Yesterday was the launch of Ms. 40everafter and amidst the excitement of finally getting started I neglected to talk about the clothes. They say that “clothes make a man”, but it seems it does a hell of a lot for the woman!

When done right, the simplest pieces can look absolutely amazing!

Yesterday’s ensemble consisted of a red, sleeveless cotton knit Victoria Secrets turtleneck dress, June red leather short sleeved shrug, Jean Michel Cazbat denim peep-toe booties and red Diesel leather and canvas bag.

Today Ms. Aikasha wore an American Apparel black tube dress, Tracey Reese cream cashmere crochet tunic, Vince Camuto peep-toe/sling-back booties and red Diesel leather and canvas bag.

TIP: Check the “Weather Channel” the night before to make sure you’re appropriately dressed and prepared. Granted, summer is here, but temps can still be a bit unpredictable.
