In case you haven’t noticed, braids are back. I have been seeing this trend not only all over the University of Arizona campus, but also all over blogs, magazines and celebrities. All college students should be stoked about this trend returning because this is such an easy look to create. Instead of throwing your hair up in a messy bun when you’re late to class, try adding two French braids and you will look instantly stylish.
This Fashionista is definitely going for the more edgy look by pairing her braids with some round purple Ray-Bans and a chic choker. To keep the focus on her braids, she kept the base of her outfit fairly simple with a black crop top and some distressed denim shorts. She is also sporting black combat boots to add even more edge to her outfit. This look would be perfect for a day of casual shopping or going to lunch with friends.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To recreate this look all you need are some hair ties and a brush. If you don’t know how to French braid, YouTube it! There are hundreds of awesome in-depth tutorials that will teach you in just a few minutes. I recommend keeping your eye makeup neutral and going for either a Kylie Jenner mauve or a bold lip. Although the suggested lip colors may seem polar opposite, both would be perfect for this look. This Fashionista went with the Kylie lip and is wearing Bow N Arrow from Kat Von D.
