I'm doing looks inspired by the characters in Trial by Fire (Raised By Wolves #3) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and for the first time the protagonist will not be one of the featured looks. Bryn's circumstances are far from normal, but she reads like a normal teen and not one with a particularly interesting closet. So... on to some more distinctive style.
Devon. Oh, Devon. He is my favorite werewolf ever in my favorite werewolf books. I love him so much. He's pure alpha material, but he chooses to check his natural instincts and follow Bryn, because she is his best friend. He's strong and tough, but funny and a little bit quirky. He is also always impeccably dressed and I tried to pick items that felt like Devon. I think these khakis are a little too wrinkled for his taste, but he is the kind of guy who can pull off pastels and white shoes. I imagine he would carry a messenger bag instead of a back pack and the music is there, because he has an obsession with show tunes.
Lake. She's a southern girl who loves weapons and has a particular sweet spot for guns. She's one of the few female werewolves in existence and because of that is often viewed as a precious object instead of a person... hence her driving desire to be able to protect herself. Still she's a southern girl who loves the outdoors. In my head she's always wearing cut-offs and cowboy boots. The pool cue and eight ball key-chain reference her status as one of the best hustlers at the Wayfarer.
I usually do three looks, but I couldn't decide on a third character. I thought about making the third look for Maddy, one of the wolves in Bryn's pack. But Maddy is on the run in book three and wears a sundress and little else. She has no time for shoes or jewelry and even though her clothes say a lot about her, I'm not sure her look is what I would call "inspiring". I may return to this series in the future and feature characters from the earlier books.

I love the pastels with the khakis but I'm not sure about the jacket. The pockets make it look a tad feminine to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of feminine looks on men. I'm also a fan of masculine looks on men. :)
DeleteFavorite werewolf series? Maybe I should give these ones a try. I keep seeing them around.
ReplyDeleteI totally love them and I'm a bit devastated that this latest one was the last one.
