My daughter Ade suggested I ‘do as I used to’ and wear coloured lipsticks, as opposed to sheer glosses I’ve been rocking these past few years. So yesterday, I took a trip to the MAC store and got a few. The responses so far have been pretty good!

Ms. Aikasha is wearing a dark grey wool blend Luca Milani oversized cardigan, Zenana light grey heather t-shirt tunic, dark grey heather zippered leggings, NaNa gold distressed leather boots, and a

Joseph Charles grey leather handbag. A large grey floppy wool flannel Fubu hat, black Coach leather gloves, a burgundy silk paisley scarf, and a rather obnoxious grey silk and rhinestone necklace accessorized today’s relatively monochromatic outfit.

I wear this hat "tipped" but it cast to large a shadow for my pictures tonight so I had to pull it  back some to show my face - and the new lipstick.

Tip: To tie today's look together (not tough since everything is grey) the burgundy silk scarf picked up on the burgundy lipstick. It wasn't absolutely necessary, but it didn't hurt either :).
