Under the jacket, which had a high collar, she wore a dark, reddish t-shirt that sat long on her legs. 

A pair of skin-tight blue jeans, torn at the knees, added to the edgy energy of the ensemble. 

Ruby added a pair of black, leather boots to the ensemble, and wore a silver watch with thick links on her wrist.
