I'm part of an lj community that sponsors (very) occasional theme days, we choose a theme and a date in advance, and then dress according to the direction the vote takes.

Today is a theme day. Specifically, it's Dress Like a Poem day, and I'm dressed as the first section of Mark Doty's "Couture." The second section is mostly a complaint about, well, couture, of which I have not a stitch. But the first section's an altogether different creature.

And here's what I'm wearing:

billowy white knee-length voile skirt tiered with white silk ribbon dividers
pigment green voile ruffle-necked poet's shirt over a
rich yellow cotton jersey camisole
pink crystal bead bracelet tied with pink-and-purple-striped silk-satin ribbon

And my pink ballerina flats with the sunburst cutout pattern over the toes were recently retired for being surprisingly, hideously uncomfortable, so instead I'm wearing strappy white flat sandals with bright pink toenail polish.

And. Of course I want to know what you're wearing too. Tell me, tell me! Pretty please?
