Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Michael Kors rayon ribbed burgundy cardigan, Mossimo burgundy cotton t-shirt, Blue Plate grey sheer silk floral skirt with burgundy lining, Stuart Weitzman burgundy suede peep toe pumps, and Maxx NY burgundy leather bag. A grey floral silk ‘burn-out’ scarf, copper hammered earrings and multi grey, clear, and copper bangles complete this eclectic but relatively conservative look.

Today was all about texture: ribbed (cardigan), smooth (t-shirt), wrinkled (skirt), matt/shiny (shoes), pebbled (bag), hammered (earrings), sheer/solid (scarf). As I laid in bed, I put the whole thing together in my head, knowing how different the ‘greys’ were in the skirt and scarf, but also knowing the ‘burgundies’ would be dominant enough to tie the whole outfit together.

Tip: As we transition from Summer to Autumn/Fall, layering a cardigan/sweater over a Summer skirt totally works. This Fall particularly, as it's all about printed, floral and geometric bottoms.

Tip II: I highly recommend against wearing suede shoes in the rain, (which I did this morning - bad mama!), but if you absolutely must (it was mandatory for me to bring this look 'home'), be mindful and avoid puddles! If the suede gets too wet, the color tends to 'bleed' and stain you feet/socks.
