Velvet, in a colour, with cut-outs. I contain multitudes. Emerald crushed velvet, a cropped top with puffed sleeves and openings at the collarbone, and a pencil skirt with a high front slit. The two pieces go together. Separate them and I will hear about it. Pointed black pump, night out.

A two-piece in emerald crushed velvet: a cropped top with puffed sleeves and cut-outs at the collarbone, and a pencil skirt with a high front slit.

Emerald velvet in two parts. The top is cropped just above the waistband, with a round neck, two slim cut-outs at the collarbone and sleeves that puff from the shoulder and gather again above the wrist. The skirt is a high-waisted pencil with a draped panel folded over one hip and a high front slit. Same pile, same green, so it reads as a dress until she moves.

This is what she wears to an office she does not work in. Autumn and winter, afternoons with hard light through glass, dinners straight after. Hair down, lilac nails, the usual black beads and the watch; a pointed black shoe underneath. Velvet is difficult in daylight. This one has decided not to care.
