What to Wear While Reading Rules of Civility

Continuing on with our series of imagined outfits to wear while reading our book each month is this little outfit for reading Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. The shirt and pants are reminiscent of what she wears while up at the cottage with Wallace (and the blanket is inspired by scenes from there too) while the clutch, scarf, and shoes are inspired from her night out at the French restaurant by herself. I know she wore a white dress with blue polka dots on it and navy, presumably high heeled, shoes, but I thought those worked well too. I thought the red lipstick went well with the outfit, and seemed 1930s to me and I liked the nail polish too. Of course, to complete the outfit this book can be read while being driven along in a Bentley. Have fun!

What to Wear While Reading The Hunger Games

I thought it would be fun to start up a column about what to wear while reading the books we do. Totally imaginary outfits that hint at something in the book - whether it be a character description, setting, or emotion it evokes while reading. First up, (even though we've already finished reading it) The Hunger Games.
1. well worn jeans  2. China Glaze Capitol Colours nail polish  3. a leather jacket  4. a cozy sweatshirt  5. a Hunger Games charm bracelet  6. rugged leather boots  7. chunky wool socks
So, what do you think? Anything that I left out that is essential for reading The Hunger Games?
