Gossamer Paradise




When the summer started, I was determined to make it my summer. I thought I could find inspiration in solitude and pensive midnights, but instead, I stumbled upon heartache. Lonely days faded into lonelier nights. Before I knew it, summer had passed me by.

Yet somehow, I now look back at the past two months fondly. Even though I recall few singular moments of happiness, I still think of the larger picture as laced with tranquil and harmonious overtones. And that was my summer-- a land of demolition beneath a translucent layer of gossamer paradise.

Until next time, August.

Kimonos might've been all the rave as the outerwear of this summer, but organza jackets have been my personal favorite. Sheer fabrics add an unexpected layer of texture and structure over any outfit. The silhouette of this jacket also gives off a sporty, but simultaneously, feminine, vibe that I really enjoy.

This 2020ave jacket is very similar to the style that I am wearing.
