Alexa and Katelyn have been running this fabulous event all day yesterday and today and I decided to participate some. Last night I did the Madlibs and today is a Mashup of books and what we love. Make sure you check out Alexa’s and Katelyn’s blogs and the other participants.
Since my blog is a basic mashup of the things I love, clothes and books, I had to think about this and what I came up with was a post I did a while back but have been thinking of doing again: Dressing a book character.
Some months ago I decided to dress Anna Oliphant from Anna and the French Kiss. It was fun to think of what I knew about Anna and put her in clothes I think she would wear around Paris. I want to do it again, but I’m just not sure who yet. Suggestions are gladly accepted.
LOVEEEEEE
This is such a super fun idea! I love the idea of dressing up characters! I could definitely picture Anna wearing/using/and even eating those items!
Love your mash-up! What a great idea, and how fun! I could use a personal um… dresser? LOL! Whatever the word is!
Yay love that you included the girl scout cookies and the hair dye! This is so fun! I want to fill Anna’s bag with books.
This is amazing! I haven’t read the book but I love the concept. I’ve seen this done with Disney characters before. Awesome mash up!
I love dressing book characters and have a few characters on my Polyvore account: http://www.polyvore.com/literary_fashion/collection?id=1416233
I haven’t read Anna and the French Kiss, but I love the outfit you’ve chosen.
So cute! I love that outfit and kind of want that Ooh La La shirt for myself. š You should dress someone from a dystopian in normal clothes, like Katniss or something. Or Cress!
I’ve always wanted to try dressing up a character! You did a great job here! The outfit is super cute š
This is such a cool idea!! I would totally wear that outfit. I especially love the purple shoes! So cool!
Great job picking out clothes for Anna. Also, thin mints!!
This outfit is totally perfect for Anna! I love that shirt!
I definitely see Anna wearing such an outfit. I really like the T-shirt š

Dressing up characters is so much fun! Haven’t read the book, but the clothes look great together (:

I love this idea!! I haven’t read Anna, so I can’t comment on whether I think your choices are fitting for her, but I’d love to see you do this more in the future!
LOVE the Oh La La tshirt and LOVEEE the white cardigan. ACtually I love the entire thing <3 Great idea!!!
I love that you did this, Andi! Such a great idea for a mash-up. Plus, I would totally wear this entire outfit, except maybe the shoes. Lovely!
