I sat on the train this morning, my eyes closed, giving thanks to my Creator, and  I got a tap on my knee; “you look like you should be chillin’ in the islands”. It was the train conductor who’s always so complimentary and unknowingly has contributed to my motivation to write this blog. The long flowing skirt, jeweled gladiators, embellished halter top and sunglasses, I could understand just what she meant.

Probably as infrequently as I’ll “don” a pair of trousers, it’s with that same infrequency that I’ll wear a pair of flats. I’m all about heels, preferably high heels. I just feel so poised and feminine in them. So, when I do wear flats, I make sure that I’m not “schlepping down the street” and I’m extremely conscious of my posture: back arched, chest out, shoulders square!

Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Madison Grey long silk, dark blue floral pleated skirt, (unknown brand) black cotton knit embellished halter, Apepazza blue suede jeweled gladiator flat sandals and Juicy Couture mauve leather “Ring Bling” handbag. The outfit is made complete with a Swiss Legend white porcelain watch, large hollow gold tone hoop earrings, and coordinating Lucite, steel, glass and fabric bangles.

Tip: When wearing sandals, please, Please, PLEASE make sure your feet are presentable. If a salon pedicure isn't in your budget, soak your feet at home in hot soapy water and trim nails to be neat and presentable. After soaking, smother your moist  feet with either cocoa butter, petroleum jelly, or A & D ointment and then put on some old socks. Keep you feet covererd for at least an hour (overnight is perfect). When you remove the socks, your feet will look and feel amazing! 

Note: I got home late (again), sun was down, so I had to take the pic inside (again!). I'm trying to NOT make this a habit :)
