Breaking News!

Here at 'What's Selina Wearing' we're celebrating a journalistic first for 2012. Yes, we have quite a scoop for you. We know what you're thinking. Has Mohammed Morsi been declared victor in the Egyptian elections despite the army's attempted power grab? Has Greece announced it's leaving the Euro?


No. It is far more weighty and significant than all of that.


For today is the day that Selina has elected to debut her toes. Her painted toes. With highs of 21 degrees and a gentle, caressing nighttime low of 15, Selina has decided that today - 19th June - is The Day of the Debutoes. And here is the evidence: 

Sumer is icumen in!

Leave swallow-spotting to the twitchers. If you want an augury of summer, cast your eyes down.


As for the rest of Selina's outfit today - wow, what a treat we have in store for you. 


Overall she swung something of a 1950s hourglass silhouette, but there were surprises and depths to delight the careful admirer.


First, let's enjoy this photo of Selina in her natural habitat:

La voilà

Her skirt is crisp and full. But it is complex. In a playful nod to vintage design, it is somewhat austerely buttoned down at the front. And if you look at the photo you'll see one of the surprises we were talking about earlier. Yes, Selina is wearing a two-tone skirt. Here it is opened out, flirtatious as a peacock's feathers:

Selina's skirt is a twofer

Now let's talk about the shirt. Adjectives that leap to mind include: painterly, free, songful, fresh, blazing. We see paint-strokes:  bold ones. We see flowers whose petals we can almost feel against our cheeks. And what's this? Why, in spite of a traditional button up collar, the sleeves have no buttons at all. Indeed they are tapered at the wrist!

Another surprise!

As if tapered sleeves, two-tone skirts and freshly painted toenails weren't enough, we have another surprise for you today. Wait for it. OK here it is: SELINA WAS WEARING TWO EARRINGS. Yes, you did read it right. Here's a picture of one of them:

The other one's the same

Selina says they're shell-like but we like to think that the spiral reflects the infinite enigma at the heart of Selina. The enigma that - perversely - deepens the more you get to know her. The enigma that thwarts all attempts at conquering. That leaves us flailing. Grasping for solid ground. Something to hold on to, for heaven's sake! We can but spin, lost in a haze of Selina's style. We will never know her.

We asked her: "What do you want people to feel when they see you?"

SELINA SAYS: "I want them to feel fresh. I want them to feel that summer is here."

We do, Selina. Thanks to you, we do.
