Navy metallic deconstructed jacket with a cut-out mini skirt

A shimmering navy coated set: a deconstructed jacket with layered panels and gathered sleeves over a mini skirt with cut-outs, at blue hour.

A jacket and skirt in a navy fabric with a metallic coating, the kind that looks like wet denim until the light hits it. The jacket is built from overlapping rectangular panels, with a wide collar that folds back in two layers, a short double-layered front that stops above the waist and a longer back. The sleeves are cut full and gathered in loose folds from elbow to wrist. The skirt is short and straight with a single angled cut-out at each hip and a split at the front.

A thin black sandal keeps it from tipping into armour. No tights, hair down, the watch and the beads as always. Summer into autumn, an empty industrial floor with the windows going blue, the hour between the office and whatever comes after it.

Navy that shines. I said I did not do colour. I do shine.
