…………………..How much do I love CLASSIC TIMELESS pieces?…………..For me you can not have a well balanced wardrobe without them…….Yesterdays classic have become today’s “fashion must haves” of the season……….This new JEWEL NECK, ENGLISH RIB PULLOVER, A279525, is a great example……..Sweaters comparable to this have appeared on many designer lines including Eileen Fisher, who has become the Queen of minimalist dressing…..To give this sweater an edgier look wear it this fall with the BLACK MOSS CREPE GAUCHO PANT, A273865, and fabulous black boots…The “English Rib” is a very specific stitch that was and is used for many English classic country sweaters. It is not a rib that pulls in or constricts. On the contrary it lays flat, and glides over the body. This FULLY FASHIONED sweater has a beautiful open jewel neckline, a long sleeve, and it is approx. 26 inches long for the XS. There are small side slits for a little detail………The color above is………..WINTER WHITE…….and you will be seeing it again during the winter season………ATTENTION…..this sweater looks great with absolutely nothing under it because it is made in a cotton/acrylic blend which is very soft, and the weight is wonderful to wear on its’ own. It is  also the perfect weight for layering. In the case above the A72448 turtle neck in the new Winter White……….Choose whatever bottom you desire….from jeans for a very casual look to the BLACK GAUZE PANT, A276295, or the IVORY WK PENCIL SKIRT, A273880,  for a dressier look. I have chosen two options for accessories……the GOLD BAR NECKLACE, J325471, which is a wonderful casual minimal piece…[this will be coming back in all colors  PLUS ROSE GOLD]…..or the new GOLD TRAPEZE NECKLACE…….a bold modern statement. Of course these are only two suggestions, but the choices for accessorizing a WINTER WHITE PULLOVER are endless………………….

…………………………………..BURNT ORANGE……..a high octane fashion color. I love taking a classic piece and doing it in an unexpected color. The “burnt” in the orange subdues the color, and makes it a very wearable color…..it really says FALL.. It’s the perfect color to wear on the weekends with a pair of jeans. I happen to love the stark white TN under the orange……..Accessorize or not…..maybe add a hip belt to change it up…………………enjoy…………………………….much Love……………………….Louis

………………………I love a TRUE CAMEL……and other then real Camel Hair fabric……..it is not always an easy color to duplicate. The standard I sent to match WAS a camel hair fabric, and I think the dyers hit the nail on the head! It’s a very saturated color…not too pale…..too gray…too red, yellow or taupe……The perfect deep warm camel………Again, wear the sweater on its’ own with nothing under it or layer with color. There is a good photo at the center left of the fully fashioned armhole….. Above, the cotton “Kate” shirt in the Pale Yellow. There are so many colors that look great with camel from black to winter white and ivory and everything in between. If you like pastel shirts try Pale Blue, Pale Pink Lilac etc etc. For something stronger Red, Orange, Teal, Turquoise etc all look great with camel…….Actually, there is very little that doesn’t look good with camel! On the bottom I have chosen the Grey Boot cut Super Ponte pant, A268216, that is returning……Around her neck the “vintage” Linea camel Posh Knit scarf……….These are sweaters and colors to collect….sweaters to keep at hand….sweaters that need little thought of how to wear….your bottom of choice…a trouser, a jean, a maxi skirt, a short pencil or a dress trouser….add your accessory…..maybe a fabulous paisley scarf….. and off you go………………………………………..

…………………NAVY and an English Rib classic sweater go together like scones and clotted cream! These are sweaters perfect for anyone at any age, and nothing can be more perfect in this sweater than the Linea NAVY. Wear it this summer with white jeans or this winter with jeans and boots………..The RED KATE SHIRT, A214116, is the perfect companion to Navy……..The Linea Signature necklaces look so good against the navy [just found out they sold out, but I’d check because there may be one to show up!]…..however the SIGNATURE matching earring in SILVER and GOLD are still avail, J320884………………………………………..enjoy………………………..much Love……………………………Louis

……………………A262037, the Linea Leisure tunic in the cotton/span blend has been reordered in THREE NEW COLORS…..the first of which is……….TAUPE……..All of the details and reviews are listed on the Linea QVC site……so if you are new to this tunic I would suggest you take a look……….When I was planning the fall season Taupe was one of my key colors…especially in the cotton span knit. The first item to appear was the reorder Linea Leisure pull-on pant, A262070, which is also avail in petites. This month there will be two more styles offered in Taupe, this tunic being one of them………The Taupe tunic and the matching pant is very elegant and brings “casual” to a higher level……Add the SILVER TRAPEZE necklace (coming in Sept.), and SILVER HOOP earring and this is an outfit you can wear anywhere….to work, church or dinner. Switch the pant with a Linea Body legging, and switch the Trapeze necklace for the Silver or Gunmetal Bar or Lariat necklaces, and your outfit becomes very casual………….These pieces have become very popular because they work for many women with varied lifestyles……………………………………………………………………………………..
