Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

In this day and age, although I sure do take my wardrobe seriously and consider myself a diehard Linea lady, it is ridiculous to have to check here, check Louis's blog, check QVC over and over, to get something before it sells out, esp. now that QVC cannot even post things correctly or in advance.  I'm done.

Such despair! 

It all works out, so don't panic, please.

It does sometimes feel like a contact sport. Wait till the jewelry show next month. Sigh...

At least I'll spot you on the boardwalk Goldie!

To me it seems like there is much more quantity available and not as many sell outs as before.

I like that Louis gives us a sneak peek and style ideas.  I have learned to pull the trigger faster if I desire to buy something.  Stalking is such a chore.  I have done it a couple of times and it gets old fast.

Some crabby people. I can pull up a lot of beautiful pieces from Louis' line.

If my frustration level was that high I would have to quit too.  SHopping for new clothes should be a enjoyable experience not a endurance contest.  I cannot think of any clothing item that I have ever wanted so badly from any source that I would put myself through that.  It's only a article of clothing not the holy grail.

This may have been the case years ago but no longer is.  Even when there is the occasional sell out, it is back in stock within several weeks from returns, missing checks  etc.  I have not had a problem getting anything that I want, although I don't want much lately.

I think my biggest frustration is to find that a new item I like matches an old item that is sold out or limited. I know Louis tries to give us a heads up (he said several times get the wine pants because there are matching pieces to come and I know I will regret that I didn't). Ladies, I need a crystal ball. The fact that all the designs and colors come out of same mind, there are patterns and colors that are just 'Louis.' These families of colors over the years go together in such surprising ways.

Yes, things get sold out, but it sure beats shopping in stores. I remember running all over town to five different stores in a department store chain to find matching pieces for an outfit.

It's not perfect, but when you go out and someone comments on your outfit it is a great feeling.
