overall chic..yes its possible

overalls and chic aren't really two words that belong in the same sentence. when I first got this denim overall cutoffs set from Urban Outfitters I wasn't sure how I'd wear them. then it just came to me. I decided to try to dress them up. Which I thought would be quite an impossible task but with the right footwear and a blazer...I think I made it work.

i love shoes...thats my effin problem

some women love clothes or accessories. some women love jewelry or bags.
me... I love shoes...that's my effin problem.
now I like a good deal...hence the title of my blog Fashion Steele NYC...also its my last name so its a double cooltandra. but shoes...well I don't care how much a shoe costs. if I really really want them i will find a way to buy them. whether that be taking another job, working extra hours or stalking them on various websites until they go on sale. I have stalked ebay, I have done sample sales, I've gone from one store to another looking for my size. Heck I've even interviewed one of L.A.M.B.s shoe designers! A good shoe can make an outfit even if you are wearing a garbage bag...a fabulous pump and damnit you look great. any who NYFW got me jonesing for shoes and these are a few that will be in HEAVY rotation this Spring.

ox blood leather skirt

it seems that everything i've wanted wardrobe wise has magically appeared! i had been craving a white leather pencil skirt and this one popped up at Brooklyn Flea. then i wanted an ox blood leather pencil skirt and i found this baby at Nordstroms Rack. it wasn't on sale and I suspect it never will be but knew it would be a wardrobe staple and the fact that it was less that is was less than $100 didn't hurt either.
There....i've officially gotten everything I wanted off my Fall wish list!

Denim Top: H&M Mens Dept | Skirt: Blanc Noir via Nordstroms Rack | Shoes: Alexander Wang
Baggette: Thrifted | Ring: Urban Outfitters

ohhhh ox blood. from what im hearing is that its the new black. that may be so but i think
 black is the new black. what i like about this dark, rich, mysterious color is that it can almost be a neutral. i paired it with denim but it could easily work with white, black or even another red toned top. have you ever reached a point where you don't want anything clothing wise? this usually happens to me after i go on a spending spree. i look in my closet and say..there...im done. and i literally dont shop for months. i am in that stage right now. there is nothing that i really really want. i think the next thing i buy will be a Macbook Pro and im getting that for myself for Christmas. i guess its a good thing im feeling this way...i can finally start saving!
