Colour. On me. I know. A forest green leather blazer, shoulders built up, worn open over a rust satin slip dress cut on the bias, hem left uneven on purpose. Black chelsea boots with a lug sole. Two colours at once is my limit for the year. Wear it to dinner. Keep the boots.

A forest green leather blazer with built-up shoulders, worn open over a rust satin slip dress with a handkerchief hem and chunky black chelsea boots.

A blazer in forest green leather, cut long and single-breasted with notch lapels, an exposed zip pocket and shoulders built up into a square line that holds even when the rest of her is moving. Under it, a slip dress in rust satin with thin straps and a V neckline, bias-cut so it moves, with a handkerchief hem that falls to mid-calf at one side and above the knee at the other. On the feet, black leather chelsea boots on a heavy lug sole.

This is how to dress for a day that runs from coffee to dinner without going home: the slip is the evening, the blazer makes it daytime, the boots make it walkable on cobbles. Autumn or spring, blazer open, sleeves pushed up to show the forearms, hair loose and left to the wind. Green and rust are the only two colours needed; the black boots are punctuation.

The street is four hundred years old. It had not seen a lug sole before.
