*******************Another new color now avail. in the CLASSIC CARDIGAN, A72448, is the …………CHARCOAL……………Many of you have the WK CHARCOAL TN and it’s a perfect match….come spring and the T Necks get put away….the WING COLLAR SHIRT, A259103, which has been reordered and coming back in August, is a terrific alternative….Paired with the STONE SLIM pant, A259702 for reg, and A259705 for petite, gives the sweater and shirt a very natty look…..The GUNMETAL BEADS and the BOLD GM hoop add just the right touch……………enjoy……………..much Love………..Louis

I have just finished a good book called “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult……have you read it? If not I do recommend it……..I’m a sporadic reader, not like Jac who devours books, but when a story or biography peeks my attention it’s hard for me to put it down…..this is such a book. Is it a great book…no….it’s a good book. What fascinated me about this book was the sub story, based on fact, about ELEPHANTS. I have always loved these majestic animals, and love any movie where elephants, especially baby elephants, are in them…..Jac read it first, she always picks books she knows  will like, and after the book we adopted two elephants at the “Elephant Sanctuary” in Hohenwald, Tennessee…….My SIL and BIL also adopted two elephants……it’s a good cause.

………….Everyone loves those special pieces that make your wardrobes distinctive…….but…….there is nothing more important in your closet than the all important LAYERING pieces…….The “CORE” pieces in your wardrobe….the pieces you don’t think too much about, but the pieces you go to every day to complete your outfits….These are the pieces you buy in more than one color without thinking it’s extravagant…..In the photos above, I am offering to you an ENR WHISPER KNIT,  JEWEL NECK, SHORT SLEEVE sweater. The length is approx. 25 inches. I would say it’s an easy fit that follows the lines of the body without being tight……..I have done many sweaters similar to this, but none were exactly like this one…..none were in the ENR construction…..For me…..this is the perfect short sleeve top. The neckline has a lovely opening…..not too open, but far from a crew neck. I think this is just the perfect neckline…the perfect balance…………….The color above is the BRICK RED, and it will coordinate with all of the Brick Red pieces you may have purchased this past fall/winter season….such as the BRICK RED JACKET, A257280, [SOLD OUT], and BOOT SKIRT, A257285, which is still avail….. Above, I have the matching BRICK RED CARDIGAN, A259706 with the signature buttons. This makes a wonderful “SWEATER SET”. The WHISPER KNIT PANT in the deep HUNTER GREEN, A257385 for reg, and A257386 for petites is a wonderful alternative to black. To accent the sweaters I have chosen the J284037, multi GLASS and GOLD bead necklace in the GREEN. I know there are mixed reviews due to some breaking, but there was no question to its’ beauty or the quality of the beads, and the GREEN is the only color remaining with very few left. If anyone has any problem with this necklace at any time….my manufacturer will definitely fix anything that may happen to it. I bring this up because this happens to be one of my all time favorite necklaces. It’s CLASSY….Paired with the necklace…..the GREEN STONE BUTTON EARRING, J284037. In any good retail store this set would cost hundreds of dollars. There was a very similar necklace on ebay a while ago that I did for AK that was being offered at $350. The glass beads were the same!………….Brick red is a very “friendly” color, and a terrific accent color. It will work with many things in your closets. The most obvious would be a navy jacket and jeans….you can go from there………………enjoy…………………Happy New Year!……………..much Love…………..Louis

……………………….You have the CARDIGAN, A259706…..now you have the new JEWEL NECK SHORT SLEEVE SWEATER, A257382…….to complete the look and give it a very CUSTOM DESIGNER LOOK….add the matching BRICK RED WK SCARF, A257914……….You just can not go wrong wearing these three pieces with any bottom you choose….from jeans or fabulous draw string sweat pants and chic sneakers to classic gaberdine dress or WK pants,,,,,or for a dressier occasion try a black sequin skirt…………………….enjoy………………..much Love………………..Louis

…………………..HUNTER GREEN is the second color being offered in the WK sweater, and again it will match any of the Hunter green pieces you may own or are still thinking about getting….such as the CARDIGAN, A259706, and the WK PANT. Above I also have it with the STONE PANT, A259702 reg. or A759705 petite……Hunter Green is a beautiful accent color to many “base” colors such as grey, camel, navy, stone, khaki, tan, ivory and white………Hunter Green is also a fabulous back drop to show off all of your Linea jewelry that you have been collecting…. such as the BYZANTINE GROUP above…….J296898, the multi cross necklace, J264036, the double sided cross, J264037, the long bead and gold and bead station necklace, and the  J284037, the button stone earring……………….Dress it up….dress it down….what ever the occasion this sweater just WORKS………………………….enjoy………..much Love………………….Louis
