White, in a desert. I like a risk I can sit still for. A white keyhole halter bodysuit, tucked into rust linen wide-leg trousers, with a light rust chiffon kimono to the floor. I have not moved in an hour. That is strategy. Wear it in the shade, before dinner.

A white keyhole halter bodysuit tucked into rust linen wide-leg trousers, under a floor-length chiffon kimono in a lighter rust.

A white bodysuit with a halter neck that splits into a keyhole at the centre, cut away at the sides above the waistband. It is tucked into rust linen trousers with an elasticated high waist and a leg wide enough to pass for a skirt when seated. A long chiffon kimono in a lighter shade of the same rust hangs open from the shoulders to the floor.

White on top keeps the face in the light; the rust below takes the colour of the adobe walls and the rock behind them. The kimono adds length without weight. It is a look for a cabana from late spring to early autumn, for the hours when the pool is for looking at.

White near a desert is a wager. I have not moved in an hour, which is how I intend to win it.
