So, (“so” – wrong way to start a sentence – but then again, this isn’t English Class) today was a bit intense. I went to bed at 1:30am last night, praying…….and woke up this morning praying. Why? Because my daughter had 7:00am surgery scheduled. I had to be there – plain and simple. I was exhausted, and ironically, but not surprisingly, it seemed my work blackberry was chiming all night with emails that “needed immediate attention”. That, however, was not my priority………………

5:45am I jumped up to my alarm (not sure a number should start a sentence either). I would’ve loved to just throw on some cozy yoga pants, flip-flops, and a hoodie, but, I knew when at the hospital and  I wanted questions answered about my daughter, professional attire would do the trick – and it worked! The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating.

For the record, the surgery went extremely well and my daughter is recovering beautifully.

 

Ms. Aikasha is wearing Motivi cream colored, cotton capri suit, Heart, Moon, Star tan lace insert tank, Enzo Anglioni brown patent leather sling back pumps and Dolce & Gabanna fabric with green leather handle/trim “banana” bag. Long copper shoulder dusters, a few wooden and brass bangles and Michael Kors tortoise shell watch complete the outfit

 

Tip:When wearing neutrals: beige, cream, tan, grey, etc., it's always nice to add a "pop" of color to break up the 'monotony' - this Dolce & Gabanna yellow "banana" handbag is a perfect example, but your "pop" could also either be the shoes, jewellry, scarf, etc.

Note: it was dark, overcast, and pouring this morning on my way out, and again tonight on my way home. I'd like to say it's because "I make it rain" :) ...............hence the indoor photos
