MONICA ROSE

34, stylist

Rose was eight months pregnant and afraid the T-shirt would be too snug. "But it turned out to be comfortable and roomy," she says. She paired it with an untraditional maternity look: leather pants by Item. When she's not pregnant, Rose is even more adventurous. "I would have tucked the top into a full skirt and worn it with ankle booties."

ACCESSORIES
"Céline oversize sunglasses, a vintage horn necklace, Martha Calvo gold bracelets, and mixed-metal stackable rings—I would have felt naked without my accessories."

PANTS
"Cropped leather pants add more edge to the top."

BAG
"This red pony-hair Céline bag breaks up all the black."

SHOES
"The Alexander Wang shoes help keep things clean and simple."
