Jennifer paired a lacy, collared top with combat boots to mix feminine and masculine. Her contemporary chic look with a girly twist won her the spot of this week’s Friday Fashionista!

Be sure to check out the links to get some ideas on how to apply Jennifer’s favorite styles to your wardrobe!

1) What does this outfit say about you?

“This outfit says I am girl that enjoys being fun, girly, and feminine, but also a little edgy by adding combat boots. I love adding combat boots to a really pretty outfit because it’s fun to strike a balance between femininity and masculinity.”

 2) What accessory do you like the most in your outfit and why?

“My favorite accessories have to be belts- I absolutely love them! I love all types of belts: skinny, thick, leopard print, colorful, floral, etc. I feel that a belt can really put the finishing touch on any outfit and it can create a very nice silhouette.”

3) What color scheme does your wardrobe fall under? Rich colors? Pastels? Neons?

 ”I feel that your wardrobe is the ultimate way to express yourself, which is why I embrace color. My closet is literally an array of colors! I have deep rich colors such as purples, reds, mustards, and  blues. Then on the other end I have neon colors such as lime greens, hot pinks, and bright yellows.”

 4) What is your favorite thing to wear in the fall?

Tights! I have a ton of tights. I will buy at least three or four pairs at a time whenever I go shopping. I own bright purple ones, ones with bright red lips on them, floral print, fishnets, argyle print, and even animal print. I think the simplest dress can be taken to a completely different level by adding the right pair of tights.”

5) When you’re shopping, what do you look for?

“I keep a very open mind when I am shopping. I tend to look for more tailored pieces because I am extremely petite. I typically stick to dresses and shirt/skirt ensembles. I love anything that is one shoulder or off the shoulder or anything with lace and sequins.  I cannot get enough of blazers, cardigans, and pleated skirts. I also have fallen in love with the Peter Pan collared shirts and the high-low shirts and dresses.”

6) What is your solution for a bad hair day?

“It has to be a fishtail braid or a sophisticated top knot. I feel like they’re both low maintenance and quick hairstyles that can make any girl feel beautiful and look put together, even on the worst of hair days.”

 7) Where do you get your style inspirations?

“I get a great deal of my style inspirations from Glamour magazine. They always have great articles on mixing prints and bright colors. They also have articles and pictures of New York and Paris Fashion week,  so that I am able to see what’s going to be hot for next season. Glamour also has really great tips on the hottest manicures for each season, make-up tricks and the hottest shoes for any season under $50-$100. I absolutely love Sarah Jessica Parker‘s style because she is effortlessly chic and I also love Zoe Saldana because she is so statuesque.”
