………………………..If you are a “Game of Thrones” as I am then I’m reminding you that “HOUSE OF THE DRAGON” starts tonight on HBO MAX…..I take place 200 years before Game of Thrones.

…………………….With each new Fall delivery I tried to add a new suede or leather style. The quality of my suede was soft and luxurious, and if taken care of properly can last for years. This particular style was shaped to follow the lines of the body. It had a TWO WAY zipper so a women could wear the jacket a myriad of ways to flatter her own body shape. It had Rib Knit sleeves and a Rib Knit stand collar. The rib knit treatment became a “SIGNATURE LINEA LOOK…..There were eventually other “brands” that copied the idea, but none got it quite right…..The color above was called…..WALNUT……There were many colors that could be worn to accent the walnut color. I chose the vivid LAPIS WK TN…..There was also a Walnut pantsuit in this delivery and the pant worked well with the suede.

…………………..Due to my American Sportswear background….within each group I always offered coordinating pieces in the same colors or colors that accented well. The TOPAZ SUEDE JACKET coordinated with the TOPAZ KNIT SEPARATES……This new jersey fabric was the perfect weight….not too heavy nor was it too light or flimsy. The tweed pattern was actually PRINTED on top of the solid color. The fabric was dyed in my colors of choice…..in this case TOPAZ, and the black tweed pattern was printed on top…..There were two styles…..a pullover top with a generous COWL NECK, slim sleeves and a slightly shaped body. The other style was a maxi skirt with a wide stitched down panel front and slant trouser pockets. It was A-Line and had a back zip……….The two pieces together made a fabulous dress look, but since the “tweed” print was black the pieces could easily coordinate with many other black or solid Topaz pieces……The GUNMETAL CROSS with the deep TOPAZ CABOCHON cent stone was the perfect necklace.

………………….The SPRUCE GREEN SUEDE, which had A BLUE CAST, blended well with the TEAL knit separates. These pieces were easy to take care of and easy to pack. Timeless wearable clothes.

………………The Fuchsia Tweed Jersey separates worked with ANYTHING BLACK……The Fuchsia Whisper Knits were a perfect coordinate.
