Winter Florals

It's desolate outside. the trees are bare but underneath the surface everything's still alive...just waiting for Spring. I too am waiting for Spring. I don't know how many of these brick cold winter days I can take but until the Spring...I can at least wear some florals.

camouflage jeans

I love these jeans. I cannot tell a lie I wear them like twice a week. They were a pair of jeans I got when I did my True to Size Jeans Challenge. They are 7 jeans and the print is just awesome. if you follow me on instagram (@monroesteele) you may have seen me rocking these with my favorite wedge sneakers. They are the perfect fit and right on trend too.

Necklace: Light Years NC | Shoes: Zara

Lately I've been crushing hard on camouflage looks...better yet...my inner tomboy has been coming out. I loved everything from the FRONTROW Collection which had a tomboy look to it. I've been rocking a lot of hoodies, sweatshirts, denim and wedge sneakers lately. It's a little out of the norm for me but its so darn comfortable. I also like how Rihanna is pulling off the tomboy look lately and am looking forward to seeing the pieces from her collaboration with River Island. I hear its chalk full of tomboy goodies!

NEW IN: Sigerson Morrison Red Snakes

i first spotted these boots earlier this year at Loehmanns. my eye was immediately drawn to them because of the color, the print and the shape of the shoe. not to mention the awesome zippers. back then they were way out of my price range for a shoe of this sort. but just the other day...there they were again yet this time they were 30% off and it was also take an additional 30% off at Loehmanns day. Not to mention my 10% discount. So I got them for damn near 70% off. I cannot express the ways I love Loehmanns and their amazing sales.

Plaid is definitely back

i think i was on to something back during the summer when i thrifted this plaid dropped waist dress from Beacon's Closet. Plaid is definitley hot again. i havent worn plaid since I was a tween rocking plaid skirts like the girls of the movie Clueless. that is still one of my all time favorite movies. i must admit i am loving this trend...both the dropped waist and the plaid. for now this is the only plaid in my wardrobe but I plan on adding lots more soon! doesn't plaid just scream Fall/Winter! thank goodness i took these photos last week before it officially turned WINTER today
(there is currently 4 inches of snow on the ground). O_0

I paired this plaid dress with one of my favorite leather jackets. i picked this BCBG leather chai jacket up from Nordstroms Rack a few years back and it has been a constant jacket in my Fall/Winter rotation. check out my post about great Fall/Winter jackets HERE. with this cold weather kicking in i've been spending lots of time discovering shopping websites like this one which has amazing dresses like this one for less than $40! fashion STEELE's all around. they even have a

Back in the 90's section which i love since everything in the 90's in now back in...just like plaid!

black skinny jeans

something about black skinny jeans just screams "Im A Rockstar!'' to me.

i've have the jeans for some and rarely wear them but today i was feeling like a badass and decided to take them out for a spin. i added my favorite cross print tee from Forever 21 and a top hat from top shop. once again super amped that its cool enough for hats...but me no likey sweaters.

i just went through my winter clothing and donated about 75% of my sweaters because they were so ravaged from the past 2 winters. i will definitely be going top shopping soon or i will freeze to death in winter. lol.

all black with a pop of red in the booties! these are seriously my favorite boots and im so glad i stepped outside my comfort zone of hardly ever wearing red and buying these boots. i always get questions about this denim jacket. i got it like 3 years ago at H&M. I've had it so long but i've never ever washed it..lol. i find that the stains and the dirt really make it look broken in and vintage. it also fits me perfectly and i think washing it would destroy all the charm of it.

have you ever had something you didn't wash to preserve its essence?
