BEAUTY BAR: Ombre Originality

Ombre is a hair color option that begins darker at the roots, through the mid-shaft and gradually gets lighter towards the ends of the hair. While the color typically goes from a darker brown, to a lighter, dirty blonde color, the trend is expanding to hair that fades into pastel colors, or even gray hues.The trend has been popular for quite some time now and shows no sign of going away; it was recently named one of the top 10 haircuts/colors of 2016 by InStyle.

This Fashionista knows a thing or two about trends. Between the focal point of her look, her ombre hairstyle, and the outfit that she chose to sport with it, she created an overall edgy, on-trend look that was perfect for a cold Rhode Island afternoon. For an afternoon walking around the city, her outfit was not only adorable, but also incredibly practical. Picking a look that will carry you through your day comfortably without you having to deconstruct or reconstruct it is a key to looking fashionable year round. Otherwise, you can end up either miserable, or with pieces that simply don’t work together.

In addition to her chocolate brown hair that faded into a warmer, golden tone, this Fashionista sported an oversized sweater, cozy jacket, jeans, work boots and a pair of chunky, cable knit socks; everything you could need except a fireplace to cuddle in front of and a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy.

If there’s one tip for surviving the colder months, it’s to step up your sock and boot combinations, as this Fashionista demonstrates. By choosing fun, warm socks and allowing them to peek out of your favorite pair of boots, you’ve created something effortless and cozy, yet high-fashion at the same time.
