…………………………..TRANSITION…………………”passage from one state, stage, or place to another”…………in this case the passage of SEASONS……….Transitional clothes are simply garments you wear when transitioning from one season to another…… the end of SUMMER to FALL…………..Clothes you will want to wear the end of August through the Fall…..When you transition once again from Fall into Winter, and again Winter to Spring. Of course, the change in weather is felt more in some areas of the country then others…..requiring more of a drastic change in clothing…… but it is also a psychological change. When the seasons change, no matter where you live, your selection of clothing will change too. Sometimes, especially for those who live in warmer climates, it’s just a matter of changing colors…………………….The COTTON/SPAN TUNIC with the WOOD BEADING, A255672, makes for the perfect “transition” garment……..Many of you know the fabric well…….It is my 92% cotton/ 8% span blend……..the same fabric I have use for my leggings, tunics, T shirts and most recently the V-neck T shirt dress……I would say the fit of this tunic is most similar to my cotton/span tunic, A251588, that many of you already own. The major difference is this tunic is shorter…..measuring approx. 30 inches for the XS….Like the other tunic…this has inseam pockets and like the other tunic the pocket bags are stitched through and through so there is no flopping around of the bags on the inside of the garment. The sleeves are 3/4 length……………………………….What makes this tunic top stand out and gives it a uniqueness is the HAND SEWN WOOD BEAD DESIGN…………….The inspiration for the design came from AMERICAN INDIAN SQUASH BLOSSOM patterns………The embroidery becomes your beautiful necklace……….all you may need is an earring and some wonderful cuff or bracelets…..preferably wood…,..sorry, I can not offer them to you….but I can offer the J278134 which thew Q calls “beige”?….it’s anything but beige!…………..I see this tunic worn for many occasions…. or no special occasion at all………..You can wear it casually with a pair of jeans or shorts…or to the office, to lunch, to dinner, to church….or whatever party or get together may arise. Above, I have it shown with three different Linea bottoms. From left to right….the WK LATTE PENCIL SKIRT, A253411, the IKAT PRINT SKIRT in the COFFEE BEAN/LATTE combination, A254441, and the LINEN BLEND PANT in the TWIG, A253380…….All of these bottoms accentuate and highlight the colors of the wood beads………………It is certainly an ARTISAN piece…..an eye catching tunic, and sure to garner you many compliments………….This tunic may be on my PM Style appearance on July 28th….I’ll keep you posted. …………………………………. scroll down………..enjoy……………….much Love…………………………………………………………..Louis
Each of these is LOVELY!!! What is the care of the fabric, considering the beads are wood? Thank you!
Dear NMM…..on the label it says to turn the garment inside out and hand wash……….but I would guess many women will turn it inside out and put the tunic in a special laundry bag and wash it in the washing machine on the gentle cycle. I think maybe they say to hand wash to prevent people from washing them incorrectly in the machine. Since all the other garments made in this fabric say “machine wash”, the only difference is the wood beading. I would think washing in cold water on the gentle cycle “in the special bag”, would be OK too. Maybe some of the other ladies would have better insight into this. As I never do laundry I may not be the best to get advise from…LOL
Will the Chocolate tunic work with the Twig print crop pants?
I tried them and no….the motifs are too different and the print is too white compared to the beads.
Thanks, It’s hard to tell sometimes from the computer screen…so appreciate your time.
Again with the difficult choices! These are so lovely, I can’t wait to get mine home. I think it’s going to be a coin toss to decide which color I want.
