…………………..August 08………..Hello Fall/Winter……..August had some amazing jackets, and some beautiful novelty sweaters…………Starting at the top is a DB combination Pea and Trench jacket…..The fabric was an up scale fleece/velour type fabric. It was super cozy and it came in three fun colors….Raspberry, Chartreuse and Tangerine…..all great with jeans and an ivory TN…….The next jacket was in suede with gutsy knit rib trims appropriate for an outer wear suede jacket…….The collar was in the rib knit….It rolled over and had one button creating a “stand”….It had raglan sleeves with wide rib bands at the bottom, and at the bottom of the jacket. The look was very Town & Country…….The colors were Teal and Black………The Boucle jacket below had a sort of “Field and Stream” sporty look. It had fabulous “washed leather” trims. The collar the banding down the front, The pocket flaps, sleeve hems were all in the leather. Plus there were leather tabs down the front under each button……and the leather Shoulder Caps added a lot to that Field and Stream look……The colors were Moss and Chestnut…….The next Boucle jacket to the left had more of an “UPTOWN” look. It was zip front and had these very architectural body seams. The trims were all narrow strips of BLACK PATENT LEATHER. The colors were Aubergine and Black………The next two sweater knits had that “Hermes” pure, timeless classic look. They were both in a cotton/rayon blend…….The cardigan jacket was in a pronounced ENGLISH RIB. The collar front band and pocket bands were in washed faux leather, which for me made them look and feel like the real thing. Even today when I feel the large swatches in my binder I still have to read the notes that they are faux………The dress was in an ENR…….it had a faux leather placket down the front Henley style and on the sleeves….Both the cardigan and the dress had beautiful quality TURN KEY closures…..The colors were Black on Black, a deep rich Cranberry with Black and a beautiful Cream with black…….This type of clothing is ageless and pure CLASS. A very monied low “key” look.
Love the dress with the turnkey closures from the Aug 08 collection. If you will no longer be on QVC, I feel like there will be a void for us women who are looking for professional clothing for work.
Julia, I have to agree with you. The reasons they wanted me 20 years ago are the same reasons they dropped me. They are going in a different direction so I doubt they bring anyone in who designs my type of clothing or it will be very hypocritical.
Glad to hear to hear you got your first shot, have antibodies, and most of all that you’re well after having Covid. I’ve had my shots and it is such a good feeling to be with friends again more and to be out and about more. Hope everyone is vaccinated soon and things can open up and continue to go well.
I know so many people who had it, but luckily no one who had to be hospitalized. I’m glad you’re around to tell the tale!
I have the black dress and the black and the cranberry sweaters with turnkey locks and faux leather trim. The cotton rayon fabric is really nice. I’ve had these for years with no fading in the sweaters and minimal in the dress. This set is the perfect combination of style plus comfort. These are another two sweaters that take up a whole lot of storage real estate, but are just too good to let go of. Those fleece jackets were so darn cute, but not colors that I could wear, although I gave them more than a few long, hard looks.
Spring is in the air here in So Cal. My favorite time of year here. It was daylight when I started making dinner last night. My husband and I get our second vax shots next week. Things are looking up!
I get my first shot on Monday. I did have Covid over Thanksgiving. I recently went for my physical exam and blood tests showed I have the antibodies.
