“PUTTING IT TOGETHER”

pieces1

…………………………………….Putting it together is the fun part of dressing…..Taking all of the pieces in your wardrobes and creating new and exciting ways to wear it……mixing it all up. I thought it would be fun to take a few pieces you may or may not own and show how it can be mixed to give these pieces a little edge…………………In stead of starting with the under pieces….I decided to start with the ZEBRA COAT…..A267936……I have chosen two completely different looks……Look # 1….the Ponte Blazer with the Faux leather trim, A268123. This is a blazer with a lot of ATTITUDE….This is a blazer that could easily hang in any designer boutique, and have a $700 price tag….as is……..The fabric of this jacket is the exact fabric as the new BOOT CUT PANT, A268216, that is almost totally sold out…..so if you love that fabric……I would say if you are between sizes…size up. The IVORY TURTLE NECK, A259110, IMHO is the best “Fashion” TN I have done. I say that because it is a classic TN with a twist…..I love the idea of a classic blazer with a TWIST worn with the Zebra coat which adds that extra High Fashion LOOK…………What does this say about the woman who wears it……..She knows her stuff!…..Sophisticated and Chic………………………Look #2…………….For a more casual relaxed look, but still just as edgy and chic…..I’ve switched up the blazer for the TWO WAY ZIP MILANO STITCH SWEATER/JACKET in the HEATHER CHARCOAL GREY, A267937. The faux leather trim gives this cardigan that special edge. All of the elements….the Zebra pattern and the faux leather trim cardigan….give this outfit a very fashion forward look…..Add you WK BLACK SCARF, A257914, and you are ready for the chilliest days………………This is only two looks out of many many you can come up with……………………….enjoy…….much Love………………..Louis

“PUTTING IT TOGETHER CON’T”

…………………………….Putting it together………The BLUE ZEBRA COAT, A267936……………….the LAPIS TN, A27448,, and yes the Lapis does work with the Blue Zebra coat. The Lapis is a little more saturated and intense, but the blues do work well…….For an unexpected twist add the MOTO JACKET in BLACK, A267935. If this were an all leather jacket I would be hesitant to layer these pieces….but….with the knit sleeves they work well together……..For another unexpected, but equally interesting combination is the Lapis TN, the Black Moto, and the BLUE ZIP FRONT CARDIGAN/JACKET, A267937 worn over it. The faux leather trims on the Cardi pull it all together…..always look for that EDGE!………………For something a little simpler….the BLACK SILK/CASHMERE TN, A83962, on CLEARANCE [this is one fabulous LUXE TN]…..the BLUE MILANO KNIT CARDI……and the BLUE ZEBRA slipped on over it all…………in a word……………..STRIKING……………….Putting things together…..All it takes is a little creativity and the WILLINGNESS TO TRY!……That may mean stepping out of your comfort zone, but it’s a good thing to……EXPAND……the zone!…………………………………………..enjoy………………………much Love………………………..Louis

“HOW TO TIE A LARIAT”

lariat 1

It has come to my attention that some are still having trouble tying the Lariat………so here is a step by step instruction on the best way to wear it….without it slipping.

Follow the photos from Left to Right:

1- Double the chain and wrap around neck

2-Slide the two orbs through the loop created by the double chain

3- Bring the two orbs up and under the chain, creating another LOOP.

4-Bring the two ors over the chain and down through the new loop

5-Gently pull the two orbs to create the knot

Once this is done the knot will prevent the chain from sliding up or down. You can also wear the Lariat at step two, but it may slide up and down. Let me know if there are any further questions……………..

……………………………………enjoy your Lariats……….they make a terrific present, and no sizes to worry about………….much Love………………………..Louis
