……………….If you thought the only way to wear the TROPICAL KIMONO was with white or white and black, or all black……guess again. As I started to go through my samples, as you will go through your closets, you will start to pull out things you think might just work. Nine times out of ten they will. What I am showing above is just the beginning of the possibilities…..Let me first say…nothing has to match exactly, nothing above does, but it looks like it does….The eye blends it all together…OK…Starting at the left, the Admiral Blue and Island Fuchsia Moss Crepe dresses, A302606. Next, the new [coming this July] COTTON/MODAL V-neck Tee in India Pink, A351114 [no it doesn’t match the shantung jacket, nothing will, but it blends], with white crop pants, A349647. Next, the Mallard Blue Moss Crepe sleeveless V-neck dress, A306344. I haven’t begun to play with all the Tee shirts and WK tops I have stored away, but I thought I didn’t want to take all the fun away from you to discover the myriad of ways to put this Tropical Kimono together………….Then the accessories! Holey Moley, I sure am glad I’m doing jewelry now……Put your Iris Apfel hats on because it’s time to have fun and layer your necklaces….A little eccentric….absolutely….but a way to stand apart from the crowd, and create your own thing……a way to be creative in how you dress….A bit eccentric is a GOOD THING……I was so surprised at how it all came together. I wasn’t really planning for these necklaces to work together, but work together they do……starting from the left….the Silver Tortue,361087 with the Blue and Silver Ox Berber, J392832 with the Silver Ox and Black Moroccan necklace, J477433. They all come with earrings so just pick!…..Next The VOODOO, J391570, with the new Blue Bedouin necklace, J478051. I could have easily added the Black Lord of the Rings, J393304, just to fill the space!! Next the Silver Ox Tortue, J361087, with the Blue Bedouin and the Silver Ox and Black Moroccan. It may sound like a lot, and for some it definitely is, but this would just be a starting point for Iris!….Layering jewelry is just a way of adding texture and interest to your outfit…..and it’s just fun. There will be women looking at you and thinking I wish I had the courage to pull that together. Others, with no imagination will just wonder….. You will find it doesn’t take courage at all, and once you get used to it you will feel naked without your treasures. I can’t imagine what Iris feels like when she takes off all of her accessories….Lighter I’m sure, but definitely like a turtle without it’s shell………………….enjoy…………………….we only LIVE ONCE so have FUN!…………………………..much Love…………………….Louis
