Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Blanc/Noir black leather jacket, WDNY black/grey/white silk leopard print blouse, Uniqlo red wool v-neck sweater, Cello black ultra skinny jeans, Fendi black leather/patent leather handbag and Christian Louboutin black sueded pumps. Gold chandelier shoulder duster earrings, Patrizia Pepe black rimless aviators, hematite and garnet necklace and camel mini leopard print ½ gloves top off today’s “Jeans are OK” for the office look.


My daughter, Mo, has been complaining that I need to change locations for my pictures. It’s a bit tough since my “hood” has a lot of foot traffic and it’s challenging capturing a shot without someone in it.  This is why my front porch has been the automatic default. Not to mention that it’s dark by 6:30pm which is when I’m usually just leaving the office. Today, I was fortunate enough to get home in the daylight……


Tip: Red really works well with animal prints, and also tied in nicely with the bottom of the shoes.

Note: The bottom of the shirt "peaking" under the sweater is intentional

 Note II: after all the years owning this jacket, it just dawned on me the back is  "peplum"

  1. This is a great look! This is the type of look I'd love to achieve on an average day. It would give me an above average edge! What's peplum?

  2. Thanx Tarana - I really like the look too :) Peplum is the 'bustle' as seen in the back of the leather jacket. Can be either pleated, swing/bias, or gathered and usually originates at the waist but sometimes starts mid hip.
