………………….I love this soft CELADON GREEN…………it has the look of fine Chinese porcelain……….or as soothing as Aloe. The lace is dyed to match and has a Lt. Khaki/Nude color lining. From my experience over the years, making many sheer garments, the color of a common brown paper bag is the best color to use for nude color linings……It may vary some….a little lighter or darker depending on your skin color, but it usually works for the majority of skin types………I chose a lighter shade to keep the whole look soft……………The Alabaster Crepe Gauze pant, J276294, added the perfect mood  to the softness I wanted to accomplish….. If you are after a sleeker look the slim Lt Khaki pant will do the trick. For the accessories I wanted something delicate and fragile, but still had some presence……so I chose my SIGNATURE CHARM NECKLACE with the SAGE frosted and clear round beads, J321802, which is now on clearance….so if this Celadon sweater is your choice, and you want the perfect accessory, I would suggest this necklace. Once they go on clearance it is a sure sign they won’t be around for long…….On the ear the DEW DROP, J320890, which is part of the set with the Dew Drop pendant, also on Clearance, which also looks beautiful with this sweater…..In this case restraint is best…..Something delicate is all you need……………………….

……………………PROVOCATIVE……………..is the word when describing the NAVY LACE BACK SWEATER, A273301, but be sure…the lining is opaque enough to satisfy the most conservative among you………..Wear it for special occasions with my Navy Moss Crepe skirt, A262454, my navy WK pencil skirt, the Alabaster Crepe Gauze pant, my navy washed gaberdine Trouser [which is being reordered], or the Lt Khaki Crop pant above…..For more casual outings my Linea Body legging or Capri legging  with a pair of ballet flats…….or a pair of slim jeans will be perfect……….Navy PEARLS such as my 72 inch necklace and the matching earring and bracelet set the sweater off perfectly……………What ever your needs……..whatever your lifestyle…….wonderful novelty sweaters will always find a place in your wardrobes………………………………enjoy……………much Love………………………..Louis

……………….I will be presenting this new Linea Leisure Hoodie on AM Style, Sat. July 9th……..For my petite customers, I am planning to use Meredith, the petite model so you can see the proportion. Of course that’s if she is avail. to me……..With this new BLACK LINEA LEISURE HOODIE, A279520, I am introducing a new fabric…..It is a 100% fine ribbed cotton…which has it’s own NATURAL STRETCH…..The HOODIE has become as Iconic as a pair of jeans, and as common as leggings….It can be categorized as a utilitarian garment. It is my work as a designer to make it something unique…to distinguish a Linea garment from all others……to take it from the mundane and elevate to something special…..What makes one garment…one hoodie different from another……the DETAILS……………….Besides the new fabric…there are many details to discuss. Starting at the top…there is a band collar which you can see in the third picture in from the upper left. The hood comes out from behind this band instead of simply being attached at the neckline. The front is closed with many small SNAPS….all attached to a cotton HERRINGBONE TAPE as you can see in the large center blow up photo. The tape is both on the outside and inside of the fronts. There is also a smaller tape that follows the inside neckline. The long sleeves are finished at the bottom with a 2 inch cuff, which makes it is to push up and stay up….The shape or silhouette of the hoodie is A-Line with added ease. There are front BODY SEAMS and back PRINCESS SEAMS. The hoodie has a HIGH/LOW HEM so there is maximum coverage. The xxs is approximately 30 inches…….For my petites….don’t let the length disappoint or deter you……..For my shorter petites…if the hoodie comes to just above your knee or even mid knee that’s still a great look with a pair of leggings or tights….in the fall add boots or shoe boots….If it looks like a HOODIE DRESS that will be unique to you. You can see from the photos there is some swing and drape to this top…..so it should be very comfortable for those of you who need that added room. Of course there are BAND POCKETS….so you have some place to put your tissue etc etc. They also give this Hoodie a wonderful attitude…….This new cotton fabric is light enough to wear in the summer when a hoodie may be required, and perfect in the winter layered with jewel necks and a WK TN………….With “leisure” dressing becoming more and more our way of life….I’m sure you will find this new hoodie a welcome addition…………………………………..enjoy………….much Love……………………..Louis

……………………The TAUPE HOODIE had a hint of pink. It’s a cross between a true taupe with a little mocha blended in. A great neutral to mix with black, navy and the WALNUT LINEA BODY LEGGINGS, A260034, above. Just adding the CHOCOLATE BARREL BEAD necklace, J329558, will take you from the gym to lunch with the girls………….enjoy………….much Love……….Louis

………………………..ROSE………….is a lovely shade of dusty pink…….A wonderful transition color…..Fall….Winter….Spring or Summer…..a very flattering complexion color…………………………………..
