Brrrrrrrr! It was rainy, cloudy, and really chilly today! 65 degrees is not really represent-ative of summer weather, especially since we’ve been experiencing temperatures upwards of 96 degrees these last two weeks. So, I had to pull out the old raincoat and    brolly. My company participates in “dress down/casual Fridays”, so if I have no clients coming in, I’ll wear jeans. I rarely do though, but with the rain and all today, I decided to wear a pair.

Ms. Aikasha  is wear-ing   a Pop-ulation multi-colored rain coat, Sellar dark blue ultra-skinny jeans, Express five button vest, Enzo Angiolini brown patent leather slings and See by Chloe mustard yellow patent leather cross-body bag. Etro wayfarer gold tone/tortoise shell shades, pearl/gold shoulder duster earrings and necklace, and an assortment of earth tone bangles complete the look.

Tip: I LOVE patent leather shoes! They’re pretty, dressy and soooo functional because, Patent leather is water proof!! It holds its shape after getting wet, never gettting saturated! Since I’m no fan of the rubber goulashes, (which are fine for high school and college kids) I highly recommend patent leather shoes/boots for the rainy season.

Tip II: I recommend skinny jeans with a high percentage of spandex. Since tight jeans have been linked to all sorts of female feminine issues the spandex makes the denim less restricting, more breathable, and far more flattering as it doesn't "flatten" the derriere (think leggings, with more structure).
