So let's warm things up with an outfit post, shall we? Back in December I posted a review of Sonya Sones' book To Be Perfectly Honest. It follows Colette, a teen whose mom is a celebrity and who just wants to live her own life. So in other words, their relationship is a little rocky.
When I decided to design an outfit after Colette, I kept thinking about the two sides to her. The side that has to smile and be a celebrity's daughter, and the side that hates her mother's decisions. So a behaved girl with a little rebellious streak. So with that inspiration, I decided on a floral outfit with a little edge. And here's what I created:
A little girly, a little edgy.
Let's discuss!
- The dress is a simple yet cute floral sundress. To Be Perfectly Honest is set during the summer, so I could definitely see Colette wear this dress when she leaves their hotel home-away-from-home.
- But instead of wearing cute sandals or heels, I think Colette would throw on some Converse, just to make her mother mad.
- Multiple layers of bracelets always seem edgy to me. They seem to have that "I don't care that I'm wearing too many bracelets--I like them all!" attitude. So I put bracelets on both arms, one being a layered look.
- Colette isn't Gothic, so I didn't want to be so edgy that I made her wear all black. So I threw in some deep burgundy nail polish.
What do you think? Could you see Colette, a rebellious teenager, wearing something like this?
Dress--House of Fraser
Shoes--Pac Sun
Layered Bracelets--One Kings Lane
Hoop Bracelet--Macys
Nail Polish--OPI "Just Beclaws"
Tomorrow I'll be reviewing a historical fiction book--check back to see what I thought!
