Emerald satin blazer with a pewter pleated maxi skirt

A fitted emerald satin blazer with structured shoulders and cut-outs at the waist, over a knife-pleated maxi skirt in pewter metallic. Rooftop, city behind.

The blazer is emerald satin, fitted through the body with sharp padded shoulders, notched lapels, two covered buttons and flap pockets at the hip. A cut-out on each side of the waist opens between the front and back panels, and the sleeves are pushed up to the forearm. Worn closed, as the top. The skirt is a full maxi in pewter metallic with fine knife pleats from the waistband to the floor; it reads grey in shadow and silver where the sun hits the pleats.

An evening look for the cold months and the odd spring night, for an event, a dinner that matters, a roof with a view. Keep the shoe pointed and black and the hair down. The skirt moves enough on its own; nothing else should.

Green on a woman who dresses in black. Mark the date, it will not happen twice this month.
