BOOK INSPIRED LOOKS | Divergent::Dauntless

DIVERGENT | Dauntless by andiaschehera featuring black leggings

Dauntless is the faction that focuses on bravery. Their are also the military faction, wearing mostly blacks (think military gothic). I love the structure behind their faction all the while still being untamed.

Yep. I am still here. I am still there too. Praying that all this stuff comes together. I have had a few setbacks, but if anything the experience is challenging me in ways I have not been challenged in a long time. Its unnerving to say the least. Here are a few promo sneak peeks from a month ago (I know. Slacker. But I have a good reason.) I can't wait to show you more!

BOOK INSPIRED LOOKS | Divergent::Abnegation

DIVERGENT | Abnegation by andiaschehera featuring leather boots

I love reading. While I was in school I was denied the pleasure of reading for...well pleasure. During my last semester, I actually had some down time during interning to pick up a few books. A mixture of Michael Crichton books and a YA book called Divergent (balance. after reading about the space time continuum, a teenage dystopian society deflates the egotism swelling in my brain of surviving a Crichton novel). Bravo Veronica Roth. This is one of the books that will be featured in the fashion show this November, and the stylists have their looks, but I wanted to play around with the interpretation for my own personal wardrobe. So for the next couple of weeks or so I'll be doing segments on book inspired looks (hey I just found my title!)

Anyway, that being said, for those who haven't read the books...just wait till the movie. It might explain the factions better. But a crash course on it all is that there are five factions in a futuristic Chicago that embody five characteristics that are believed to keep humanity from civil unrest. Abnegation is the selfless group, the invisibles if you will and the faction of the protagonist in the story. They wear greys, a very muted color that keeps them from focusing on themselves.

Breezy. Pure breezy. This is what Florida needs to model themselves after: the Parisians. They get an A+ for summer wear.

OOTD | Leather cropped blazer

I am back!...well at least when I have the time. I found this wonderful 100% leather blazer and a matching skirt at Edgewater's thrift store for $18.00! Then I got the new kicks for $15 at C. Russe with a discount my sister got while buying her pair. The darling necklace is from World Market for $10. All under $50. This tomgirl is patting herself on the back!
