Ms. Aikasha is wearing a Vintage Havana cream cowl neck rayon long sleeved baby-doll mini dress (that was a mouthful), a cream leather pocket belt (brand unknown) that works perfect with the dress, Jean Michel Cazabat blue denim peep toe booties and Juicy Couture maroon leather ‘ring bling’ handbag. A cowrey shell/leather choker, gold shoulder duster earrings and multiple blue bangles complete today’s look.
























I got really excited when I checked the forecast this morning……ok – so 80% chance of rain doesn’t appeal to most, but being British and raised in the rain (hmm……..maybe explains my being on the “tall” side, lol!), the rain actually doesn’t bother me. However, 72 degrees –  that excites me, especially after being out in 40 degrees this weekend. Ok, enough weather talk……..so I pulled out this dress, decided against the coat/jacket – and felt great

Note: The cowrey shell (ref my choker) was the first, official form of currency. Today, cowrey shells are used in traditional African jewelry and also to adorn ceremonial costumes.

Tip: As much as I like to coordinate, sometimes its nice to just put on something - no theme in mind, and watch it all come together. I hadn't used this bag in a while - and it worked out nicely.
