Green funnel-neck bodysuit with a scarf-print satin kimono

The top half is a forest green bodysuit with a funnel neck that turns into a single diagonal strap, leaving one shoulder open and a long keyhole across the collarbone. It tucks into ivory linen trousers with a gathered elastic waist and a leg wide enough to sit in any way at all. The kimono is satin on an ivory ground, printed like a vintage scarf with ropes, buckles and bridles in tan and bottle green, and bound at the cuffs and front edge in the same green.

Worn on a metal chair above a rocky cove at midday, with a glass of water and no plans. The hair goes half up with a claw clip because of the wind, which is the only concession made to the weather. The satin handles the sun better than expected; the linen was always going to. High summer, and early autumn somewhere south.

Hydration counts as a personality now.
