Fashion Fiesta: Female Invasion
Carolyn Sinclair,Youthlink Writer

It's summer; it's hot and the fashionistas are making their move. Some are heading for that much-anticipated vacation while others are gearing up for that exciting or dreaded holiday job, hoping to make some extra cash for the hottest party of the season or for college. Either way, expect an all out female invasion!

Planning to be on your feet all day, trudging back and forth in bulky wellington boots? Nothing can feel more comfortable yet look more unflattering. With a white blouse accentuated with metal studs and chains, paired with high-waisted leggings, who said wellingtons couldn't look chic?

Tailored shorts are a must for hot summer evenings; they're the most comfortable to slip into. For an evening out, pair them with a loose-fitting, cotton, button-down shirt and add a little life with a colourful tie. To draw attention to your legs and turn the heat up a notch, combine this outfit with a pair of bright, coloured shoes like these hot, fuchsia, peep-toe ankle boots.	Rompers are very flexible, and they provide a sense of freedom. Dress them up or down and they can be worn anywhere. Accessorise and transform this outfit with bold earrings, a colourful necklace and gold heels.

Rugged clothes can be worn just about anywhere but make sure to choose jeans that are strong yet do not take away from your feminine appeal. If you think the outfit looks too macho, complement it with creative Ts and something super feminine like these yellow heels.
