I looked up organza yesterday to remind me what it was (a stiff, gauzy fabric made from a variety of materials), and it was so beautiful that I ended up clicking on photo after photo and wondering if and how it would fit into my life.

The nicer versions are like art pieces, and the cheaper versions are compelling enough. The wraps are most appealing to me--I don't think they do much in terms of warmth, but have major visual impact.

They look, at first glance, like they only belong at galas. But I think a creative person, an irreverent person, a bold person might be able to pull it off in a more casual way. Perhaps with a leotard and pleated skirt...or a gothy black tank dress and boots...I bet there are a million ways.
