Eric prince is a leech on the body of the republic.

> hundreds of vip€™s and government officals (iraqi and u. s. )have been safely escorted, without a single loss of a client.

On the other hand they have blown away more than a few civilians with impunity. apparently they have james bond’s license-to-kill.

> the u. s. government cannot provide the caliber of men that blackwater offers, to do this kind of job.

You’re killing me. where does blackwater hire from ? ? ? ? eric prince, a “former navy seal himself”? ? the u. s. government could easily handle this job itself, and for a lower price tag too. how did you win world war ii ? ? ?

The only reason blackwater exists is to suck dollars from the pockets of americans and pour them into the coffers of well-connected republicans. disgusting.

Most definitely — they are so vintage! i remember wearing them as a kid and i love them on me just as much now as i did then! definite yes!

2 August 11th, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Annastasia

Only if it’s under a pair of shorts, otherwise they kinda look like a long pair of underwear.

3 August 11th, 2009 at 5:18 pm

Jessi

I love the look in the middle picture! i would def. rock the biker shorts with a longer shirt…im not a fan of the leggings under shorts look.

4 August 11th, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Crystal

Omigod! the 80′s are officially back! :p yeah, i’d probably wear a cut-up or lace pair. But, i agree with annastasia…only under shorts. When i first read the title of this post, i thought you meant by themselves and cringed a bit (oKay, a lot).

5 August 11th, 2009 at 5:36 pm

I’ve been wearing them to eXercise and under dresses if I’m biking somewhere for a really long time. Never wore them as part of an outfit… not my style. American Apparel makes great ones though, for anyone whose interested.

6 August 11th, 2009 at 5:51 pm

Sharon

No way would i wear these, reminds me too much of the 80′s- and not in the good way. Yikes! !

7 August 11th, 2009 at 6:00 pm

Blair

No no && most definitely not. these remind me too much of after school sports practices. –& not in a good way.

8 August 11th, 2009 at 6:00 pm

Z

Ew. no.

9 August 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Ally

Very cute trend. Can’t say i would wear them personally becausei have short legs. i Don’t really like holes in the biker shorts but plain black is fabulous.

10 August 11th, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Lyndsay

I like the ones in the middle. i personally think they look a bit silly under denim shorts.

11 August 11th, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Rayna

I like the idea, but i just tried it and it looks weird with what i have. maybe if they aren’t cturoff shorts they would work for me. but for now, i think i’ll pass lol.

12 August 11th, 2009 at 6:19 pm

Johnieemma

I really like this look! I wouldn’t wear it all the time but When I feel a bit edgy and need a more fallish look for my cut-offs it’s perfect. Usually I keep them around for the gym so it’s not like you need to spend eXtra money.

Good one!

13 August 11th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Kath

I’ve rocked everything from tie dyed jeans to liquid leggings, but this one is too out there for me. it looks great on models and in photos, but i couldn’t pull that off in real life. Kudos to anyone who makes it work!

14 August 11th, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Ashley

I just realiZed that I had been wearing bike shorts with loose tops during the entire summer. I didn’t know they were a fashion trend! ? So I guess to answer your question…yes.

15 August 11th, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Marissa

Yeahhhhhhh! ! where can i find em! ?

16 August 11th, 2009 at 6:35 pm

Rachelle

I bought a pair of these with a lace trim from charlotte russe to try out. i think this look could be cute with just the lace trim peeking out of a pair of cutoffs. i have short legs, so i think if i made my shorts too much longer with the bike shorts it might have the wrong effect. im waiting for them to come in the mail so i can try them out!

17 August 11th, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Joanne

Under a pair of shorts, yes – a new way to wear denim shorts is oKay in my book.

18 August 11th, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Stephanie

How about leggings under shorts? would it be weird since they’re longer?

19 August 11th, 2009 at 7:00 pm

Lady m

This recycled 80s thing is so played out. i love the 80s, but can we have some new fashion trends now? ?

20 August 11th, 2009 at 7:07 pm

Stephanie

i’m not so sure about this one. I have bike shorts but only for biking purposes. i cant picture wearing em under shorts cuZ it seems a lil too bulky for people who aren’t a siZe 2. the last thing i wanna do is add bulk to my waistline. however the lace biking shorts with a lose long shirt is kinda cute. but Can’t u see ur underwear thru those things?

