U Better Work!
Hello Fashionistas! Hope you all have been doing well.
Yay to another collection from SBS x Monroe Steele 😃. Can we just take a moment and admire these two for their consistency (we'll get into the pieces in just a moment). During these times of uncertainty, I applaud Sonjia & Monroe for their creativity and continued motivation. In this new collection for Fall/Winter, the 6- pieces are named after prominent African American women: Naomi Campbell (I know she's British), Beyonce Knowles, Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, Mary J Blige & Tracee Ellis Ross. I'm not surprised by this because Monroe doesn't make it a secret that she always promotes African American businesses (see her YouTube channel) & women of color. The theme the ladies were going for is the "Rich Auntie Vibes" and I think they nailed it. The pieces are sophisticated & the materials used is definitely not cheap.
Now, about the pieces. My absolute favorite is the Naomi Batwing Dress. The versatility of this dress is what makes it my favorite because it can be worn so many different ways. You can have an off-the-shoulder moment; A snatched waist; a demure look in the front with a slightly sexy slit in the back - well done!
Love the long sleeves, the length and the creativity of the ties. The shoes that Monroe chose to pair this dress with was also a perfect match.
Sonjia's signature paperbag pants are back but this time they are tailored, hence the correct term "trousers". Which do you guys prefer, these or the original ones (see here)?
Is it me or is this picture giving Poetic Justice vibes? Let me know what you think of the new collection in the comments below.
Thanks for stopping by!
