all work too…..so many options for so many different looks………………………………………enjoy………………………..much Love………………………………Louis
