Oversized black blazer with a burgundy satin wrap skirt

An oversized black wool blazer with waist cut-outs over a burgundy satin wrap skirt and black leather ankle boots, on a bar stool after hours.

An oversized black wool blazer with built-up shoulders, a single button and two cut-outs sliced into the waist seams, so the tattoos show through where a jacket is usually solid. Underneath, a burgundy satin wrap skirt that ties at the hip and falls to mid-calf, the overlap opening at the side when she sits. Black leather ankle boots with a block heel and a pointed toe.

The blazer closes on one button and nothing else is needed. It is a bar outfit for autumn and winter: the wool does the warmth, the satin does the light, and the boots mean she walked here. Keep the bag small or leave it; the stool has no hook.

Oversized means the jacket is doing the sitting. I am just holding the stool.