21 August 11th, 2009 at 7:12 pm

Teri

I love the bike shorts under a loose top look, but i’m not feeling it under a denim short.

22 August 11th, 2009 at 7:14 pm

Kirsten

Im not a huge fan of this trend…. my style is more classic then up to date trendy.

23 August 11th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

Rebecca

Under shorts is a cool style and i really like the middle outfit. Don’t know if i’d wear it though

24 August 11th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

Kortnee

Not for me.

25 August 11th, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Summer

I think it’s a really cool idea; sort of like leggings to wear under a tunic or shorts without all the maTerial so you Don’t get hot. But I Don’t know if just anyone could pull it off. Maybe if we see it around a bit more…

26 August 11th, 2009 at 9:50 pm

Faby

Oh! it’s so 80′s! mmm but i guess i’ll not wear those… i’m not thin and i guess i’ll look fat

27 August 11th, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Sonnie

I realy think this is a cut e trend but not 4everybodybecuz i feel like a lot of ppl are just gonna wear this the wrong way but if the right person with the right cut offs or super chic loose-fitting flowly top pairedwith it could work for all type of women big or small… so overall i luvv it

28 August 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm

Channing

I actually have worn biker shorts under shorts. not cutoffs though. they also look nice under mini skirts and mini dresses. i have short legs too, they look fine on me.

29 August 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm

Caitlin

not so craZy about under the denim shorts. I Don’t know if I’ll be trying this out but the middle look is pretty cute

30 August 11th, 2009 at 10:14 pm

kenZie

I tried on a pair of these with a skirt earlier in the summer and i really didnt like it…i may have to pick up a cheap pair from charlotte russe or forever21, etc. and try on different stuff with them. at the very least i can wear them as pj bottoms.

31 August 11th, 2009 at 10:20 pm

Hannah from hannah in tennessee

yes! i just saw some of these at tjmaXX in the neon colors! i think ‘m going to run out an get them tomorrow!

32 August 11th, 2009 at 10:37 pm

Michelle

As a fashion statement, probably not (unless i was wearing them under a really short skirt or something), but as someone who wears a military uniform for her college’s military marching band, biker shorts and under armour are your best friends When it comes to not having your underwear show through white pants and to keep your collared shirt nice, tight, and Crisp-looking When tucked into your pants. :d

33 August 11th, 2009 at 10:47 pm

La petite fashionista

Love love love. so 90′s grunge cool. i like the look underneath denim shorts, and this would make a super easy diy

34 August 11th, 2009 at 10:51 pm

Ellie

I love it. i’ve also seen them pulled off quite well by stylish wanderer on her blog, chictopia, teen ugly and such. neon bike shorts under a long white slub tank looks very fresh and fun.

35 August 11th, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Kay

I will be looking into this trend for back to school, deffinetley a trendy way to handle those chillier new england days in fall, and it would allow me to stand out from the crowd. i love the way krystal bick (from the middle picture) has been pulling the look off on her blog, its clearly a versatile piece. just spicing up an old classic, in my opinion.

36 August 11th, 2009 at 11:19 pm

Jennifer

I most certainly will not be wearing them. i’m sure they would make me much more self concious about my thighs, which i am already uncomfortable with. i Don’t think they would suit me.

37 August 11th, 2009 at 11:30 pm

Heather

I love the bike shorts under shorts look! i think they’d look super cute under a denim skirt as well. but i Don’t think i would wear them with just a top, hehe.

38 August 11th, 2009 at 11:37 pm

Melissa kay

Yuck, no! =)

39 August 12th, 2009 at 12:35 am

Lena michelle

Im not sure how they’d look on me, but i think it’s a creative new idea :d! it’d be a fresh thing to try i personally Don’t like the middle one though

40 August 12th, 2009 at 1:06 am

Candice

Lol totally i Don’t think everything out of the ’80s was horrible!

When you have the bike shorts sort of peekingout from under a pair of denim shorts – that’s really cute layering!

41 August 12th, 2009 at 1:25 am

Bella christine

LOVE this trend! i wore them a couple times because I felt too self conscious to wear just shorts(it has been a long, laZy summer–legs are notin cut-off shape! )felt very comfortable and got lots of compliments. the ones with lace on the bottom look the cutest

42 August 12th, 2009 at 1:35 am

Jess

Yes, i would definitely wear them with shorts. so cute

43 August 12th, 2009 at 2:22 am

Goodlookingcorgi

My butt looks nice but not nice enough to be in bike shorts, especially with just bike shorts. plus it looks a little bit ridiculous under another pair of shorts.

