Creme of the Crop Top

Remember that time I went to NYC to be apart of the audience for The Wendy Williams Show? Well, a little shopping happened during that trip and I found my absolute favorite crop top at a Zara located on Fifth Ave. I specify the location because there may be several Zara's in the area, and having visited more than one in the city, I would have to say that this one is my favorite.

Major Stack-age (hashtag NEW RULES)

It has to have been at least a year ago when stacking rings became the fad. Unlike many things, I hope that this one is here to stay. I have been wanting midi rings for months and months, but everyone was charging more than I was willing to pay. The way I look at it is, if I don't even wear jewelry aside from earrings, why on earth would I sell a finger to get a ring. Of course solid gold, luxurious diamond rings sound great, but when they're going to sit on my night stand only to collect dust and tarnish, eh I'll pass. After saying all of this, you must understand my excitement when I was shopping in H&M for some last minute pieces to take with me to Paris, and I see a pack of these rings for about 8 bucks.

Dressy Casual (1st Day in Paris)

EXCERPT!...

          I think that for my first day in Paris, I just wanted to be extra. It was one of the first couple days of Paris Fashion Week, and I wanted to be slightly over the top. Does that make sense? Slightly, over the top? Anyways, I decided to pack one of my favorite, dressiest, dresses that was still simple in a way.

Cool Shopping

Tried to keep it cool while going shopping. Excuse the dazed and confused look, it was crazy crowded.

Get the details for this look at TheMoniqueMichelle.com!! 

Peek-a-boo Leg

I'm not sure if it happened anywhere else, but yesterday was the most perfect day of Winter in Washington, DC. The last time I checked it was 74 degrees....IN WINTER, so obviously I took full advantage of every degree, especially the 74th.

I've been waiting to break out this outfit I've been saving for the abnormally warm day I constantly pray for. Details for this crop top, maxi skirt with the peek-a-boo leg, and jean jacket can all be found at TheMoniqueMichelle.com ! Check it out and feel free to tell me what you think.

Leather Leather Leather! (faux of course)

So I have this pair of faux leather pants that I got from H&M that have basically become my life. If I could wear them every day, I totally would. The last time I put them on I had an epiphany. I'm going to wear them every which way I can and compile the different versions into one final post, but until then, I just have to pop in and show them off. 

These photos are just a sneak peak! Check out the full outfit and details over at THEMONIQUEMICHELLE.COM

Wild Hair for the Wild Thing

I had a fun night out planned and I wanted an equally fun outfit. First things first....what to do with this hair?

I decided to wing it and channel my inner Chaka Khan. Hair out of the way, now on to the outfit. I was super excited to FINALLY get to wear an embellished crop sweater I had been saving for more than a few months. It needed to be the right amount of cool outside, but still warm enough to have skin showing. I paired it with basic black cotton leggings and a pair of purple combat boots I got a couple years ago. Outfit complete? Not quite yet.

This cream moto jacket I scored a couple years ago sealed the deal. As much as I love "all black erythang" I need a contrasting color to go with my slight pop of color. It also gave me a chance to wear one of my favorite jackets for probably the third time ever. OUTFIT COMPLETE. Check out the outfit details over TheMoniqueMichelle.com/fashion

I still want my ugly Xmas sweater

For the past few years I have been dying to get my hands on an absolutely hideous Xmas sweater. I know how crazy that sounds but, I want what I want. Sue me... There are other sweaters that simply remind me of the holidays.

Now before we focus on how much I hate taking pictures or how awkward I am...in life...I just want to say how much I LOVE this sweater and others like it. I remember seeing men when I was younger, my brother to be specific, and falling in love with certain pieces. I remember that he had a sweater, that I like to think was a lot like this one, and it always reminds me of him. It's a sign of the changing seasons, of the holidays, of warmth and itchy coziness. No matter how much I enjoy getting girly, on occasion, I will always adore mens fashion. Get ready for plenty of androgynous posts and/or girls in mens fashion with a twist!
