“THE BOUCLE V-NECK SWEATER”

Aug 2013 show6

The BOUCLE V-NECK SWEATER, is A236148……….The color above is……….WALNUT……….This is a beautifully constructed and knit sweater. There are vertical ribs that OUTLINE the V of the sweater ……come together at the point and continue down to the hem. This technique of finishing the neckline avoids adding looped on trims which can add bulk to what is a very LIGHT WEIGHT sweater. The sleeves and hem of the sweater are finished with matching ribs. The sleeves are long. I measure the sweater to be, laying flat, approx. 26 to 26 1/2 inches long…..always check your QVC measurements for accuracy.  Due to the weight, this is the perfect layering piece…..you can add a tank, T-shirt, or cami if you wish…to show at the top or not. The yarn is super soft, so it is very comfortable against the skin…The yarn takes dye well, so the colors are deep and saturated. The up close photos, with the flash, make the yarn look shiny….it is not..  ……..In the above photos I have the sweater paired with the NEW WALNUT SUEDE/KNIT JACKET……..&………The FEATHER JERSEY PENCIL SKIRT in the olive, A233969. I truly think this skirt has been over looked, and would be the PERFECT year round skirt for my Southern Ladies, and those who live in a mild climate.. It is fully lined, does not CLING….washable and totally comfortable. I would love for you to read the reviews…….it really is a sleeper………..The earring is the Olive combination of J271863. I show a lot of OLIVE, and for me, this earring is the perfect compliment…………..the necklace is being considered for next SPRING 2014…..another necklace inspired by the NORTH AFRICAN people……if you are a sweater collector, and like different yarns….this one may capture your fancy……………….enjoy……….much Love…………Louis

    Louis, is this quite a bit heavier than the summer boucle pullover sweaters you had last month? I got them in the fuschia and black–love them.

    Love. AND the Q MUST be convinced to carry the olive necklace in the spring.

    Hi, Louis! I hope QVC SERIOUSLY considers this necklace! I just love African jewelry and have a growing collection as our daughter brings back Christmas presents for us when she is in Africa working on her water project. It’s very hard to find here in the US and is quite pricy when you do find it. This necklace is right up my alley! Safe travels and “see” you and Jac on Monday.

    Thanks, Louis, about answering my question. I think the walnut top, paired with black is a must for me. I already ordered your gun metal and rootbeer necklace as well as your multi irregular bead necklace. Can’t wait to see how this boucle sweater will look with them.

    See you & Jac on Monday,
    Dariann

      Dear Dariann….since I am planning to show the walnut sweater with the gunmetal/root beer necklace and the GUNMETAL/ROOT BEER cross….it had better look good…LOL

    Hi again, Louis. I am living in that FJ pencil skirt this summer—I got it in the Olive, the Aqua and the Flamingo. The A214114 Animal Print top in Olive goes great with the skirt for an early Fall look; and the A199799 Medallion Print top in Olive goes perfectly—and pop on the A232350 Denim Jacket in Sunburst Yellow and it is quite an outfit! I hope this skirt comes back in more colors next year—I especially want ALL Feather Jersey pieces in Black–I know, I’m being selfish and demanding—sorry, I lost control for a second—LOL!

    I really love this boucle knit. It’s a great California Girl weight. And for travel, a must have. Thank you for this truly amazing fall collection, part one. I just want to say how disappointed I am that the fj is not being reordered. I have loads of pieces, so I’m happy, but I think there are many who didn’t get the pieces they wanted.

    Dear Louis,

    Will the walnut look good with black pants and skirts?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes….I think so….a subtle difference, but I think it looks rich….think espresso beans and black.

    Hi Louis,

    Love this silhouette. How compatible is this walnut with the WK walnut skirt? And no black? (Just checking.)

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      The walnut WK skirt is much darker…..it’s almost like wearing a SOFT or WARM black……I like them together……NO black….there is the other Boucle tunic sweater in black with the crochet edge…Jac own it and loves it so much she gave one to her sister who lives in Marble Head Mass.

        Sorry to tag on here Louis but my question on “Ask Louis” section has now disappeared and if you responded I missed it. Is the Walnut brown of the WK skirt a good pair up with the new suede Walnut jacket? And is the Pewter of the WK skirt a good pair up with the new Ottoman jacket in Pewter?

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Dear Nancy….the pewter WK does not work with the gray of the ottoman…the WK is warn and the Ottoman is cool…The walnut WK is much darker than the suede, but they can certainly be worn together.

            Thank you for this help Louis! Looking forward to Monday 🙂

    MINE!!! and the necklace for 2014!!!!

    I have all the colors in that skirt; shortened them to above the knee for summer wearing them instead of shorts…much cooler than shorts. Just received two more that I’m hemming to mid-knee to wear for cooler weather. I’m only 5′-4″.

    Are the Feather Jersey pieces being reordered? If not, I’ll need to stock up; love the fabric and the easy care properties.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear designista….so far no….and I’m not sure they will be reordered, so I would advise to get what you want.
