Cobalt ruffle blazer dress with western belt
A cobalt blazer dress with tiered ruffles from the waist, cinched with a black western-buckle belt, over black platform boots. Spin cycle, late.
A blazer dress in cobalt crepe: notched lapels, long sleeves, a short body that breaks at the waist into three tiers of wide ruffles that stand out from the hips. A black leather belt with an engraved western buckle sits over the seam where the tailoring stops and the ruffles start. Black leather ankle boots on a thick platform with a block heel.
Autumn and winter nights, the kind that go to three places: the belt makes it a dress for the second one and the boots make it a dress for the third. The ruffles want a plain stretch of fabric above them, so keep the top half simple and the lapels open. Small hoops, the watch on the left, no tights, and nothing in the pockets, because there are no pockets.
Laundry night. The machines are the best lit thing in this town after midnight.
