BOOK INSPIRED LOOKS | Divergent::Erudite

DIVERGENT | Erudite by andiaschehera featuring an indian purse

 

Erudite faction focuses on obtaining knowledge. The blue color they wear is said to be calming as to aid in their clarity of the mind. I went with something studious yet laid back and not as uptight as some of the Erudite characters come off in the book.

After reading the book, I went back and forth between which faction I would have been in. I am a behind the scenes kind of person, not trying to draw attention to myself, but I am very black and white as well as have a thirst for knowledge. While I was online reading the faction manifestos I saw a link to take the test. It was cheesy of course, but I found out I was...{hold for dramatic pause} DIVERGENT. And it was as I guessed it, a blend of the three I mentioned (so Erudite of me). If anyone of you have read the book, what faction are you?

BOOK INSPIRED LOOKS | Divergent::Amity

DIVERGENT | Amity by andiaschehera featuring BCBGMAXAZRIA

 

Amity faction wears the peaceful colors of either yellow or red or both. Mixing red and yellow together can be tricky as it always makes one think of hamburgers and hotdogs. I broke it up with some neutral colors and used less saturated hues of the two colors. I am interested to see how the movie mixes the two colors. I am thinking less bright and airy to go with whole dystopian theme.

BOOK INSPIRED LOOKS | Divergent::Dauntless

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.
