FASHIONISTA SPOTLIGHT: Jessica Brotman

This Fashionista has a girly-edgy side that’s hard to come by. She mixes a feminine lace dress in a mint color that’s hot for fall with black motorcycle boots for that tough-girl look. Inspired by British actress Emma Watson, this Fashionista pushes the lace and pastel-colored limits by mixing up her wardrobe with rough-and-tough pieces such as boots and jean vests. Just like Emma combines her femininity with her biker-chic pixie cut hairstyle, this Fashionista shows her edge in subdued quantaties like her accessories; maybe she will one day be inspired by Watson to chop off her long locks, but this Fashionista does love her hair. A lot.

How To: To get this Fashionista’s street style, wear a girly dress that stays of trend for fall. If you’re not much of a fan of mint, a dress in a peach or a plum color would be a great feminine substitute. Black leather motorcycle boots give this outfit an edge without trying to hard. You don’t have to go overboard when trying to transform your outfit to have an edgy vibe, and one studded accessory is all you really need. Finish off the look with a brown leather crossbody bag to store all your everyday items, especially your hair essentials!
