This Fashionista showcased her sweet, feminine approach to style with the outfit she wore to a special celebratory event. The flouncy dress is the epitome of feminine, offering a cinching on the waist and detailing at the bust line to give an ultra feminine silhouette. Add to it the delicate heart detailing paired with this Fashionista’s sophisticated up-do and you have a modern take on a classic feminine style. The juvenile heart pattern is so in-your-face that it adds a more modern twist on this otherwise polished, womanly outfit making this look a perfect representation of college life itself—caught somewhere between childhood playfulness and adult responsibilities. I sat down with this Fashionista and talked with her about her feminine, classic approach to dressing.
