………………I honestly don’t remember what this “Designer’s Day” was about. It wasn’t the beginning of Spring, but it was my 6th year anniversary month so it was special to me. The group started with a beautiful cotton sateen open front jacket in RED, WHITE and BLACK with GOLD GROMMETS bordering the hem and sleeves….next to that was a RAYON crinkle tiered GYPSY skirt. Between each tier was a row of gold sequins. This was a fun cruise, summer skirt in RED, BLACK and WHITE…….Above the sketch of the skirt is the first BODY SUIT I did for QVC. Of course there were a lot of objections to having a “bodysuit” as part of the line, but I insisted. I think it may have been the first bodysuit they ever sold. I had done a slew of them for Anne Klein and they were always successful. It was made in a very silk fine quality cotton and spandex, and it too was a selling success. It came in RED, WHITE and BLACK…..all to go with the peasant skirt and grommet jackets…..all worn together it was a fun look…..There is NOTHING SLEEKER than a body suit. You never have to worry about things popping out from you skirts or low cut jeans and pants. They surprised women about how flattering they were. If they were made correctly with a correct pattern , the snap crotch was easy to handle……..The next sweater was a ballet neck with a 3/4 sleeve. It had bugle bead hand emb around the neckline. They were descending twists……………The next SILK chiffon tunic was a cabbage rose. It came from my archives of prints I had sampled from Europe. It had a matching SILK CREPE de CHINE printed tank so one on top of the other almost gave a 3-D effect. The colors were RED, NAVY, FUCHSIA and GREEN………………May was off to a good start.
Finally, something I actually own! The jacket with grommets, I have the red and still wear it. It is just as beautiful as it was when I bought it. I always get compliments when I wear it. Loving the trip down memory lane. Stay well Louis.
Louis, just heard on the national news that Walgreens in CT will have the vaccines.
Seyma, do you know if you can just go or do you have to make an appt?
That wasn’t addressed. However, many states have approved 65 and up. Many people I know here in Los Angeles were shopping in pharmacies and markets walking by the vaccine unit and were asked if they would like to have the injection. I was told that the people who had made the appointments hadn’t shown up. You can check it out on the internet. I had my first injection at UCLA Santa Monica on Saturday. My arm hurt for three days and I had red blotches on my face and neck.
Everyone I know only had the arm reaction. I had the Moderna, there was no choice. Dr. Fauci, when he had the second dose, said he had flu symptoms and was in bed for 24 hours. I don’t look forward to the second dose. At least Fauci has a wife who is also a physician, I live alone.
Here in Ct they just lowered the age to 65 so I can now get the vaccine. They said CVS was giving the shots so I went on line and there isn’t a CVS ANYWHERE NEAR ME that gives the shots! The CVS stores that are giving shots were totally booked up. I found that unbelievable! So I called the hospital and got an appointment for March 8th. I’d rather go to a hospital than a CVS anyway.
I agree about going to the hospital, UCLA is where my physician is. When you get your first vaccine they will give you a card, COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card. The person who injects you will fill in the date, lot #, and location. You will bring it back for the final injection. The nurse told me to keep the card and put in a plastic cover. She said
that in the future we might need it to fly, etc. I put it with my passport. I can feel the plane lifting off the tarmac!
Good advise…I’m still planning to go on Safari in Aug but with the new South African virus who knows!
The rose print big shirt and tank are TDF! I never got my hands on one of those, sadly.
