Yes, it's freezing, and snowing, but I just couldn't resist getting my pictures done tonight - and it was a good night. Why? because it's Friday night!! Here, Ms. Aikasha is wearing her DKNY brown wool double breasted maxi coat, Mad Bomber brown leather trapper hat with white rabbit fur trip and pom-poms, Joan & David black leather pointy toe booties with black shearling trim, and Mazzini cream pebble grain leather handbag.

the snowflake in front of my nose looks like
the pom-poms on my hat, lol!! - I had to post it

Where would I be without Victoria Secret's turtleneck knitted dresses? I absolutely love them. Here, underneath it all (referring to the DKNY coat) Ms. Aikasha is wearing yet another one - Moda International black rayon knitted turtle neck knee length dress accessorized with a multicoloured glass bead and silver necklace, a 14 carat gold rope chain necklace, silver 22mm ball earrings and two black, and one green/purple acrylic bangles

Tip: I made an interesting discovery today to which I have to give my daughter Mo, the credit. I got dressed but when I put on my hoisery, it 'cinched' my waist too much and made me look bulgy - even with my shaper/smoother on. I reluctantly put on thigh-hi's, thinking something disastrous must've happened (like them falling to my ankles in the middle of Penn Station) which would explain why I haven't worn them. Nonetheless, as I put the thigh-hi's on, Mo just happened to walk into my bedroom and suggested I pull them up under the legs of my shaper/smoother (I was putting them on over). It worked like a charm. The thigh-hi's stayed in place the entire day!!

Tip II: I reiterate - layers are a necessity to keep warm when dealing with these frigid temperatures. A shaper/smoother/slimmer works double duty by making you look good in the 'body con' knit dresses, and also by  keeping you warm - undetectably.
