BEAUTY BAR: Bold Lips and Chunky Knits

This Fashionista was on her way from class when I ran into her and instantly fell in love with her effortless braided headband and dark lips—classic fall staples. Fall is the season of big comfy sweaters, windswept hair and my favorite—dark lipstick.

Lipstick has the awesome ability to transform a look and it’s my personal favorite way to seem more put together for class or brunch. It’s such an easy way to elevate a full face of makeup or even a more makeup-free look. This shade of dark purple is perfect for when the weather starts to get a little chilly and the summer glow is fading. Summer is all about minimal, natural looking makeup, but fall opens up new possibilities with dark and dramatic colors such as purple, maroon and even burnt orange.

Now more than ever, bobby pins are making a comeback and it’s more stylish to let them show instead of hiding them, and that’s just what this Fashionista did. Her cute braided and knotted updo showcases metallic bobby pins that add extra charm to an already super cute look.

The lived-in texture in her hair perfectly compliments her oversized, chunky knit sweater while the jeggings give the outfit a bit more structure. Wedges like these are perfect to add to any outfit because they’re comfortable enough to rock at class, but are still fun. The suede material is great for every season but fall especially, and the nude color goes with everything you’d ever want to wear. The classic character and colors of this Fashionista’s outfit works with the dark lips and messy yet intricate hair, and I can say I’m definitely taking major inspiration from this combo in the coming weeks.