44 August 12th, 2009 at 2:44 am

Bloodredthorn

Looks cute, i’d rock that if i lived somewhere warm

45 August 12th, 2009 at 2:46 am

Jlynn

Biker shorts are great for practical use but for fashion, I have to disagree. I know this trend was all over AleXander Wang’s runway but I personally think it’s hideous, especially under shorts. I mean…is it really necessary? I love ’80s trends, but this one seems more like a fad.

46 August 12th, 2009 at 4:21 am

Tessa

No. no no no no. i wouldn’t at all. others could probably rock it, just not me.

47 August 12th, 2009 at 5:15 am

Tiffany

I think leggings are cute on people other than myself and i absolutely love tights but this… no. tacky.

48 August 12th, 2009 at 5:36 am

Luinae

Only if i was doing yoga. i Can’t see myself or anyone else pulling this off. no

49 August 12th, 2009 at 7:19 am

Sophie

No. i think they’re disgusting!

50 August 12th, 2009 at 7:58 am

Lydia

Bike shorts are good for indoor cycling classes, but not as tights…. the length isn’t suitable….

51 August 12th, 2009 at 11:21 am

Samantha

I think it’s really convenient trend, I have plenty of dresses that are a tad bit too short and the shorts eXtend my range of motion. I would say YES I love my biker shorts just not paired with cutoffs, just dresses that need it.

52 August 12th, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Cara

Well, being mostly a classic girl, my obvious answer should be no…but i have a retro-funky streak that really loves the lace ones! they’re a way to play with a look that’s more urban cool than i usually manage, while still having the girly touch. i definitely like them alone rather than under shorts; that is too grunge. btw, what is some people’s problem with just shorts or leggings on the bottom, esp. under a long top? it’s no worse than wearing shorty shorts alone, and i used to wear just bike shorts and leggings as a child and i loved them, so sleek but so comfortable (and we all know that’s a high fashion rarity).

53 August 12th, 2009 at 1:06 pm

Claire

Yes… on a bike.

54 August 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Julie

I love the idea of pairing lacy bike shorts with a long top or a short dress, so cute.

55 August 12th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

Rachelle

I just got a pair of these shorts in the mail from charlote russe (the ones you featured in your post with every day outfits) and they look super cute underneath denim shorts. for me, i only like the lace to peek out a little at the bottom, so my version is a little watered down, but i love it!

56 August 12th, 2009 at 5:49 pm

Brooke

Nooooo! ! they look awful underneath the shorts! the only picture that kind of works is the middle one…i could see them with a short dress or top but i think calf-length lace tights would be so much better anyway. god i hope this doesn’t become a wide-spread thing.

57 August 12th, 2009 at 6:44 pm

Allison

I’m not loving this one. they look kind of cheap, but maybe some people can pull it off. the way the middle girl’s wearing it looks cute.

58 August 12th, 2009 at 7:39 pm

Mici

No, i wouldn’t wear that! ! i mean, it looks hot on some people (taylor momsen, rihanna…) but not on me, for sure. but if i had to, i would try to make it look like the picture on the right.

Keep up the good work with this blog! !

59 August 13th, 2009 at 8:09 am

Nishtha

Da second looks really hot… da bike shorts are your thing if you have the perfect toned thighs for them.

60 August 13th, 2009 at 4:53 pm

Heather

This is way cute! it definitely depends on how you wear it. i think i might try this out today When i go back to school shopping!

61 August 13th, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Jackie

Perhaps for undergarment purposes, but not as shorts.

62 August 14th, 2009 at 10:31 am

Joy

Nope i won’t wear it not my style at all

63 August 14th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Mani

Hmm, i am on the fence about this trend for sure. it’s not for everyone and though i love the “motorcycle” style, i Don’t think this one’s doing it for me. it’s definitely daring though yet tame enough for the everyday – girls can wear it and still look fashionable and edgy yet not over the top. i personally will stick to my lacy black leggings underneath my shorts

64 August 16th, 2009 at 12:26 am

Aiko

I love biking shorts! i’d actually been wearing a pair with those skirts that were just a little bit too short but they look so great under shorts too! i love them- they’re like short leggings.

