As soon as the warm weather arrives, colorful outfits emerge everywhere on campus. It was easy to spot this Fashionista in her fire engine red skinny jeans and dainty lace top. The bright denim definitely takes center stage in this outfit, so she chose to keep the rest of the look simple and neutral. She is not afraid to be bold and experiment with color, and her confidence and sense of style truly shine through!

How To: This Fashionista’s look is all about experimenting with new colors and trends. If you tend to stick to basic denim and neutral colors, step outside your comfort zone and opt for a great pair of bright skinny jeans. If you are dressing for daytime, be sure to keep the other elements of your outfit simple. Taking a note from our Fashionista, white or ivory always looks great paired with a vibrant color. As for accessories, don’t over do it because you still want to look polished and put together. Try a flat leather sandal for class, or for nighttime you can easily dress up the look with a wrist full of gold bangles and a wooden wedge.
