Bella Swan's Style Analysis

Stephenie Meyer, author of New Moon, portrays Bella to be very introverted and somewhat insecure. Her dominant personality trait is low self esteem, so she doesn't always think very highly of herself and hates having attention drawed to her. Bella would much rather blend in with her surroundings and go unnoticed. This comes out in her sense of style. I choose to stay with a mostly neutral color pallate of greys, blacks, and blues to show how she tries to blend in. I interpreted her wardrobe to consist of mostly basics, in which sweatshirts, sneakers, henleys, jeans and fitted t-shirts are included. However she still does have a feminine side, so I added a few touches of femininity here and there (ie. - a ring, a blouse with delicate beading, etc.). They help show that as a character Bella is truly well developed, as her personalilty has many aspects to it (tomboy and feminine to name a couple).
