National Education Manager, ghd ANZ
The overall vibe of the look is quite kitschy with the bright colours and layers. I like it and think it suits her shape. There is a real eclectic mix of fabrics and patterns that work together. It’s a look that tells everyone what she could be like as a person. Unfortunately, my eyes are drawn to the heavy black boots that would suit a festival rather than streetwear. I would love to see a pair of bright white trainers to finish off this look and elongate her legs. As for her hair, her grown-out roots aren’t achieving the purposeful ‘undone’ look I think she is going for. She looks like she needs a visit to the salon. I’d suggest ramping up her style but keeping the lived-in look with a professional balayage service, leaving the roots natural and the mid-lengths and ends blonde. A cooler blonde tone wouldn’t go astray and reshaping the hair to a strong shoulder-length bob would elevate her look and show off her stunning facial features. I’d finish off with some shape around her face and give her long curtain bangs for the pièces de résistance.
