Light colors and a schoolgirl-like look are present in the Fashion Journal October 2011 issue.

The issue features model Karlee O’Donnell sporting perky, bright shades for the Australian publication. She looks like an [innocent schoolgirl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecoming-styles) as she carries out the shoot in minimal makeup and a dangling ponytail. Captured by Daniel Gurton, Karlee dons [stylish dresses and formalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection) from the collections of Australian labels like Josh Goot, Gorman and Aexandra Blak among others.

The [neon colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) sported by Karlee, such as yellow, blue and pink, stand out from the otherwise whitewashed backdrop. The Fashion Journal October 2011 issue sure has got fashionistas wooed.
