A peek inside my wardrobe…

Crinkled white in the tropical courtyard

I’m lingering in this leafy courtyard, wearing my crinkled white two-piece and carrying a basket that’s far too full. Every little breeze sets the leaves rustling, but even the shaded stone still holds the summer heat. I keep hoping for a breath of air around my halter top and forget to check the time. My lemonade can wait a little longer.

Lena standing with her gaze lowered, wearing a white crinkled halter top and long skirt, straw bag under her arm beside leaves and a window. — I promise I’ll leave in just one more minute.

Lena standing with her back to the camera, wearing a white tie-back top and sheer long skirt, holding a straw bag beside a window. — I’m checking my knots before heading out.

Lena standing partly turned away in backlight, wearing a white crinkled outfit, head turned sideways, with a straw bag in the leafy courtyard. — I know that laugh without even looking.

Lena sitting on the ground facing the camera in a sheer white outfit, skirt spread out, hand on her knee, straw bag beside tropical leaves. — I can feel every bit of heat in this stone.

I’m letting the birds finish their conversation.

I’m slowing down; nobody’s timing my holiday.

Lena seen from behind in the courtyard, wearing a white tie-back top and sheer long skirt, carrying a straw bag in her right hand. — I’m taking the long way for extra sunshine.

Lena standing front-facing in backlight, looking sideways, wearing a sheer white two-piece with a straw bag under her arm beside tropical foliage. — I can almost taste the lemon in my next drink.

Lena framed from chest to legs, holding a fold of her white crinkled skirt and a straw bag in the courtyard beside tropical leaves. — I’m very happily giving the iron a day off.

Lena framed from neck to thighs in a gathered white halter top and matching skirt, wearing a black watch and ivory bangle beside a window. — I’m counting the minutes until my next lemonade.

Lena standing in a horizontal frame, wearing a white crinkled outfit with a straw bag under her arm between large leaves and courtyard windows. — I always find a good excuse to linger.

Lena standing facing the camera, holding a lifted panel of her white skirt, wearing a halter top and carrying a straw bag beside courtyard foliage. — I’m accepting this little breeze as a gift.

Lena standing facing the camera in a sheer white outfit, straw bag under her arm, beside tropical leaves casting shadows across the courtyard windows. — I’m negotiating five extra minutes with my watch.

Lena framed at leg level, barefoot with red toenails beneath a lifted sheer white skirt, straw bag resting on the textured courtyard floor. — I can confirm the ground’s been sunbathing too.

Lena framed from neck to hips in a white crinkled outfit, holding a straw bag under her arm, red fingernails visible beside large leaves. — I’m mostly carrying plans for an afternoon snack.

Lena crouching with her back partly turned, wearing a sheer white tie-back outfit and holding a straw bag beside large courtyard leaves. — I’m hunting for my sunglasses in this basket.
