………………………….In the WILD FLOWER GEORGETTE print I have also done a FLIRTY SKIRT, A302604. It too will be sized XXS to 3X. It is a LINED pull-on. I actually didn’t think it needed to be lined , but the buyers insisted. It’s lined in the tricot knit so you don’t even feel it and it’s stretch. As you can clearly see in the sketch, there are THREE ROWS of TIERS. They start higher at the center front and descend to the back creating the High/Low effect. There is a flat space between the top ruffle and the second ruffle. The third bottom ruffle starts just under the second ruffle. This is a skirt that moves when you walk. This is a skirt you will want to twirl and dance in. The top of the pull-on skirt is slim. All of the ACTION is at the bottom. The skirt is approx. 27 inches in the front and 33 inches in the back………Wear it with the matching blouse for a wonderful two piece dress look or wear it with the new tank, A302609, in BLACK, CANDY APPLE [both shown above] or the new Robins EGG blue…..they all work. For those of you who own the Mardi Gras or Bright combo in the Faceted Glass bead necklaces….they are perfection with this Wild Flower print in the Black multi combination……The CONFETTI necklace and earring set plus the bracelet will also look great on one of the tanks with the skirt…. For my petite ladies….depending on your height…it may be a great maxi. If it is still too long. the bottom ruffle can be shortened, or made the same length as the second tier ruffle……still maintaining the look of the skirt!………….This is a fun skirt to wear with summer sandals, wedges, and espadrilles. For a dressier look a wonderful strappy heel………This may be the look of the moment, but femininity is never out of style…………………………….

enjoy……………………..much Love……………….Louis

………………………The second color being offered in the Wild Flower print is…….RHUBARB MULTI………….I love this unusual color combination for just that reason……It is different and unique from all other floral prints you will see. The crop pant I am showing with it is in my PEBBLE CREPE coming later in the season, and the color is called……..STREAM………………….a beautiful soft blue that repeats in the print. Besides the Stream Blue in the print there is a  beautiful Saffron Yellow, a pale Raspberry Pink, a Bachelor Button Blue, and Spring Greens that compliment the Rhubarb beautifully……..I love the mix of accessories, and here I have the Pompeii necklace set in Aqua with the Alabaster Faceted bead necklace that many of you own. They both work perfectly with the Wild Flower Print……………For me, the blouse and print represent a light-hearted,  joyfulness that comes with summer………………..enjoy………………………..much Love………………………Louis

………………………..The TRIPLE TIER FLOUNCE SKIRT will also be avail. in the Rhubarb coloration. Wear it simply with the new Robins Egg Blue tank and the new Carnival necklace in Aqua, or for a little more fun, add the new TURQUOISE FLORAL EMB. WING COLLAR SHIRT, A304745, tied at the waist……..It has that off handed, but very pulled together look! The fabric of the shirt is 97% cotton/3%span blend…..It is NOT the same fabric as the tulip sleeve shirt…….For a fun summer dress look…….wear the matching Rhubarb Cool Shoulder Ruffle blouse…….Some can even wear the skirt as a strapless dress!…..I just received my Bloomingdale’s catalogue, and there are ruffle skirts and dresses very similar to mine, but the prices are no where near the same.. I realize many of you in the south will consider this “wear now” dressing, but for us in the north, we are so looking forward to warmer weather…………………enjoy………………..much Love……………………..Louis

…………………..They say today EVERYONE is Irish…..I am happy to wear that green hat! I would like to wish all of you……..especially my SIL, my two nephews and niece a Happy St. Patty’s Day…….May everyone find their pot of gold today….and all good things come your way!………………………much Love…………………….Louis

I know there are many of you who missed out on the Scythe necklace and earring set. It’s newly on “WAIT LIST”, which means there have been many inquires, and they will probably reorder to cover the wait list……..If you want it, I would suggest going on the list so you can be counted…………Louis
