Red satin one-shoulder top with a black zip mini skirt

A red satin top draped over one shoulder with a single puff sleeve, tucked into a black faux-leather A-line mini with exposed zips.

The top is red satin cut on the diagonal: one shoulder covered by a full puff sleeve that gathers into a cuff at the forearm, the other left off, with the fabric pulled across the chest and tucked tight at the waist. The skirt is a black faux-leather A-line mini, slightly flared, with two angled exposed zips on the front and a straight waistband.

Worn with the top tucked all the way round and the skirt sitting high, so the proportion is short on the bottom and full on top. It is a bar look: a saloon with brass lamps, a whisky bar, a late dinner that turns into drinks. Spring and autumn as is, winter with opaque black tights and a knee boot.

One shoulder out, both zips closed. I pick my exits carefully.