65 August 17th, 2009 at 3:19 am

Faye

I wear bike shorts… When i’m biking. for everyday wear it looks a bit trashy. i’ve already had enough of an eyefull of cameltoes and other unpleasantries from legging wearers, thanks.

66 August 17th, 2009 at 5:27 pm

Kate w

No… i dont like it… but maybe on bike :d

67 August 18th, 2009 at 5:47 pm

Cris

love the look. anyone know where i can get some like the middle picture? especially looking for plus siZes

68 August 20th, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Holly

Eww. i guess the trashy trailer park look is back in style? (vomits)… sorry… no way… no one over the age of 12 should be tryin to rock this look. on a developed body it looks totally skanky…

69 August 23rd, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Zoey

i like the first one…seXy,but not wearing a bikini otop and cut-offs seXy more romantic pretty.

70 August 23rd, 2009 at 5:54 pm

Haleigh

Um no. way too 80s grunge for an outfit you might wear some place u wanna look put together

71 August 25th, 2009 at 10:17 pm

Linda

It’s not my thing, but if you try it, you have to have an amaZing body, especially legs, for a daring fashion like this.

72 September 2nd, 2009 at 6:07 am

Jeanie

i tried out this trend today. about 10 people asked “are you wearing spandeX under your shorts? ” i looked really cute though.

73 September 2nd, 2009 at 1:30 pm

Marlena

I think it would look cute if you put a lacy pair under jean shorts, but that’s it.

74 May 13th, 2011 at 9:45 pm

Mery

I’d definitely wear the second one!

Fashion Inspired by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I

Written by Megan – west virginia university 36 Comments

A few weeks ago, the seventh installment of the harry potter series, harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1, hit movie theaters around the world. the movie, based on the book, features the exploits of wizard friends harry potter, ron weasley, and hermione granger. my last post dealt with hermione granger’s practical style, but there are so many other characters in the film with distinct styles worth featuring.

In this post, i’ll show you how to emulate the styles of ginny weasley, luna lovegood, bellatrix lestrange, fleur delacour, dolores umbridge, and, of course, harry potter. whether you’re planning your costume for the final midnight premiere this summer (sob! ) or just want to get some new fashion ideas, these outfits will add a bit of magic to your day.

1. Ginny Weasley

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Ginny weasley, ron’s younger sister and harry potter’s girlfriend, is a strong, fearless redhead who is a loyal friend to all. ginny’s style is classic – she favors well-cut silhouettes in solid colors and always completes her look with a sleek, straight hairstyle. i particularly like the knotted half-updo she sported on the day of bill and fleur’s wedding, shown above. she paired this hairstyle with a timeless cocktail dressthat hada sheer overlay and embellished trim.

To recreate ginny’s wedding look, i started with an lbd with a sheer top just like ginny’s. keep the outfit simple and classic by choosing accessories in the same color family that have interesting details, like the diamond-patterned tights and lace flats. sparkly jewelry adds interest, and a ruffled barrette looks great tucked into a chignon or used to clip hair to the side like ginny does in the third photo.

Product Information: Earrings- Forever 21, Flats- Asos, Dress- ModCloth, Barrette- Tarina Tarantino, Tights- Miss Selfridge, Ring- Forever 21.

2. Luna Lovegood

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Luna,daughter of the editor of the newspaper, the quibbler, may have her head in the clouds, but is always a faithful friend no matter what. luna has a very bohemian, artsy style influenced partly by her father’s hippie look. she wears bright colors like yellow and pink throughout most of the movie, contrasting with its otherwise dark and gloomy palette. even though it’s not from this particular movie, i love her christmas ball look (above right) and think it portrays her curious spirit so well that i included it.

For a look like luna’s, start with a floral-embroidered top tucked into a comfy corduroy skirt and over-the-knee socks. add whimsy with a peacock feather hair clip and animal-influenced jewelry that reflects luna’s love of nature. quirky red-laced boots and a bright yellow coat add pops of color.

Product Information: Jacket- ModCloth, Socks- ModCloth, Skirt- Old Navy, Top- ModCloth, Hair Clip- Forever 21, Fox Bracelet- ModCloth, Owl Necklace- ModCloth, Boots- Fred Flare.

