Little Red

The inspiration for this post is a little silly, but my mind was wandering off this morning (as it often does) and I started to imagine what it would be like if fairytale characters all had secret fashion savvy lives.  Wouldn't that be great?!  So I came up with, Little Red Riding Hood: fashion maven!

Want to join in?  Select a favorite childhood storybook character and imagine them all grown up and chic as can be.  If you don't have photoshop, you can put the whole think together in Polyvore.  When you're done, email me with your grouping or a link to your look, and I'll post it here on CC.  Sound like fun?!  Hope you'll play along!

I had never heard of Polyvore before... this is going to destroy my ability to get anything done! Too much fun!

I adore that little red cape and those earrings! Magnificent and oh so inspiring!

Okay, me again. I'm addicted.

Here's Cinderella, day to night!http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=3261489

(BTW, the scarf for the "day" look would be tied around the handle of her bag, not in her hair! It looks like what she would wear, but it's not THAT literal!)

:o)

I'm in! I totally love this idea of modernizing fairytale looks.

I was so inspired, I created one for Alice in Wonderland and another for the Little Mermaid.

If I didn't have a ton of things to do, I'd be Polyvoring the day away.

I totally love that blue blouse, too, btw.

This was such a great idea and so much fun.

I made an outfit inspired by Belle (AKA Beauty from Beauty and the Beast) using Polyvore.

The Little Mermaid was my favorite storybook character growing up, so I created a set for her (she's all sophisticated!!): http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=3271551

I love this idea... everyone's sets are so gorgeous too!!!!

I absolutely am addicted to Polyvore. Until now I have never heard of it. Thanks!

Here is my version of Dorothy.

Here's one for Anne of Green Gables, based more on the movie than the books, really.http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=3281726

I also made this other one before hearing of your challenge, which might sort of fit Rebecca or Jane Eyre very loosely.http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=85256

Found your site via Casey's Musings. What a cute idea! Here's Belle, from Beauty & the Beast:
