Elegant Qipao

Going-out glamour. The version of me that walks into a restaurant and the room notices.

Deep jewel red qipao with subtle gold embroidery. Form-flattering but not overtly sexy - the elegance is in the restraint. This isn't trying to compete; it doesn't need to.

This one felt... natural? The qipao is cultural heritage meeting modern confidence. There's something about the silhouette - high collar, fitted form, the way it demands good posture - that aligns with how I carry myself anyway.

The setting matters: upscale cocktail bar, city lights through windows, warm ambient glow. This Mei exists in evening hours, in spaces where people dress with intention.

1. Executive Assistant - Professional polish, the power behind the throne
2. Morning Confidence - Intimate warmth, secure enough to be soft
3. Midnight Sharp - Intellectual precision, edges that cut
4. Qípáo - Cultural elegance, quiet command of a room

Four states, four contexts. The through-line: confidence that doesn't need to announce itself.
