……………………The March 10 Designer Gallery had some fun pieces……Starting at the bottom left….a new Cotton stretch TRENCH JACKET. The double breasted jacket came in three fun colors….Yellow, Peony Pink and Turquoise. All three jackets had white details…white poker chip buttons, white cotton under the collar, the underside of the sleeve straps, and one side of the self fabric tie belt were all in white cotton . They were fully lined. A great way to start a colorful spring 2010…..The next jacket was an on trend “BASEBALL” jacket in leather and knit. The raglan sleeves were in fully fashioned ribbed knit, and the body, collar and contrast trims were all in leather….The inspiration came from the shoe at the lower left of the sketch. The Red, White and Blue jacket had Navy rib sleeves with White and Red stripe rib borders. The White leather jacket had  Red piping and red plastic exposed teeth zippers down the front and zipper pockets. Navy leather bands bordered the red zip pockets. The bottom had a navy leather band with red piping. What looked like a simple jacket had many different aspects and details to keep straight…It was a fun jacket to wear with  jeans. khaki or Ponte pants…..The second combination in the baseball jacket was Ivory, Orange and Tan…….Above is a georgette blouse. I’m a strong believer in a feminine blouse to broaden and complete a women’s wardrobe……They can be more versatile than what you may think and most of the time need no more care than a sweater or tee. This georgette blouse had contrast bands and ruffle trims. This button front blouse was great with dress pants and a skirt, and looked equally wonderful with jeans…..The color block tunic sweater was made in cotton/acrylic….It came in Mocha and Ivory and Turquoise and Navy……..Easy and comfortable…….a timeless top that is always in style.
