“Wind doesn’t have any shape. It comes from nothing – it’s similar to fashion,”
So how do you decide what to wear when you know you are going to be on a windy rooftop having the delicious pleasure of running across antique rugs in your bare feet? Well the first thing you do is find the time in your crazy schedule to get a pedicure and pick a polish color that will compliment the color palette. I choose a deep crimson, which I probably would have chosen no matter what the palette because I love it on my toes. I wore a crimson lipstick too as a departure from the brighter red I have been wearing lately.
As for clothing choices I was hoping for a blue sky and so I dug out a dress from a Japanese designer with ruffles that remind me of the color of the sky, wings and movement. By the way, this dress can become a shirt because the skirt buttons on and is detachable. In order to keep my silhouette balanced I added a long pleated skirt. You may notice that my black vintage earrings also reference birds. The signature piece is a vintage Miyake Wind Coat from the 1980’s, perfectly suited to the context.

What imaginative, original pictures! The whole idea of the sky, the wings, the wind, being up high on a rooftop – freedom in an urban setting – love it! As for what I wear to get breathless, well I am usually breathless after I have struggled into my jeans most mornings, but don’t think that is quite what you had in mind!
Women like you are the entire reason I write this blog, smart as whips, ironic, funny and authentic! I got a hearty laugh with this one.
That is a very encouraging thing to hear – thank you!

Your Calvin is a keeper ! Fab-u-lous shots and you look as carefree as that breeze a-blowin’ through your locks! What you rock so well – yet unintentionally – is your unique style and an uncanny comfort in your own skin. admirable . ha ha, I got down to such a low weight with my acute Crohns diagnosis that breathless for me was not to topple over when walking my tiny five pound Tessa! Ha ha, try to stay upright Kat! Sure tjis is not what you meant though . . .
Question for you Lyn – were you always so comfortable in your own skin or did that come with maturity later in your life? Were you like this when you were in your, say, twenties?
