…………………….There’s a new FLOWER in the show, and it has the look of CHINESE PORCELAIN………….A347437 is the style number. The fabric you all know. It’s my poly jersey, the same as so many tops I have done in the past including the very popular OMBRE TUNIC, A263353…………..I do realize there are some who do not care for polyester of any kind, but the greater majority of you love it or it wouldn’t be as successful as it is. It is a beautiful, silky, cool to the touch quality, that preforms beautifully. It NEVER fads, wrinkles or stretches out of shape. It washes and drys quickly……perfect for travel. It will look new for as long as you wish to own it…….It does remind me of the silk jersey made popular by PUCCI………. This top has a jewel neckline and is approx. 26 inches long for the xxs. The sleeves are 3/4 length. As you can see in the photos above both sleeves and the  left side of the garment have vertical DRAW STRING HEMS. You can adjust then as you wish. You may want them all drawn up or the sleeves down and just the bottom drawn up………or the opposite. I like the bottom drawn because it gives you a CURVED HEM, and instead of the bottom band going straight across the hip it curves up breaking the horizontal line. The Floral body of the top is basically black and white with touches of light grey. The border has two shades of green. The GRASS GREEN is the larger border and on top of that border is a small stripe of a paler green….just for a little more interest. It could have been all one color which would have been easier, but I’m never satisfied with “easier”……………………..You can’t help but notice the third of the COIN NECKLACES…………..I call it the “TREVI NECKLACE” due to the THREE COINS hanging at the center from glass beads. At the upper right is the photo of the “TREVI EARRING”, which is a separate purchase. The color shown is the VERDE….the colors of JADE….. I always like to offer my idea of a layering piece even in jewelry. In this case it is J390565, the faceted glass bead graduated station necklace in the Grass Green, Milk Glass and Black Jet. This necklace was designed to go with this top and with the ruffle front blouse, A347448. The greens match perfectly!………………………..enjoy……………………..much Love……………….Louis

………………………HOT PINK…….combined with Black/White/Pale Grey make up the print above………The photos illustrate how the draw strings on the top work Drawn or not it’s up to you……….A black, white or grey bottom are your best options. Above the Ponte Pencil Skirt, A347449, and the ivory Ponte pant, A347452, are the two bottoms I chose, but that’s just the beginning…….White jeans and Capri pants, Black and white Ponte crops and Capri pants will all make great choices…..I have also chose the J390525, Hot Pink faceted glass bead necklace, J390525……not an easy color to find in jewelry……………………………….enjoy……………………..much Love…………………….Louis

………………………SAPPHIRE BLUE is the final color being offered in this top. It will work with your Sapphire slim pant, and your Sapphire Whisper Knit cardigan…….I love the Cluster Crystal and Pearl necklace, J390523….All you need is a pearl stud to go with it or my classic gold hoop……..Add the Ivory Ponte Blazer………….It’s all American separates………….American Sportswear!………..

enjoy……………………………much Love……………………….Louis

………………………….WINE is one of the three colors being offered in these pieces. It is a beautiful color next to the Antique Gold. Above, I have the STRAW CREPE GAUZE TUNIC paired with the MERLOT CREPE GAUZE CROP PANT, A341736……..See how easy it is to combine any two colors with the right accessories. Besides being perfect to wear right now…..I think this would be the perfect transition outfit going into late August, Sept, October and beyond. Certainly for my Ladies who live in the south, this would be a year long outfit……..For my ladies up North…..I would accessories this outfit with wine or burgundy boots and a nice long cardigan……This Wine jewelry will blend with all of your wine, Merlot, and port pieces. Remember, the resin is translucent so it will pick up the different wines you wear with it. Not only is it a great color to wear tonally with similar colors, but it’s a fabulous accent color to wear with many colors like CARAMEL……………….I know you will have fun searching in your bulging closets to find  things to wear with the Wine necklace and pendant……..it shouldn’t take long………………………..enjoy……………………………much Love………………………….Louis

………………………….FERN, DILL, DARK OLIVE, they all more or less blend together to create a lovely combination of textures. You can really see the PINEAPPLE pendant in the photo above. The earring is one of the smaller swirl pieces…………I love mixing. I just find it more interesting and more creative. Whenever I see a woman who has mixed her jewelry or apparel WELL, it always shows me a creative thinker. Someone who thinks outside of the box, and someone who doesn’t follow the norm…….Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Simplicity may be your thing, or your size doesn’t allow you to layer too much. However, the two pieces above are light enough that I think almost anyone can carry it off…………….enjoy…………………………..much Love…………………………..Louis
