Aside from books, one of my favorite things is
fashion. The only thing better than a gorgeous dress or a wonderful novel is a
gorgeous dress that makes me think of a wonderful novel, which is why I decided
to combine the two into one blog post.
The result of this idea is Story Stitching, a
somewhat sporadic feature that I created so I could integrate two of my biggest
obsessions. Every once in a while, I dress up a book or series with some
articles of clothing- whether they are something the characters might wear or
simply something the story makes me think of-and share my musings with all of
you.
As this is my first time trying out this new kind
of post, I decided to go with something relatively easy-the Gallagher Girls Series by Ally Carter. Forgive me if I include way too many boarding school
preppy pieces and espionage-like gear, but these cute and functional items, to
me, just scream "school for spies!"
 |
| Blazers always radiate a certain sense of sophistication, and this one is perfect for a highly intelligent, wise-beyond-her-years Gallagher Girl. |
 |
| This sweater not only screams "private boarding school," but seems pretty warm for chilly fall stakeouts. |
 |
| A white ruffled tote is an adorable way for a
student at the Gallagher Academy to carry her gear from covert operations to
culture & assimilation. Unless she is Liz and needs a more capacious bag
for all of her books. |

These boots are stylish, but they also give the
impression that the wearer means business. If I attended Cammie Morgan's
school, these would be a staple in my closet.

 |
| Even a school for spies has dances, and, for a
reason I cannot quite pinpoint, this dress seems like the kind of thing a
Gallagher Girl would wear to one. It is pretty simple, yet utterly stunning. |
In my mind, Gallagher Academy style is very
classy and adaptable. Even the school uniforms featured on the covers of the
books are adorable, which is a bit of a difficult feat to accomplish. If anyone
can balance being fashionable and being a field agent, it is a Gallagher Girl,
and I would love to see how she does it.
... you read my mind. I was thinking about spy books like yesterday.... weird O_0
ReplyDeleteI don't see the purse only because what's a spy girl doing with a purse while you need to run around and stuff? Saying that the boots looks like they would work :P
My mind is weird. Maybe I'm thinking thievery. That's why I'm thinking black. Blazers are the perfect look for a school of spy girls. Those sweater vests too!
Love the fashion choices. Also, LOVE Gallagher Girls. Gosh, GG6 can't come out soon enough ;)
