my love with black and white continues

I love wearing black and white.... see this post, this post, this post and this post. this stripe jacket from Zara has definitely catapulted me into wearing more black and white. This skirt is one of my new favorites from Topshop. I love the length and that's it doesn't lose its tightness. It's also quite comfortable. I've worn it at least 3 times since I got it.

Jacket and Shirt: Zara | Skirt: Topshop | Shoes: Shoemint | Sunnies: Ray Ban via Loehmanns

White Bracelet: BCBGeneration | Gold Clasp Bracelet: Artist & Fleas (Brooklyn) | Lipstain: Stila

 

finally wore my shoemint beauties. these were a substitute for the Alexander Wang Bianca's that I really really wanted...found on ebay...bid on and then lost. im still lamenting the loss of them. yall know how much I loves me some alexander wang... (and if not see this post, this post, this post and this post). Good news though...there is to be an Alexander Wang sample sale in NYC some time in the next 2 weeks and I am saving saving saving because im gonna go ham at that sample sale.

DKNY Boots

I recently just did a full clean out of my shoe closet. I mean I have literally hundreds of pairs of shoes. I decided its time to clean shop and if I didn't really wear them last year...they are now up for sale on Shop Fashion Steele NYC. There are a few pairs that I still can't bring myself to give up like these turquoise wedges and these DKNY Boots I'm wearing. But the quicker I get rid of them...the quicker I can make room for new ones lol.

Top: Zara | Jacket: Dallin Chase via Loehmanns | Skirt: Patrizia Pepe via Loehmanns

Boots: DKNY via DSW | Lip Color: Nars Train Bleu | Earrings: Gifted by Alexis (thanks boo)

 

wow...it wasn't until I looked at these side profile photos that I realized my butt looks great lol. I blame it on living in a 5th floor walkup and eating a lot of grits. so it's finally here! NYFW starts for me on Wednesday! I am sooooo excited! I know some of you aren't crazy about the actual shows so I will be doing most of my show reviews under the NYFW tab and using this prime blogger space for behind the scenes, street style and what I'm wearing. All of the shows at Lincoln Center will be streaming live HERE and HERE starting Wednesday! I remember wearing this skirt last season. I will be rocking these boots this fashion week as they are super comfortable...and wont kill my feet.

 

ENTER MY NYFW GIVEAWAY!!!!!

what i wore to the reunion

so the day after Thanksgiving while I was visiting North Carolina I went to my high school reunion.

yes...i am 28 and im not ashamed damnit. i dont look a day over 24 without makeup lol.

anywho...i wanted to be chic yet a little edgy so i went with this basic black pencil skirt with leather panels from H&M and this new camouflage tee that I picked up at Urban Outfitters.

i think it made the perfect understated statement and yes i saw my high school ex boyfriend. i still remember when he had to take out his retainer before we kissed. ahhhh Youth. its so fleeting.

Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: H&M | Jewelry: Light Years | Booties: L.A.M.B.

GET THE LOOK

im so glad i got to visit my favorite jewelry store while in North Carolina. its called Light Years and its located in South Point Mall in Durham NC. if you follow me on instagram (@monroesteele) you have already seen the load of awesomeness i purchased there. they are the most unique jewelry i've ever found even better than here in New York City. i wish i knew who they wholesale from because i'd go insane! i had such a great time visiting my home town for the holidays! i am on a serious camouflage kick right now. you will see soon enough lol.

Lulu's: a sweater gone mad

you all know how i feel about sweaters. they are hot, most often than not they are itchy and they squeeze all the circulation out of my upper body when I add a jacket. but finally...FINALLY i have found a luxurious sweater that is comfortable, loose and a little insane with the amazing print on it from Lulus.com. unfortunately these babies sold out quick enough to make your head spin but don't fret they still have a pretty amazing collection of unique and comfy sweaters HERE.

Sweater: c/o Lulus.com check out more HERE | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: Sole Society

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. mini

GET THE LOOK

there it is folks...another pencil skirt. i couldn't help myself honestly. i was just browsing H&M and when I saw the faux leather panels on the side..i couldn't contain myself. then i made the mistake of trying it on..seeing how fabulous my bum looked...and the rest is history. thats the mistake. when you try something on and it looks fantastic, how can you not buy it??? lol. ohhh meeee.

 confessions of a shopaholic. see more of my pencil skirts here, here and here.
