I’m thinking it’s probably best not to mention how long ago I made certain of my pieces. On one hand it can make the item appear ‘timeless’. On the other hand, the item could just seem old!
I think I was channeling the “Little Girl” in me when I made this dress. I mean, I love, Love, LOVE ruffles and bows and sashes and lace and all the girlie stuff!


 But, I didn't want the dress to look like children's wear. The grey chambray fabric, I thought was perfect - being lightweight and flowy, yet still mature.

Ms. Aikasha is wearing an original Ms. Aikasha grey chambray hooded swing dress, Boutique 9  pale pink cut-out sandals and Michael Kors pale pink bag. Accessories include, multi colored glass/silver necklace, hematite and ruby necklace, silver drop ball earrings, Banana Republic silver cuff.


 Tip: as mentioned in a previous post, watch out for the gust of wind when wearing a 'swing' cut dress/skirt - it can be very very revealing.
Note: I pondered what color shoes/bag to wear with this dress. In the past I've worn red, silver, or black. Even though today's  choice is neutral, and the dress is sorta neutral, I think it works.
