Short hairstyles have become super trendy in the past few years for girls. Now, they are arguably even trendier than long hair, which would have once been unheard of. Shoulder length styles and long bobs are popular choices that are both wildly cute, but a pixie cut is an even bolder statement that fewer women tend to go for. This Fashionista rocks a pixie cut that fits perfectly with her retro style. If you don’t have an attachment to your hair length, achieving a chic look like this Fashionista’s isn’t hard at all.
Although made popular in the ’50s and ’60s, pixie cuts have come full circle and are again popular today, making this Fashionista’s hairstyle work perfectly in today’s day and age. Pixie cuts are especially cool because they’re edgy. When rocking such a short ‘do, it’s impossible to hide behind your hair, which actually works quite well for this Fashionista. She plays on this edge by spicing up her makeup. Her winged eyeliner, bold brows and orangey lipstick, which are bold statements that go with her bold hairstyle, would not have been as noticeable and fun had her hair been longer.
The pinafore style dress layered with a printed blouse beneath it adds to the retro style that her hair suggests. On the contrary to that style, her metallic and futuristic shoe choice adds an interesting contrast to an otherwise vintage look. But that’s the cool part about her appearance. Everything about it—her makeup, hair and outfit—works super well together, even though each separate piece is unique in style.
This Fashionista describes her look as “ultra femme meets old school.” Her shirt is from a thrift store, her bag is vintage Coach and her dress (although a newer piece) is a more old-fashioned style: these are the old-school elements. Her blouse, tights and dress suggest something a little more girly and femme, which goes perfectly with the vintage and old-school pieces in her look.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To get this Fashionista’s look, you’ll need a pair of scissors if you’re risky, or a hairdresser that can make a pixie cut like this possible. To finish off the retro look, you’ll need some fierce winged liner and some unique vintage clothing pieces.
