………………….A NEW “KNIT” JACKET in a NEW PATTERN………..and the pattern is…….LACE…..A259105…………The jacket is made in a polyester/ rayon/spandex blend. It has a one way zip front , which zips up into a stand…if you wish. I personally like the collar unzipped and rolled open as shown above, but when an unexpected wind happens along…. the ability to zip it up will be appreciated…. The jacket is longer in the front, approx.  27 1/2 inches to the points…..then it gradually gets shorter to the center back. The CENTER BACK measures approx. 24 inches. This feature will work well for both talls and petites. The front is also cutaway and has, for lack of a better description,  a peplum bottom which follows the line of the body and A’s out slightly. I think you can see it better in the photos than I can describe it. The sleeves are long. The jacket is unlined except for the peplum, so the jacket is very comfortable…….I would recommend you stay with your normal Linea size……….To coordinate with the jacket there is a matching PERSIAN BLUE LACE PATTERNED KNIT TANK, A259104. Wear the tank on its’ own with the jacket or layered over a Black WK TN, or Black short sleeve WK MOCK NECK, even a white shirt would look crisp and clean, and a pair of SUPER PONTE LEGGINGS, A257338 for reg. and A253411 for petite…..Add the new PERSIAN BLUE PEA JACKET, and you have a really fun look. For a more dressed look try the short WK BLACK SKIRT, either A237412 or A253411…. add the new LACE TIGHTS, and you will look very pulled together without really trying!…..You NEED a short skirt to show off all the new tights!…..I really love the fact that many of you who have not worn skirts in a long time will  try them again, because of the LINEA BODY TIGHTS that are now available……A whole new world of dressing has opened up for you….That pleases me very much…..Another alternative is the LONG WK SKIRT in black, A257384, shown above……a pair of boots or black tights and shoe boots… and you are done……For a more casual look a white T or my new COTTON PALE BLUE or WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT, coming in Sept, a pair of jeans and you’re out the door. The feel of this jacket on the body is that of a comfortable zip front hoodie…minus the hood……….This is quite different from anything I have done…pattern wise and shape wise………………so enjoy…………………….much Love……………………………………………..Louis

……………………………..OLIVE is the other color being offered in the JACKET and TANK in the LACE pattern…………….As you have guessed…OLIVE is a KEY color for me this fall. For those of you who have tried garments in my Olive color, some of you hesitantly, you have come to realize the shade of olive I do is not difficult o wear….That is because my olive has more brown in it than yellow……………….Though the jacket and tank shown above, looks very suited….these are pieces to mix with other things you may own. Above I have the LACE TANK shown with the olive WK short skirt and the BLACK LEATHER & KNIT JACKET, A228554….the TARRAGON leather blazer will look just as good. For those of you who have the OLIVE WK TN you are ahead of the game…..I told all of you it was going to be important…..Black will be good too… The new OLIVE or BLACK WK DRESS, A259112, and SHAWL, A259111, added to the jacket is still another alternative…..BLACK JEANS and the TN in BLACK or OLIVE, another more casual way to go……I can go on and on……BTW….there will be another WK SKIRT offered in OCT….it is longer than the PENCIL and A-LINE…..just another option to wear will all of your LINEA jackets……For me the metal of choice would be GUNMETAL or SILVER, but nothing is wrong…..it’s all up to you………………………………

……………….This is the first dress I have done in WHISPER KNIT….A259112……………The color above is………..OLIVE…………The dress is made in the ENR [Every Needle Rib] construction……It is  approx. 42 inches long for the XS….It has a V-NECK LINE, and it has a LONG SLEEVE with a wide RIBBED CUFF, approx. 6 1/2 inches. If you push them up a little you will get a nicely bloused sleeve. ….There is a ribbed mid section that is approx. 3 inches wide. This gives the dress a terrific waist shape without being too tight………………I will say….this is not a dress for everyone. I think you know whether it’s something you can wear or not. For some Spanx will be needed…just to give a smooth line. This is an any occasion dress….day or night….casual or dressy…… worn alone….with the MATCHING SHAWL, A259111 in OLIVE….or with any kind of jacket…from a classic blazer to a motor cycle or jean jacket….it just works. I would suggest a nude sheer tight, a black opaque tight…or the walnut herringbone tights….will give you many options and looks. The BRONZE or OLIVE PEARLS [2 strands above], J264035….or any of the new DOUBLE STRAND BEAD necklaces will look wonderful with the olive dress…………………………..enjoy………………………much Love ……………………Louis

………………………………The LBD…………………………Can you really ever have too many?……………Shown above with the NEW GRAY PEARL AND HEMATITE STONE PIN, J296894…..pinned through and through the dress and the new WK scarf to keep it in place….The scarf is still to come. However, the MUST HAVE BLACK SHAWL, A259111, is here now and avail to order if you already haven’t done so. The GUNMETAL and HEMATITE SHRIMP EARRING will be here for the Holidays. The GRAY PEARL and GUNMETAL earring is here and works beautifully with the pin for a little less dressier option………………For my FASHIONISTAS….you may want to try the new LINEA BODY LEGGING under the dress with a black suede pump or shoe boot……a bare leg or nude tights are the look…. It ‘s a look very much “of the moment”. If you are not that adventurous……..there are many BLACK TIGHT options….from the ANIMAL INSTINCTS for a super chic super WOW look to the PEEK-A-BOO LACE, PINSTRIPE, HERRINGBONE, all avail now…..and the all over LACE and LUREX still to come………..Any of these choices with raise the level of the LBD……………………………………………………………..enjoy…………..much Love……………….Louis

…………………..ABOVE…………………..THE WALNUT WK DRESS, A259112………………Depending on the look you want to achieve I would recommend either, NUDE, OPAQUE WALNUT or the WALNUT HERRINGBONE TIGHTS. Around her neck is the CHOCOLATE DOUBLE STRAND BEADS, J296893. The other necklace was a trial and will not be offered. There will be another option coming. I would have used two of the Chocolate Bead necklaces, but I only had one sample when I took the photo…………….Wearing dresses is probably the simplest and easiest way to dress, and you all know the comfort of WK………………………………………………………….
