Style inspo from our favorite Sarah Dessen characters


It’s no joke that Sarah Dessen fills our summer reads with real-life characters, adorable romances and can’t-put-down plot lines. Seriously, have you had a chance to check out her latest title, The Moon and More?
Each of her books has its own look, whether you glance at the cover art or flip open the pages. And since we can’t stop reading (and re-reading) Sarah Dessen’s summer romances, we got to thinking: what would her main girls wear if they were actually, ya know, real people?

 

We’ve put together styles for each main character of our fave Sarah Dessen novels. Whip up these outfits and dress like these awesome fictional femmes while indulging in their stories.

    Annabel grew up with a pageant-obsessed mom, and it’s taken a toll on her sister. She’s kept up her girly look, but when she meets Owen, music has a whole new influence on her style.

    Auden is Boutique Chic

    From: Along for the Ride

    It’s tough not to look summer-chic when you live in a beach town and work at a boutique like Auden. This sweet nautical frock adds a twirl to her look while she’s hanging with Eli.

    Hard Rock Remy

    From: This Lullaby

    Remy has tough skin, and she’s not about to let her boyfriend’s cheating ruin her summer. We think Remy’s totally rocker-chic, given that her dad was a musician, and Dexter (the new guy in her life) has some musical talent up his sleeve, too.

    Emaline is Collegiate Cool

    From: The Moon and More

    Theo, the new guy in town, thinks Emaline’s too smart for her current BF, Luke. And Emaline’s dad is trying to lead her on the path to an Ivy League. Emaline’s a braniac, and we think she’d totally work the collegiate-cool look.
