Burgundy and rust satin one-shoulder top with a wrap skirt

A colour-block satin two-piece: one-shoulder crop top with a puff sleeve and keyhole, tan leather belt, wrap midi skirt with a side slit, on a bar stool.

A two-piece in satin, split down the middle into burgundy and rust. The top is one-shouldered: a short puff sleeve on the burgundy side, a keyhole cut just below the collarbone, and a wrapped band at the hem that stops above the waist. The skirt picks up the same split, burgundy wrapping over rust, with a side slit at the front and a wide tan leather belt sitting on the waistband.

It is a dinner set for warm evenings: a bar with brass lamps, a table outside, anywhere the light goes orange. Keep the shoes simple, a pointed mule or a thin-strap sandal, and let the belt be the only hard edge. Spring and summer; in autumn add nothing, just go indoors earlier.

Two colours, one seam. I do not need a third opinion.
