Green satin, after dark, under too many lamps. A blazer dress with peak lapels, the skirt wrapped and slit at the front, sleeves pushed to the forearm. Black pointed ankle boots, because sandals were too obvious. Colour twice in one month. Don't get used to it. Dinner in.

An emerald satin blazer dress with peak lapels, a wrapped skirt and a front slit, worn with black leather boots in a lamp-lit flat.

The dress is a blazer that keeps going: emerald satin with a low V and peak lapels, padded shoulders, long sleeves pushed up to the forearm, and a bodice that wraps and gathers at the waist before the skirt drapes across the front to a slit above the knee. The satin is heavy enough to hold the lapel and light enough to crease where it wraps. Knee length, fitted through the hip.

It is an after-dark dress that does not need an occasion: dinners, drinks, the kind of apartment with three lamps and no overhead light. Black pointed leather ankle boots make it less obvious than a sandal would; no tights, from early autumn through winter. Small hoops only, hair straight and long. The green does the work.

I dressed for the lamps. They dressed for me.
