Peek-a-back

A few weeks ago I took a trip the the Housing Works Thrift Shop on the West Side of the City.
I picked up this amazing blouse for just $15 fashion STEELE!
Love these suede nude leggings from Forever 21!

    Got this cool pale pink rosette clutch from H&M and these are Chinese Laundry Sheer Peep Toe Pumps!
 One of my favorite bracelets...once saw one in an episode of Sex and the City on Carrie!
Buckle Bracelet


                                  The first Vogue I've bought...ever. I know I know...I should be shot.


Got this great shirt here at Housing Works NYC.

Outfit
Blouse: Black Vanity
Nude Suede Leggings: Forever 21
Peep toe pumps: Chines Laundry
Clutch and Tear drop earrings: H&M

Check out some of my other vintage and thrifting in NYC

I really love legging and these are my favorite pair at the moment. I wear leggings more than anything else. I'm not really a jeans kinda girl. So whats your fashion staple???
My go-to look is always a pair of leggings.

XOXO
Monroe

    A large, comfy shirt and a fabulous pair of leggings make the perfect winter outfit, as far as I'm concerned. You pulled that look off brilliantly here. That shirt is awesome! xo
