My Olympus was acting unusually capricious last night, so I’ll have to take pictures of that look at another time (probably tomorrow).

Thursday: Just Another Banya Day
I hardly slept last night. My mind was flooded with these incoherent, useless thoughts and the more I tried to clear my mind the faster they poured in…pretty counterproductive right? I’m now sitting at the computer and contemplating all the various ways I could feel more or less functional after such a night. Maybe a cup of tea, with honey…maybe lemon? Umm, I can’t believe I’m writing about tea; this just demonstrates the degree to which sleep deprivation hinders your mental faculties
. I better just get straight to the point.
Texture Forward
So far I’ve touched on issues of colour and cut but not texture. Texture plays a pretty important role in the aesthetic effect of a garment by contributing to its detail (or lack there of), shape, and general impression. I love this Prada dress for its unique and almost enchanting use of texture, which has been described as “the extraordinary fabrics woven to change from black to bubbly outcrops of rocky brown.” There is something so rebellious about it. So unsexy but sophisticated. ”Simple but strange.”
