Stylebook: Anne of Green Gables

Sartorial inspiration for those who still dream of puffed sleeves.

Stylebook: Anne of Green Gables

While for most people, "style icon" conjures up Audrey, Marilyn or Coco (Chanel, not Austin), here at FYA we tend to look to our literary icons for style inspiration. Most teen characters are either jeans-and-grubby-tshirt devotees or designer name droppers, but every now and then a girl comes along who makes us not only want to be her BFF, we want to be HER. Enter the FYA Stylebook, where we make it easier than ever to copy-stalk your favorite fictional heroines like Katniss and Frankie Landau-Banks. Today, we're going to take inspiration from none other than Anne Shirley's wardrobe, because nothing says springtime like puffed sleeves!

Perfect for a church picnic -- with ice cream! The pink wouldn't go with Anne's red hair.

Marilla would definitely not approve of the jeans.

A professional look.
