WIP Wednesday
The plot of my side story gives me an excuse to write elaborate clothing descriptions, so guess what I've been thinking very hard about.
She had debated some time between a deep red dress and a jewel-green one, and in the end she chose green when Nerevar opined that it makes the brilliant color of her hair stand out more. A few wavy strands have been allowed free to frame her face, softening the sharp colors and lines of her makeup and echoing the tattoos cascading down her cheek. Her shoulders are capped by small, fashionable pauldrons, and each edge of the dress is trimmed with a line of iridescent beetle shells; they have been carefully cut and sewn down overlapping, like scales. After most of her outfit in place, she finishes it with a few carefully chosen ornaments. No pearls in her hair – this is a gathering of friends, not a formal party, though he does enjoy picking them out at the end of the night – but she wraps her arms in her favorite rose-gold snake bracelets, and amethysts sparkle on her ears where they peek out behind her hair. In short: she looks as beautiful as she does every day. The more so because she slept well the night before and her smile goes up to her eyes.
