you can't go wrong with a printed dress

this is one of my favorite dresses...and I don't wear it enough!

I got it a year or so ago from Loehmanns and I wore it to the Pretty Girls Rock Dresses event

at the Tracy Reese boutique. I had such a great time meeting other fashionable ladies there.

anywho...it was time to pull this oldie but a goodie out and take her for a spin.

Dress: KAS Designs via Loehmanns

   Shoes: L.A.M.B. Mya check them out HERE  in 2 tone black and grey

 Bag: Mizstique via Marshalls

how i love love love to the fourth power my new shoes. they are sooooo comfortable too. dont tell anyone but I got them at Nordstroms Rack for 1/2 their original price. Fashion STEELE! i love shoes and can honestly say...i will be wearing these at least once a week. the neutral color goes with everything. since i'm still in my "i love anything printed and tribal phase" this dress let me express myself a little. but i still want some authentic Kente shirts. damnit i wish i knew how to sew.

if you are on the hunt for unique printed dresses check out this one, this one and this one.

finally cold enough

Not that I like anything about winter but its finally cold enough for my faux fur Michael Kors coat that I scored at Marshalls and featured as a Fashion Steele of the Week in October on my

 Youtube Channel.

This coat is so warm and practically goes with just about everything thanks to the neutral color.

Outfit

Coat: Michael Kors via Marshalls

Sweater: Forever 21 a fashion STEELE at $22!

Necklace: Modern Tibet from Union Square Holiday Shops

Leggings: H&M

So who else is rocking the faux fur this Winter? I also got to rock one of my favorite necklaces. I got this necklace around this time last year at the Holiday Market in Union Square. I was just down there a few days ago and got the best Waffle from Waffles and Dinges...complete with

 whip cream and chocolate and strawberries YUM!

Here are some left over photos from the video I posted.

I always have photo overload and want to show all of them. I'm so type A that way. I actually upload every photo I take and then see how well they look together and narrow it down from there.

I still have photos I never posted because I just didn't like how they turned out.

walk all over you

Outfit

Wrap Dress: Vintage gifted from my friend Sheena

Necklace: Thrifted at the Brooklyn Flea Market get yours HERE!

Boots: B Makowsky via Marshalls $59.99 fashion STEELE!

I went into Marshalls just to "Window Shop" and ended up spending $100 on boots get a similar pair here or here. I got these bad boys in 2 colors this color and black. They are so rocker with the silver tip toe and I love love love love love them to the 3rd power. They are super comfortable and I love the look and small heel. These boots can definitely walk all over someone...if need be :-)

The color of this dress is awesome and the boots matched perfectly with the purse I got at the BK Flea Market and my new necklace. I have been wearing this necklace non-stop since I got it and I get soooo many compliments on it too.

What do you all think of wearing super bright colors that can potentially blind someone?
