April Sneak Peek #4 & # 5, is the IKAT PRINT TOP, A233188, and the IKAT PRINT SKIRT, A233189, in the third color combination…………….PURPLE……….. Why purple….I’m not sure..,..the predominate color is OLIVE….so if you want the OLIVE combo…order PURPLE…..I told you it was a little confusing!!! Out of the three combinations, the PURPLE ,[Olive], has the earthiest colors. I would not say it is muted, but a bit more neutral. The colors are……….OLIVE……PURPLE…………….CHARTREUSE……………PEACOCK GREEN………..KHAKI……….PUMPKIN ………WALNUT ….&……LIGHT BEIGE……….In the photos above, I have the skirt paired with the PALE OLIVE FLECKED SHELL, A224278, and over the shell…….either the PALE OLIVE FAUX HERRINGBONE BLAZER, A226258 or the A214117 ESPRESSO SAFARI SHIRT……two totally different attitudes and looks. Another totally different way to wear the skirt is with the TOBACCO TANK, A232345, and the TOBACCO SHRUG, A232520,……. and again, the matching print top……..for a two piece dress look…………With the top I have the new FEATHER JERSEY DRAPED PANT in the Olive ……the WALNUT WORKS TOO. Naturally, the PALE OLIVE HERRINGBONE pant, A226258, works also. The vintage LINEA TOBACCO COTTON SATEEN crop pant, A199262, also looks great with this top…..NEVER give those away….they always seem to work back with something new!……………..The J278125 bead and hammered ring necklace and companion earring, J278127 look great combined with the J271862 necklaces. They are listed as BLACK?????there is no black whatsoever in the necklace, and Bronze they are both perfection with this color IKAT print………..The new AMBER and OLIVE necklaces and earrings shown with the Tobacco sweater set and the Pale Olive blazer and shell will also be avail on the 3rd of April…….OLO [On Line Only]. I will have separate sneak peeks on the 4 pieces that will be avail.
I sincerely hope you like my new IKAT PRINTS…….they were a joy to work on, and I am very pleased with the final result……………….enjoy…………….much Love………………….Louis
Another question – the purple in here – how does it compare to the iris whisper knit top that was an add-on to the last blazer TSV? Could I use it?
Dear Irma….I double checked my samples and YES, they look good together!
Love, love, love this combination.. I was wondering about the tobacco shrugs. I really would like the tobacco – but they are sold out of the small or medium. Not even doing a waitlist. Will there be a reorder of this? Or maybe a cardigan? What about the blazer? Will there be a future reorder?
Dear Irma……I have no idea about reorders yet…..it usually takes a good 3 months to evaluate whether a garment meets the reorder standards.At this point I would guess no. If you mean the topaz jacket from last fall…..yes they will go nicely together.I will be offering more Topaz sweaters for the Fall WK OLO
[on line only] program
Since I have almost EVERYTHING in this photo, this color is a no brainer for me!!!!
Louis, this IKAT is sooooo good!!!! Must have the pink also.
One more thing, while hunting in my “suit” closet, I found a tank in this EXACT color (the lighter olivey, stone color between the dark olive color of the skirt)
and a suede dyed to match jacket! Do you think I can pull in my turquoise jewelry with this look?
I don’t see why not….sounds good to me. Of course there are different colors of turquoise…..some is very blue and some is greener. I think the greener will work better.
I was thinking I might only purchase the navy Whisper Knit this 4/3 show, but this purple/olive ikat print looks great! I have no ikat at all. So this is a good choice to brighten up and stretch my earthtone closet for spring.
Question: Will the topaz blazer A229475 work with this purple/olive print? Looks a bit darker to me than the tobacco in the photos, but I’m hoping. Love the blazer. If not, that’s okay. I have the olive A226258 jacket as well.
The topaz matches perfectly to the print!….With a pair of dark brown boots for the winter you’ll be good to go.
Hi, Louis!
Thank you so much for all the sneak peeks. It is so helpful for planning what to purchase and how to add it to an existing wardrobe. I am not a fan of prints but YOU have changed that. I prefer this more neutral skirt. I have the tobacco tank and shrug, the olive and neutral tanks and the espresso shirt so I will have many combos.
I am most interested in the new feather jersey pants. Can you tell me what colors they will be available in? I hope black is one! These look so comfortable and seem that they would travel well.
I hope you and Jac have a blessed Easter. Much love back to you, Fran
Dear Waterbaby, this particular pant will be in olive, walnut and berry. As I was saying to Jeanie. I will soon have an entire group in this “FEATHER JERSEY” to be sold “On Line Only”. I will be offing another pull-on pant in many colors, but unfortunately Black is not one of them…..my fault. I was afraid black might look washes out or charcoal in this fabric but I was wrong….too late to do anything about for this season, but I will do black in the future.
