Navy and silver crinkle kimono jacket with a mini skirt

A kimono-cut jacket in a crinkled metallic fabric that is navy at the collar and shoulders and silver below, the two shades crushed together so the surface looks like foil that has been folded and opened a hundred times. The sleeves are the event: balloon-shaped, gathered twice between elbow and wrist, wide enough to hold weather. It wraps over a plain black ribbed tank and ties with a flat navy band at the waist. The skirt matches, cut in vertical navy and silver panels to a short uneven hem that drops to a point at one side.

It is a market look in a town where the market is the main event. Summer and late spring, hard noon light, a flat sandal because the stones are uneven. No bag; the sleeves hold everything. If the sun goes, the jacket is already the layer.

Fruit sellers do not look up. Today they looked up. I bought nothing.
