Inspired By: The Classics Vol. 6

Yay for more classic literature! Have you read any of the classics so far this year? I read Persuasion by Jane Austen, but so far nothing else. I guess reading so many classic novels and plays in school makes me want to read more contemporary stories instead. 

The Secret Garden

{Click for item info}

Written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this beloved children's novel is about two unhappy children, Mary and Colin, her invalid cousin, who discover a secret garden on their property with the help of a Yorkshire boy named Dickon. They become determined to bring joy to the lives of those around them.

Go for the English garden look by wearing a white sweater, dark floral dress, black thigh highs, and brown oxfords. Or for a more contemporary outfit, a navy wide brim hat, printed teal dress, bird ring, and nude flats would be perfect.

Through the Looking Glass

Written by Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass is a sequel of sorts to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice returns to Wonderland by going through a mirror, where she encounters the Red Queen, a Jabberwocky, Humpty Dumpty among others in this fantastical world.

Go crazy and mix prints by wearing a fun striped green top, printed pants, cat ring, and black loafers. Or go for a modern Alice look by putting on mirrored shades, a blue collared dress, a timepiece necklace, and striped heels.

Romeo and Juliet

Written by William Shakespeare, this romantic tragedy is about two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, who are from two warring families, but who fall in love regardless of the consequences.

For a romantic look, wear a floral maxi dress, headband, lots of rings and bracelets, and nude cut-out wedges. Or instead wear a floral peplum top, bottle necklace, rose gold jewelry, jeans, and floral flats.
