Spring has finally come and brings with it the sun and gusts of wind. The white stitched seams in this dress are puckered making it look like the seams of a parachute. The cut of the dress allows it to float around my body and the lightness of the nylon makes me feel like I have nothing on. This leaves my body feeling both inside/outside the article of clothing it wears. The weightlessness of this garment is so delicious after a very cold winter where I have felt the burden of so many layers and heavy coats. The dress becomes sarouel pants when you button two buttons in the middle of the bottom hem so there are no intended viewings of legs or undergarments on a windy day! The “tuxedo” earrings add to the fun of the outfit making it perfect for a weekend day that portends the freedom of summer.

What a fabulous, multi-tasking garment. And now you have to show us what it looks like with the legs buttoned into place…
It’s so comfortable I could wear it 25 hours a day.
I follow your blog and am impressed. I love the clean minimalist and at the same time very strong expression. You are very precise in your expression and it makes me curious as a viewer. I love clothes that are sculpted and you can wear it. And I read with interest the text that accompanies it. Have a good day.
Comments like yours that clearly articulate what I have hoped to convey through my blog, mean a great deal to me. Thanks so much.

Do you ever smile? Even a strict minimalist can look happy……….
Yes for sure….I have a Topshop black denim jacket with heavily embroidered sleeve tattoo motifs on the arms. I’m so not a tatt person but I love love love this jacket.
Oh I would love to see that. I am fascinated by tattoos but like you don’t want to go there. Your jacket is a great stand-in.
I think this is one of my favourite outfits of yours! Love the way you describe how you feel wearing the dress.

It is really cool and airy, especially after a long hard winter, thanks for stopping by. After finals are graded I owe everybody lots of comments on their blogs.

You are an inspiration to me. Your blog has a soul of its own. None of this look at my pretty life and frills and trinkets and don’t you just want to be like me kind of blog. Pff. Those are a dime a dozen and so yawn. Your blog has essence, it’s original, strong, and exquisite. The minimalist expression exudes a delicious and luxe sense of authenticity, a Henry David Thoreau application to city living, self-love in a pure and good sense, and an ambition to define one’s life on one’s own terms. And…I really love your hair in this post. The more I visit, the more it inspires me to pursue another blog of my own focusing on fashion.
You made my day! I strongly encourage you to pursue the blog idea. It has been an amazing experience and I get to interact with smart, thoughtful women like yourself!

i think you would look even more fabulous if you occasionally smiled. I love the outfits but the no smiling is a little severe

I love the feeling of freedom, and you demonstrate this emotional state beautifully in these photos. The earrings are the perfect touch and add to the magic of your ensemble.
