Color, color, color, we College Fashionistas can’t get enough of color. Colors seem to have an affect on our moods; they brighten up our day and make you stand out. With the end of school coming up and summer being so close, color will definitely keep you looking forward to things to come. Bright colored pants are all the rage for this summer and have been seen all over Pinterest and on the runway such as 3.1 Phillip Lim and Yigal Azrouel. But you know what could be even better than bright colored pants? SHORTS! Shorts are perfect to celebrate the coming of summer, are super comfortable, show off your gams and are incredibly versatile! This Fashionista was a ray of sunshine with her bright yellow shorts. They were fun and adorable and were paired with a great sheer top.

NW: Express has really nice stuff that is edgier and I usually pair it with something simpler to make an outfit stand out, it makes my outfit not boring.
CF: Who do you look at for fashion inspiration?
NW: Jenifer Aniston because she’s the bomb and because her outfits are always simple and cute.
CF: What advice would you give to new CollegeFashionistas?
NW: You can be comfortable and still look cute. There are other options besides sweatpants. Always look presentable and there are actually cute snow boots and rain boots, which you are going to need to have in Iowa.
How To: Find shorts that are a good length and go for any color that you choose. Nordstrom carries a great lime green pair and you can find a bright blue pair at Pacsun. Pair those shorts with a statement colored top. A sheer top with a tie in the front would be adorable with bright colored shorts and definitely dressed you up. Check out ASOS for a great collared front tie shirt. Don’t forget about the nails! Essie has a great new summer line but Cocktail Bling is a perfect hue for this summer! Remember to have fun with color and have it brighten up your day!
