Well howdy folks?!?:

…..and how beautiful was the weather today? It was absolutely perfect!! 73 degrees at 7:00am sounded just wonderful. I had no idea what I was wearing, (I usually have it all planned - or at least a glimmer of a thought), so I had to  figure it out “on the cusp”, and still make it out of the house before 8:00am to catch my train. I have a few outfits in my closet that I’m not absolutely crazy about, but I keep them because the fabric is amazing, or the construction/workmanship is impeccable. This just so happens to be one of those outfits.

The length isn’t particularly flattering, the pleated bottom accentuates my already relatively wide hips, and the neckline is pretty standard - nothing special. However: it’s made from 100% pure silk; the pleats are perfectly sized;  the bias binding is meticulously applied, and I just love, Love, LOVE the colours. So, for those reasons, I continue to wear this two piece ensemble – and still get compliments!

Ms. Aikasha is wearing i.t.w.(by Claude Brown) two piece silk multi-coloured skirt set, Baker’s brown linen peep toe sling back sandals, Juicy Couture “Ring Bling” mauve leather handbag, large gold-tone mesh earrings, large wooden bangles and small solid brass bangles. Roberto Cavalli alligator strap watch and Michael Kors large brown tortoise shell shades complete the outfit.                                                                            

Note: If you wonder why I smile all the time - it's because I have a lot to smile about. I have an incredible relationship with my Creator - He has truly blessed me. My children are amazing, and yes - they do drive me absolutely crazy sometimes - but I wouldn't trade them for the world! My main camerman is my 16 year old son Anakchen. When he's photographing me, he always tells me to smile. I asked him today why? and does he like my smile?? he very shyly answered "yeah". I thought...........Awwwh!!
