Pixie cut a la RiRi

I just recently got a pixie cut. Any idea on how to make it feminine without looking too girly. Also I am petite and small. – Erica

There are a lot of ways to show off your feminine side other than wearing a dress and florals. It can be as simple as choosing tighter jeans and a lower cut top. Nothing says WOMAN more than curves and skin, but ofcourse, all in moderation.

Visual contrasts are also great if you want to be less subtle about it. Take your traditional girly concept like pink, hearts, dramatic accessories and contrast them with black, denim and leather.

Someone who does this too well (and rocks what is probably the most famous pixie cut of them all) is Rihanna. Girl is fierce, so there’s no one better to take a few pointers from. Her mix of kick-ass streetwear infused with girl-next-door goodness redefines femininity for the modern day urbanista; pink meets patent leather, casual cropped jackets meets divalicious bling and so on. It’s all about contradiction.
