I don’t know about y’all, but I have been living for these verzuz battles brought to us by Timbaland and Swiss beats via webcast. One of my all time favorite episodes so far has been Brandy vs Monica. I swear it brought back my entire childhood; I sung along the entire show. I understand why it was one of the most viewed battles; my girls did that!
If you have been following me on social media for a while, or know me in real life, you may remember the time I recreated a look by Brandy for Halloween. I think it was from the 2014 hip hop awards, the one where Brandy, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and Yo Yo all performed “I Wanna Be Down.” Brandy wore a double plaid ensemble that I fell in love with. I immediately went to my local goodwill, (since it’s the absolute best place to thrift flannels) grabbed 2 that I thought paired nicely, and asked my aunt to sew them together for me (I can’t sew). I already had black cut off shorts and boots, that I previously thrifted, that completed the look perfectly. I rocked this look if I do say so myself.
Recently I was scrolling through social media, and I stumbled upon a picture of Monica. I thought ‘omg I love her outfit, I want that to be my next style steal.’ I began scrummaging through my closet, and ironically enough I used the same plaid piece made for my Brandy look as a part of my Monica look, too. I added a denim dress I had in my closet, and some high wedge boots I thrifted forever ago to complete the look. I can’t tell if Monica has on a top and bottom or a dress, but since it’s hot out, I chose a dress.
This has now become a Brandy vs Monica style steal. Although tough completion, I think Monica won the actual verzuz battle, but I can’t decide between these two outfits. They are both super cute and I’d wear both of them again and again. Which look do you think wins the style steal?
