I, L.O.V.E Bob Marley! I grew up on his music, and today his group, The Wailers, performed at New Jersey Performing Arts Center aka NJ PAC – and it was absolutely amazing!!

Every Thursday night during the Summer, my friend Kitab, produces a series of outdoor concerts at the NJPAC and, whenever it’s feasible, that’s where I spend my evening. Tonight was the first event I attended this Summer and was also able to spend quality time with my younger brother David, jamming to some serious reggae music (he’s returning to England tomorrow) .
All that being said, by the time I got home, it was too dark outside to take my picture, so I had to use my entrance foyer which doesn't have the best lighting, hence my having just one pic to showcase todays outfit.
I work for the CEO/founder/owner of the company, and, fortunately, he’s given me carte blanche to dress as I please – so there’s no one monitoring or policing me – thank goodness!! Strapless, halter, backless, long, short...... all a part of my work wardrobe.
Ms. Aikasha is wearing a My Michelle teal floral, nylon, strapless, ruched, asymmetrical hemmed dress (wow - that was a mouthful!), beige Gucci wooden mules, and a leather Juicy Coutoure mauve “Ring Bling” handbag. Extra long shoulder duster earrings and a mix of hammered brass, wooden, and large lucite beaded bracelets complete the look.
Tip: Ruching is amazing at camoflaging. If opting for a more body con look, but your tummy isn't as flat as you'd idealize, I highly recommend a ruched dress/top. You'll still accomplish the "svelte"  silhouette you envision, while hiding those bulges that you're still working on.
