Inspired By: The Classics Vol. 9

I took a small break from The Classics series, but they're back! I'm hoping to do one of these posts once a month or once every two months. If you have any classic novels that you would like me to create an outfit for, let me know! I'm up for suggestions. 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

{Click for item info}

Written by Lewis Carroll, we're all familiar with this whimsical and mind-tripping tale of a girl who goes down a rabbit hole and encounters mysterious creatures and people, like the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the hookah-smoking caterpillar. 

I took inspiration from these interesting covers for the above outfits: a light blue chambray dress, a white sweater, a yellow zippered purse, cat stud earrings, and black oxford flats. For the Mad Hatter's outfit, I went with a blue hat, an emerald blazer, a cream sweater, blue printed pants, and dapper flats.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

Written by Victor Hugo, this story is about Quasimodo, the hunchback of who lives within the walls of the cathedral because his adoptive father, Claude Frollo, the Archdeacon of Notre-Dame, orders him to stay inside as the bell-ringer. Quasimodo falls in love with Esmerelda, a Gypsy street dancer. 

For these looks, I took inspiration from the classic Disney movie that I've seen way too many times. For Quasimodo: a burgundy polka dot tunic, black leggings, cross ring, pointed black flats. For Esmeralda: a white crop top, a purple skirt, owl necklace, gold ear cuff, and teal heels.

Black Beauty

Written by Anna Sewell, Black Beauty is the classic children's novel told from the horse's point of view. It starts with his carefree days on an English farm to his difficult time pulling cabs in London. 

Of course I had to go with all-black looks for Black Beauty: a black top, a black pleated skirt, black stud earrings, and velvet pointed pumps. Or a black chiffon top, high-waisted black jeans, a horse ring, a bow bracelet, and black heeled sandals.

The Taming of the Shrew

Written by William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew is about Katerina, the "shrew" that no man wants to marry. She has a younger sister, Bianca, who has several suitors, but their father refuses to marry off Bianca until Katerina is married first. 

This play has a soft-spot in my heart because when I was in middle school I did a school project with Jackie and we made a hilarious video. And did you know that the 90s movie 10 Things I Hate About You is based on this play? I went for something fun and modern for these outfits: For Bianca a white lace dress, a sparkly necklace, a purple belt, and gray heels. For Katerina's outfit: a black dress, a floral blue necklace, a blue belt, gray thigh highs, and brown booties.
