“THE CHILI PEPPER KIMONO CARDIGAN”

May show 201414

……………………………CHILI PEPPER…………HOT & SASSY…………Why has this color become so popular?? I believe…..because it works for so many women…..warms and surprisingly COOLS alike. I think it is the depth and richness of the color that works with so many skin types……It also isn’t a glaring red. It is toned down, so even the most conservative feel comfortable wearing this color……..However, conservative it is not!. Paired with the Chili Pepper ENR Tank, A253408, and the Chili Pepper Linen blend trouser…..makes it appropriate for all and any occasion…..Change the linen pant with the CHILI PEPPER BOHO SKIRT, A70208……..HOT & SASSY!………This is also a wonderful accent color to wear all year long……with navy, black, walnut and charcoal grey……..Winter, Fall, Spring and Summer……………you can’t go wrong………………………..scroll down………………………………..

“THE SILVER GRAY FLECKED TANK”

May show 20141

The second NEW COLOR I am offering to you in the FLECKED TANK, A224278, is……………………..SILVER GRAY…………………..I have already presented this to you on the last show, worn by Jac under the the PEWTER SUIT. We have discussed many times the difficulty, for some, of wearing different shades of gray…………………This is a color I think the majority of you can wear. The slight sheen of the yarn, like silk, and the delicate flecks of black give it life that many other fabrics don’t possess………….I, like many of you, love the COOLING EFFECT of SILVER GRAY and WHITE………….Above, I have the CLASSIC WK CARDIGAN, A233940, now avail. in WHITE, with the WHITE COTTON SATEEN PANT, A254640, coming in May………….That is  one fabulous way to look this summer…..and the WHITES ALL WORK TOGETHER……not an easy feat!………….For a touch more serious, and maybe more office appropriate, I have also paired the cardigan and the SILVER GRAY TANK with the new PEWTER CREPE PANT, A253576…………….or for my FEATHER JERSEY LOVERS…..the SMOKE MAXI SKIRT, A233970, in the regular length, and A233971 in the petite length………..all you need is a pair of SILVER SANDALS to keep it all COOL!……………………Of course the jewelry is all LINEA…………The CLEAR 72 inch glass beads, J284043, which are at the moment sold out…..The station classic necklace with the emerald cut clear stones, and silver metal and silver pearls scattered through out, J287999…………FYI, the pink combination of this necklace has been reordered and I believe one of the LINEA LADIES received an e-mail saying the wait list people would get them in June. I have to be honest….we all have our favorites, and as beautiful as the pink is…..my favorite is the CLEAR with silver, and I’m a little surprise it’s still avail, but there aren’t many left….so I’m happy about that………..To complete the………TRIFECTA………of necklaces…… is a new CLEAR GLASS FACETED BEAD necklace. It has two sizes of ROUND FACETED GLASS BEADS, suspended from a beautiful, delicate silver chain….coming in JULY…….no style number yet……….The three together are simply FANTASTIC!……..To finish the look….the CLEAR GLASS DROP EARRING, J284042……This earring goes with EVERYTHING…..if you need to shorten it…..it is easily accomplished……This is the perfect illustration of LINEA JEWELRY WARDROBE BUILDING…….
