Stairs. I sat. The skirt had other plans. An ivory silk halter draped into a cowl, a black leather maxi skirt wrapped high and split to the floor, black stiletto sandals. The leather was my idea. Dinner, then the lobby, slowly.
A draped ivory cowl halter over a black leather maxi skirt with a long side slit, sat on a marble staircase after dark.
An ivory halter top in a fluid silk jersey, draped into a cowl at the front and tied behind the neck, with an open back. Under it, a black leather maxi skirt that wraps high on the waist and falls to the floor, with a long side slit that opens the moment she sits. Two pieces, two textures: one pours, the other holds its shape.
Worn with black strappy stiletto sandals on a warm-lit marble staircase, the kind that belongs to a hotel lobby at midnight. The cowl does the evening; the leather does the attitude. Best from late spring to early autumn, for dinner, cocktails or a night that begins at the bar and ends somewhere with stairs.
I sat down because the stairs were there. The slit was not consulted.
