BEAUTY BAR: Girl on Fire

As a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista, it is obvious I take fashion and beauty seriously. What fascinates me about the art of personal style is that all humans practice it in some form. Fashion not only involves design and culture, but also psychology! I naturally see outfits as an extension of personality, and so I always carefully consider what my appearance translates to others. While not everyone thinks about style as much as I do, it cannot be denied that personal style is your message to the world. So when I saw the bold and fiery ombre red mane on this Fashionista, I was intrigued because it says so much about her.

Red has been the go-to color for the person who is confident with being in the spotlight. Red is often associated with energy, ambition and passion. Though a vibrant red is a classic and timeless hair color, it still is undeniably offbeat. What I noticed in particular about this Fashionista’s hair is that it is not a solid red color, but a trendy ombre. It is a more subtle approach to keep the roots natural and to only incorporate the spirited red color toward the ends. Red ombre projects an easygoing vibe that still has plenty of edge, which is a nice alternative that offers the best of both worlds.

With tresses like this Fashionista’s, a complex or edgy outfit is never necessary. She avoided patterns and kept her look uncomplicated with a pair of skinny jeans, a sheer blue blouse and just a few layered gold necklaces. This Fashionista certainly did not have to rely on her clothes to express her personal style–she let her hair do all the talking!
