Sharing about latest Linea purchases

crazycockermom — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 20:31:45 GMT

Today while DH was away, I decided to do what Louis said, and play play play! Tried on some of my newer (and older) Linea pieces and have to say I’m loving the new WK tanks. Loooove the plum and can’t wait for the coordinating pieces. I’m glad the pine is different from forest green. It isn’t as blackened and has a slightly more yellow base.

Love the baby cheetah hoodie in navy/grey. So glad I didn’t go with my larger Linea size.

Curious what others think about the button front striped shirt, A379908. I love the material. But when I put it on buttoned as a blouse, I don’t find it flattering. I like it much better when worn open over a tank. But for the price, I don’t want to keep it if I don’t love it. I wonder if I’m trying too hard to love it. Thoughts?

Would also love others to share their thoughts on their latest purchases.

I have always liked the option of either wearing a blouse buttoned or opened.
If you have doubts send it back.

I so wish that there was a WK tank in that sapphire color so it could be worn under that new blue bayou striped kimono.

@JustJazzmom
Thanks for your input.
A sapphire WK tank would be great. I think I have a blue WK tank but I don’t know if it’s sapphire. I need to find it.

Hi, @crazycockermom . I have the blue striped blouse also. Like you, I love the material and love it open over a tank. I usually prefer a straight hem, but for me, it's cute and very casual in a beachy way. I'll wear it buttoned over a bathing suit or fitted shorts. Don't keep it unless you're happy with it.

I love the WK tanks. These are classics that I stock up on. The plum is my favorite. The green is lighter and brighter than my fav forest green. It will be a nice pop of color under jackets. Still waiting on the skirt

I own the espresso striped blouse and wear it over a tank or open and I do love it but if you don't return it there will be something else that Louis will have that you will love I am sure.

I received my WK tanks in the plum and tobacco color.....love both. I would love to see this in a hot pink to wear under A349653. I may cave and get those plum ponte knit pants

I was going to order the lace skirt but decided to pass it's a little long for my taste so instead I ordered the multi strand torsade sprinkle necklace even though I know good and well I have more than enough jewelry.

@lrmuffin
The striped shirt does have a beachy vibe. I will have to think about it a bit more.
The WKs are definitely classics to stock up on!

@Luvitorleaveit1
Louis continually brings things that I love! He is the main reason I’m a Q shopper. 😊

Get the plum ponte pants while you can! When I saw the plum color on air I wasn’t sure about it. When I got it I was pleasantly surprised. So pretty in person.

I’m still on the fence about the lace skirt but only because I can’t decide between the black or sapphire. I like the longer length as I don’t have to worry about hose or self tanner so much, lol.

Enjoy your new sprinkle torsade necklace! I’m debating getting the Tonga necklace but there aren’t many reviews on it.

I do have the Tonga necklace and I love it. I've worn it with many things, and love it with the stripe shirt

@Marilyn
Thanks for chiming in. I have resisted all of Louis’s beautiful shell necklaces so far. I easily get overwhelmed making decisions. But once I saw the Tonga, I thought that was the one for me. 😊

Playing with my Linea wardrobe today and found that A341740 in the walnut/dark khaki color works well above the new tobacco pants.

Found a WK navy tank from years ago below a navy suit A221797 -- WK scoopneck shell with rib trim works below the new navy/gray hoodie.

I received the WK tanks in tobacco, pine green and plum and also the ponte pants in plum a few days ago. I haven't tried anything on yet. I bought the tobacco WK to go under a black jacket (I love black and brown together), the pine green I just liked the color and I wanted to how different the plum is from the port. I don't know if it is my eyes but to me the plum tank and the plum pants seem to be different shades.

They might be because of how the dye was taken up by the different fabrics.

@DiAnne @JustJazzmom Yes the tank is a bit brighter, a touch less black, but still an almost perfect match to my eyes.

In case anyone else buys LL Bean pima cotton knit tops in addition to WKs, their current offering of Royal Plum is more red violet than the Linea Plum -- harmonizes just fine but not a match.

Was it the Lapis WK tank from 2012-203 time frame? There was a Swing Cardigane to go with and a Sequined Skirt! It was from the Jewel Tone Collection--Ruby, Lapis, Malachite, etc.

Wow. Ordered the BD cardi, tank & ponte pants all in plum on Tuesday. Shipped on Thursday. Out for delivery tomorrow (Saturday).

Nice job QVC. The warehouse must be back to full capacity. Fortunately for me the items did not ship from Ontario, CA- across the country. Will probably be too hot to try them on until next week. Sometimes I think things ship out more quickly toward the end of the month so as to bill right away to my Qcard.

I ordered the BD cardigan in gray in both medium and large. Either would have worked but I like the feel of the large better and will return the medium. I also have the sleeveless TN in gray. Love all of them! The gray is so pretty. It's a warm gray with just the slightest tinge of brown in it. I have salt and pepper hair and brown eyes and it's great with my coloring. These are classics!

So far I have received the WK midi skirt in plum and the plum bootcut pants. I knew I would love them since in already own the skirt in dark forest green and black and the boot cut pants in dark forest green and caramel. The plum and caramel cardigans are on the way. The plum TN has not shipped yet. I was concerned the plum may be close to the older blackberry pieces but I think the plum is brighter. Can't compare because they are packed away for the season.

JJM, there was a Lapis Tank from 2012- when Louis did the Jeweltone Collection--do you have it? Will it work? I have it and the Blue Bayou Kimono, but I haven't dug out the Lapis tank yet---I need a road map to find it!

I found A237404 in among other WK tanks I have. I have to look in sunlight against the kimono but I think it is brighter blue than what Louis is calling 'sapphire' Even the pants (A265615) look off with that lapis tank in incandescent lighting to my eyes.The pants work with the kimono as the blues are similar.
