Why is it that after preaching  “………if you do something religiously for 3 weeks, it becomes a habit”, I turn around and break the cycle? I didn't post yesterday, and I felt like crap!! But let me tell you the back story………..I had my usual busy day at work: scheduling conference calls; planning a luncheon; apartment hunting for a client’s son; chaperoning my boss’s daughter's holiday shopping etc., etc. I’m also really trying to clear my desk so I can comfortably go on holiday for the next few weeks (more on that next week).
 When I finally left the office at almost 7pm, I text my crew on the home-front that I was on my way, and told them to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics at 7:30pm – it’s a family tradition, plus this year’s Olympics is in my home town –London!! I got off the train and called my ‘photographer’ son to alert him to be ready for me. I got home about 7:45pm, and guess what? He couldn’t find the camera! “What?” “Mummy, you had it last!” I wasn't happy, but also,
I was a bit distracted watching the Olympics ceremony – which, by the way – was pretty damn awesome!! Intermittently I'd ask “….boyz, where’s the camera? I have to take my blog shots”. Before it knew it, it’s 11:30pm and I’m still fully dressed!! So, I’m still not happy and pretty exhausted – I go upstairs, get undressed, throw on a nightie, and go into the boy’s room. Lo and behold – the camera is sitting on the end table, where it’s kept. I was LIVID!! I STORMED downstairs and gave them an earful! Needless to say, I was way too upset to take pictures –they would have looked horrible, so this morning, I got up, cleaned house, showered, and put back on yesterday's outfit – in an attempt to redeem myself J.
Ms. Aikasha is wearing  a Carole Little neon green silk, sequin front halter top, Appraisal black cotton shorts (cuffs added to update), Coach blue/green faux snakeskin pumps, Coach wicker/leather/snakeskin limited edition “Bonnie” handbag. (by now I think you can tell that this Coach shoe/bag combo is my absolute favorite!) Charlotte Russe green/blue/gold-tone earrings,  Manhattan black/silvertone/rhinestone watch, and various width black bangles accessorized this ensemble.

Tip: As I mentioned a few weeks back - I essentially have total freedom with my wardrobe choices for the office. I understand not all work environments are as flexible as mine, so please be mindful of yours.
Tip II: Wearing a soft sheen or very sheer glisten/glitter on bare legs, does wonders camouflaging minor/slight imperfections (or compensating for the fact you or I, haven't been doing our lunges!).
