ALL IN THE DETAILS: Beanie Bummin'

March 8th, 2016 at 2:00am

As spring is approaching and the workload seems to be getting tougher, it can become difficult to want to get all dolled up everyday.  Some days even just trying to tame your wild bedhead can seem impossible. However, while the weather is just starting to warm up for summer, a beanie can be an awesome option to conquer the cold and your messy hair. The simple addition of a hat or beanie to an outfit can change the whole attitude of the ensemble. Your hair can sometimes be your best accessory, but on days when it is just not working out for you, and there is no time to try and overcome the struggle of fixing it, an underestimated piece like a beanie can add so much. They are not a big investment either, and there are so many options out there in numerous stores as they continue to flood the market. So don’t feel like it will take forever to find the right one or even one that fits your budget range.

This Fashionista kept warm, comfy and cute with her gray knit beanie. She paired the beanie with a cozy knit T-shirt and snug sweater. For a pop of color, she threw on a green pair of sweatpants and to top it off, she added a basic pair of fur-lined boots to stay extra warm. This outfit is great for a quick coffee run, when you need a little pick me up while studying. It is also perfect for going on a stroll through the park or window-shopping on Main Street. It will keep you warm without being too bulky and always keep you looking stylish at the same time.

How To: When spring fever has caught you in a slump, don’t feel like your style has to lose it too! Add dimension to your outfit by putting on a beanie with your favorite casual outfit. There are so many kinds out there, so shop around and find what style suits you best.

    Hello Fashionistas! My name is Abigail Shatrau. I am currently a junior at SUNY Oneonta. I am majoring in Fashion Merchandising, currently enrolled in the 3 in 1 program with F.I.T. This means that I spend 3 rad years at SUNY Oneonta and then finish out my school at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I am 20 years old and I am from the small city of Oswego, New York. I have a twin brother and an older sister that I continue to look up to and strive to be like. Besides my passion for fashion I am extremely intrigued by nutrition and health. I love being outdoors, going on walks, running, and overall just being active. I recently transitioned into a vegan lifestyle and that has been quite a big step and change in my life. I am loving everything about it so far and wouldn't change back for anything. Growing up in a small town can make it hard to figure out the full extent to which fashion expression can be reached. However, ever since I was little I loved to do everything artsy, crafty, and creative. I am not one to think up many original ideas of my own, but what I love about my major is that it can be all about the detail work, like the little things that matter, and its about collaborating with people, blossoming ideas through one another. To me that is so important because art, creativity, and everything fashion should be shared. We are all unique individuals that have unique ways of thinking and expressing ourselves. Just like College Fashionista, spreading ideas is what makes life more interesting and it brings us closer with people who love those same things as well. I hope that I do not let any of you down in my journey as a College Fashionista, I wish you all the best! Bisous, Abigail Shatrau
