For Alice's first outfit I choose a sweet, delicate pale pink top and paired it with a charcoal grey studded skirt. I felt that this combination displayed Alice very well. The top shows her soft, sweet side and the skirt adds a little edge and hints that she has a tough side, too. To portray her tendency to go over board on things, I picked out bright purple tights and cranberry moccasins. They both add a huge pop of color and the moccasins even accentuate how petite Alice is because they are flat soled. Taking into account the climate in which Alice lives, I added a wool beret for warmth. The color of this hat represents the dreary setting and how to her peers Alice is purposely ignored because she stands out. They find her weird and different, so she doesn't fit in with them. However this is not to be confused with Bella and how she doesn't fit in anywhere. Alice doesn't fit in with her human peers because she is a vampire and while they don't know that, they can still sense that something is different about her. She does fit in with the Cullens though, as they completely understand her and her day to day struggles of being a vampire in a world full of humans. To finish off the outfit I placed a long bright blue and gold necklace over the pale pink top and added a pearl bracelet. As a character, Alice has depth. She is delicate and feminine and that's why I choose the pearl bracelet, but she is also a little eclectic and funky so that's where the long bright blue and gold necklace comes in. It adds another pop of color and helps bring out one of Alice's many personality traits that the reader learns through the use of characterization.
