Monica threw her mother a lavish birthday dinner and kept her look quite conservative for the party. She offset a white blazer, tank top, and glitter peep-toe slingbacks from Christian Louboutin with an $897 Donna Karan Striped Pencil Skirt:
It seems that red and black was the theme for the night because mommy and daughter were matching in complementary looks.
Her pencil skirt features diagonal colorblock stripes.
Check out how it was styled on the Resort 2012 runway.
Hot skirt! The nature of the party means that Monica definitely had to tone it down, but her ensemble reads office, instead of festive.
If you’re up for the splurge, you can get her skirt at www.neimanmarcus.com.

Am I the only one that finds Monica’s style boring? I love that she doesn’t feel the need to put all of her goods on display but she always looks like the preacher’s wife and her clothes never look as expensive as they actually are on her. Hmmm.

LOVE the skirt, but not for $900. Is there a similar look for less? :-)

The fit is uber flattering, but I can’t get with this color combo.

@Cutie No!! Nice pieces but very boring. Every time she’s out she looks like she’s headed to church. I’m not saying go all Emily B on us…but she dresses like she’s pushing 50

who keeps letting monica wear all these blazers?im convinced she doesnt know her body type nor does her stylist.what made it even worse was the white cami underneath…..umm there was a reason it was shown with a black top….lol

Yeah I am not really feeling this outfit. Monica does not understand clothes AT ALL! I guess it’s better than what she usually gives us though so I can’t be too mad.

Monica’s mother is really beautiful. Wow.
Her style is always so severe.

Love the bag. Is it LV?

Her mom is gorgeous!

This is more of an office look and i would not pay that much for the skirt. Not feeling the white cami and off white blazer either. Not a good combo.

So.Much.Makeup!!!!
Her makeup is always so cakey looking, and so is her mothers. Ease up ladies.

Monica dresses like a woman who has sense and children and a husband. I wish more women did.

Cute!!! loves her

Monica & her mom have such pretty faces !
The skirt is really cute, I like the look !
August 3, 2012 2:04 pm
She looks old and boring. I’d love to see her in something that actually flatters her thin frame.
August 3, 2012 3:37 pm
Not feeling Monica’s look, but her mom is pretty!
August 5, 2012 5:34 pm
