Second Skin

The Wind and the Sun were arguing about who was stronger.

They saw a girl coming down the road, draped in Skin and Threads clothing. “I have an idea,” said the Sun. “Whoever gets her to shed some layers is the strongest.”

So the Wind huffed and puffed, making her shiver in her merino cowl. She wrapped her black tie cardi tightly around her.

Then it was the Sun’s turn, so he shone brightly down on the girl, forcing her to her peel away her anticold artillery to reveal a loop-through organic cotton razor tank under a gray funnel dress.

“Next time you should try a little warmth,” said the Sun, victorious.

“Bright idea,” grumbled the Wind.