3. Bellatrix Lestrange

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Death eater bellatrix is one of bad-guy voldemort’s most trusted followers. the pale, dark-haired, fanatical witch almost always wears black with pops of deep purple and crimson. bellatrix’s staple pieces are black maxi-skirts and lace-up boots.

If you’d like to become a death eater yourself (or just dress like one), pair a lace maxi-skirt and boots with a black tank, purple fabric belt, and long ebony coat. ghoulish accessories like a skull barrette and red-eyed snake ring are reminiscent of the dark mark, voldemort’s symbol. dark red lipstick adds a final deathly touch.

Product Information: Boots- Forever 21, Belt- Net-a-Porter, Snake Ring- Amazon, Tank- Old Navy, Skirt- Forever 21, Coat- Forever 21, Lipstick- Beauty Encounter, Hair Clip- Tarina Tarantino.

4. Fleur Delacour

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Fleur delacour is a french witch from beauxbatons academy of magic who first came to hogwarts during book 4 to compete in the triwizard tournament. the beautiful, slightly haughty fleur marries ron’s brother bill in this film, wearing a ruffled wedding dress with a lace phoenix design. (her gown made headlines when critics branded it a knock off of alexander mcqueen’s famous peacock dress. ) in all the films she appears in, fleur is almost always depicted wearing various shades of blue.

To get fleur’s look, try a light blue dress with a navy blue velvet blazer and military jacket similar to the one fleur wears when disguised as harry (above right). add dainty accessories like chandelier earrings, lace tights, and victorian-inspired boots. finally, a navy blue fedora is also much more wearable than fleur’s powder blue one, and looks just as chic.

Product Information: Coat- Urban Outfitters, Boots- ModCloth, Dress- ModCloth, Earrings- Miss Selfridge, Blazer- Amazon, Fedora- Yes Style, Tights- Anthropologie.

5. Dolores Umbridge

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Don’t let her love of china, cats, and all things pink fool you -dolores umbridge is one of the series’ most vicious villains. she works at the ministry of magic and was both a professor and headmistress at hogwarts, much to the dismay of the students.

When creating dolores’ look, i stuck to a palette of pinks and found a dress to reflect her love of tweed. aclassic cardigan, beaded earrings, and teacup necklace keep the look ironically proper. to add a bit of fun and make such a refined ensemble wearable for college, finish off with floral tights, a baby pink infinity scarf, and gray leather heels.

Product Information: Earrings- Rachel Zoe for QVC, Scarf- ModCloth, Tights- Miss Selfridge, Dress- ModCloth, Necklace- ModCloth, Cardigan- ModCloth, Heels- ShopRuche.

…and Harry Potter!

Photo Credits: 1, 2, 3.

Harry’s look has changed over the years as he’s gotten older and begun to experience the stresses of both adulthood and battling voldemort full-time. the intelligent wizard bravely deals with the loss of loved ones around him as he fights to defeat evil and protect his cherished friends.

In the deathly hallows, harry sports many gray and blue items, as well as classic layers and well-cut basics. to emulate his look, wear a striped tee with a menswear-inspired vest and chunky grandpa cardigan. brown pants tucked into gray lace-up boots are comfy enough for any adventure, and the gold ring reminds me of the golden snitch dumbledore left harry in his will. of course, you can’t forget harry’s iconic wire-rimmed glasses as the finishing touch!

Product Information: Ring- Forever 21, Vest- Urban Outfitters, Glasses- Entertainment Earth, Cardigan- Urban Outfitters, Boots- Forever 21, Pants- Urban Outfitters, Striped Tee- Madewell.

What do you think?

Are you a fan ofany of the characters’ styles listed above? are there any other harry potter characters whose styles you love? how do you use movies and books to inspire your fashion choices? let me know with your comments!

I kind of wish you had done hermione instead of bellatrix or umbridge, but otherwise i love everything here! ! great job, i think ginny’s dress is my favorite.

2 December 10th, 2010 at 4:41 pm

Anon

Just fyi, the quibbler isn’t the hogwarts paper; it’s more like a paper that publishes conspiracy theories and other really eccentric things that probably aren’t true or don’t exist. like the national enquirer but more benign.

Similarly, luna isn’t the editor; her father is.

3 December 10th, 2010 at 4:45 pm

Ashley – flagler college

Ahh, Anon I noticed that too! The Quibbler’s a tabloid run by her father.

I am in love with all of luna’s pieces. they are so quirky and unique just like the character.

