We Don't Talk, We Hold Forth

Whether it's the neutrality of the pebble grey or the clean lines on this dress, the general simplicity of it makes it applicable to so many occasions. A barely palpable lustrousness to the fabric is offset with a ribbon of fur at the hem that lends the skirt a pleasant heaviness. That, with a specific gait, gives the skirt a certain sway like that of an oscillating pendulum, a movement that is characteristic of whatever princesses wear. I think it's these kinds of exact observations that make what I wear seem like I'm a complete stranger to casual clothes. Sometimes dressing up is just more fun than dressing down.

Silk Road

Wearing perhaps the only floaty leather skirt in existence with the sheerest thing I own on the only windy day I could ever approve of. I never knew pairing leather pleats with airy ribbons of silk frills could make such an agreeable layering effect. Better yet, the combination can be simply transformed into a variation of the peplum with the addition of a belt at the waist. I think I'm alright with orange when multiple but strictly complementary shades of it are piled on all at once.
