She recently did some clever thinking and mixed two Dunnes Stores brands together for a casual chic look.
Monica took to social media to share how her finished look turned out.
She said: “DUNNES STYLE MIXING BRANDS.
“I really love this joggers with the heels, is chic, is casual, and has a relaxed look with style.
“The top makes it even more trendy.
“Have you tried it yet? You wont be disappointed.”
Monica wore the Dunnes Stores‘ Side Stripe Wide Leg Joggers with the Gathered Hem Textured Top from Carolyn Donnelly’s The Edit.
The joggers cost €25 and come in sizes XS up to XXL.
They are black in colour with a drawstring waist and a wide stripe down the side.
Fashion bosses called the item “trendy”.
An official description of the item reads: “Designed in an on-trend wide leg fit, these joggers showcase side stripes that add a sporty touch.
“They feature a drawstring, elasticated waist that you can adjust to your comfort, and two handy front pockets.”
Monica did some clever thinking and paired the Dunnes Stores joggers with the Carolyn Donnelly shirt.
The cream top comes in a textured material and features two ties at the bottom for added detail.
It has a round neck and three quarter length sleeves for a relaxed boho look.
And there’s a major bonus – the top used to cost €40 but has been reduced now to just €10.
According to the retailer: “Textured top with a high-low gathered hem.
“Brought to you by Irish designer Carolyn Donnelly, exclusively for Dunnes Stores.”
The flowing top can be kept casual like Monica chose to or dressed up by adding jeans and heels.
To top off the outfit, Monica added a pair of pointed cream heel boots.
Fashion fans loved the look and took to the comments to admire her style.
One said: “Ooh, such a great way to elevate the style. Love the pants.”

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