I also really like all the items you picked out for harry! i would wear all of them– except for the glasses haha

Good job, megan!

Anon: you are right, i didn’t realize i made that mistake! thank you.

Katelin

I cannot get enough of harry potter lately, so I’m really happy you wrote this article! and thank you for including some villains as well, because, despite being such horrible people, they are really intriguing characters.

6 December 10th, 2010 at 5:15 pm

Milana

I’ve never read the books or seen the movies, but i love the look inspired by harry! great job!

7 December 10th, 2010 at 5:18 pm

Lea

Best post ever! ! i love umbridge’s outfit the best- it’s spot on!

8 December 10th, 2010 at 5:25 pm

Jessie

Hey, i would love it if you could do an outfit inspired by ron. i know its kind of weird but i mean you did harry so why not ron. also i know you already did hermione in another post but it would be cool if maybe you did a post of outfits inspired by emma watson. i love her style and would really love some help in the inspirational department. thanks. xoxox

9 December 10th, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Eimear

He who must not be named! ! you don’t want him to find you, do you? ? :p also i absolutely adore bellatrix – she’s one of the most intriguing characters – so thank you for including her!

10 December 10th, 2010 at 5:29 pm

Courtney

Luna’s second outfit is my fave…i love everything about it, but I’m especially digging the boots w/ red laces…and that price ($70) can’t be beat!

11 December 10th, 2010 at 5:41 pm

Alyssa

These looks are perfect! I’m really loving ginny’s–i think it’d be great for nye!

12 December 10th, 2010 at 5:46 pm

The outfit inspired by harry is my favourite! hahah.

I loved your hermione post, so i was super excited to see this one. love the luna clothes!

14 December 10th, 2010 at 6:21 pm

Sarah

I love this post i really liked ginny’s dress in the movie, so im glad you featured a similar dress and it’s great how you could turn harry’s style into a something a girl could wear :d

15 December 10th, 2010 at 6:41 pm

I am so glad to see a bit on luna’s style! i have to admit that i don’t think the silhouettes are whimsical enough– i haven’t seen the movie yet, but i know when i read the books i definitely didn’t see her in such tailored/classically shaped pieces. love the colors though!

Ginny and fleur are my absolute favorites. all the looks from the wedding scenes were stunning: hermione’s red dress was divine and ginny’s was really chic. also shall we talk about fleur’s wedding gown? fabulous. seriously i need something like this when i’ll tie the knot. i also admire luna’s look even though i would never be able to show off such an unique style.

The umbridge outfit is perfect.

Love the post! all the outfits were spot on (especially umbridge’s and luna’s) and i really enjoyed seeing villans included as well. i’d love to see a article analyzing ron and harry’s styles in the film, like the one done for hermoine which was brilliant.

I think that the luna and umbridge outfits were perfect, but i think that the ginny outfit was lacking.

I was so excited to see this post, especially after the amazing hermione one!

I am in love with the ginny outfit. the dress is so cute. the hair clip, earrings, and the tights are gorgeous.

Though i wouldn’t wear luna’s outfit, it was spot on.

Bellatrix’s outfit was a little too costume-y for me.

I am in love with fleur’s outfit. the hat is the cherry on top–its perfect. i am in love with every bit of this outfit.

The dolores-inspired outfit was spot on as well. i am super girly so that outfit was definitely up my alley.

I thought you did a good job with the harry-inspired outfit too.

I love you for this! and especially because you actually used harry as an inspiration – that outfit definitely appeals to me the most. overall, i feel like we forget to look at men for fashion inspiration.

As for other inspirational characters: while reading the books, i always imagined fred, george and nymphadora tonks to dress really rocker-y and cool.

I love this! luna’s is spot on, but bella’s is a little to costumey for my taste (wore something like this when i saw the movie though).

You did a really good job with this!

I would really like to see fashion inspired outfits from “burlesque” and possibly from bratz (any kind). sure they’re dolls, but their fashion style is mad! I’m a totally fan! and maybe something from shrek!

Luna! love the outfits by her, my favourite character! love the fleur and harry one too!

I love harry’s, it’s awesome the way it’s still his style but with clothes that would work on girls

Please do one wih ron as an inspiration, he feels left outxd his style is pretty cool and also, it would be so great to get ideas on where to buy something similar to weasley jumpers xd
