May Sneak Peek #7 is a little “CANDY BOX” of a sweater, A224717. It is in my rayon/nylon, WHISPER KNIT, blend. The colors are, a brand new APRICOT and BLACK and it is truly a SWEET yet SOPHISTICATED little sweater. Once again, there are lots of DESIGNER touches packed onto this little jewel. First the silhouette……it is 24 1/2 inches long for the xs and has a short sleeve. It has a slight shape for a “girlie look”. The neckline is square which is created by a row of gathered satin ribbon which is stitched down with a narrow gros grain ribbon in the center………I think the close up photos show it really well. Then….down the front you have a FAUX PLACKET made out of a WIDER gros grain ribbon. There are tiny CANDY DROP buttons that actually unbutton…..however, that is where the faux comes in…..the sweater does NOT open so there are no gap problems. The faux front opening has, over the years, become another signature detail. The black sweater is the perfect layering piece for under all of your dressy and casual jackets…..it is so much more interesting than a basic tank….though basic tanks have their place when you want to add lots of accessories. With this sweater I would keep the accessories minimal. The Apricot is that “SHOT OF COLOR” we all talk about. It can make any jacket look new….even a old jean jacket! I happen to love it under my denim jackets, white, indigo or the black with my boot cut jean or any jean you already own. It instantly elevates your look!…..without much effort!!
ONE MORE SNEAK PEEK TO GO…..and hint hint……… it’s a DRESS…………………………..Enjoy, much Love, Louis
Louis, I just received the apricot this afternoon…OMG! What this neckline does for my small bust line and size large body.:) I may have to get the black one as well…it is just so pretty!!!! I’m excited, LOL. Thank you so much. Now off to post on the Community.
Would you put the shrug over this little gem of a sweater?
Oh the apricot will look amazing especially with black and indigo. Beautiful!!!! I think I have to have.
Thank you for the sneak peak of this beautiful sweater. I am so happy to see “apricot” as an option. It will be such a great summer-to-fall option for me.
Louis,
It looks like another wonderful lineup for Friday! You mentioned a skirt to go with the ‘Candy Box’ sweaters, both of which will air during your 2:00AM show. Since you said the next and last sneak peek is a dress, would you give us an item number and brief description of the skirt? Please? We need to plot our buying strategies!!
The skirt is A224718, and it is a georgette skirt with a georgette lining. It is aprox. 26 1/2 inches long. It is divided up into 4 tiers and the bottom tier is pleated. It is a pull-on skirt with an elastic waist band. It is very airy and has a boho feeling. The colors are black as apricot as the candy box sweater.
Hello Louis
I am trying to decide on the apricot skirt, what colors/tops from your collection do you envision this skirt with. Ofcourse, the matching sweater is obvious. thankyou for the info
Thank you so very much for the information regarding the new georgette skirt!It sounds so lovely. I know it must be very busy getting ready for your Friday shows and the drive to Pennsylvania. Taking the time to answer my question means the world to all of your LLLs(Lovely Linea Ladies)as you continue to make sure we look lovely.

I so wish I could wear a square neck, but it will make me look like a blockhead, so I’ll have to settle for buying everything else you’re bring us. I would love this apricot sweater with my olive jersey pants! Maybe with a big round chunky necklace? Who knows????

Now this is my kink of “Candy Box”…yum, yum, yummy!
Oops, that’s kind, not kink. LOL
There is a tiered short skirt with a pleated border.
is this skirt coming in the future?
This sweater and the skirt will be on the Friday at 2am show.
Dear Louis,
I adore the apricot color, but not the ruffles. Will you be bringing more items in apricot? IMHO, apricot makes everyone look youthful and happy. Gotta love that.
Thank you.
Hello Louis,
I don’t think i have ever owned anything in the apricot color. DOes it work well with olive skin tone? also would this sweater look good under the navy safari jacket? thanks for all you do
Since I like olive and apricot together I would say yes. I think the safari jacket with this sweater is a little busy. I think the jacket should be a little simpler in shape. It would look great with the brushed cotton blazers in the olive and sage with the zipper trims or any of the crepe blazers in ivory, black or navy.
