New Moon Fashion: Rosalie Hale Outfit #3

Based on Stephenie Meyer's use of characterization in the novel New Moon, I have constructed this outfit for Rosalie. It shows off her feminine side a little more than the previous outfits, but it still manages to maintain a strong, fierce feel. I choose to stay within the neutral color palette I had been working with in the first and second outfits. The neutral basis has a very strong and confident feel to it and it also displays Rosalie's stubbornness. She refuses to show any emotions, as she thinks they are a sign of weakness. So, this color palette captures Rosalie's essence perfectly. I went with a black dolman sleeve sweater and paired it with charcoal gray leggings. The cut of the sweater is slightly dramatic and exaggerated. This can be applied to Rosalie. She can be quite mean and rude when she wants to be, even if it isn't necessary. So in a way she exaggerates and I think a sweater with over exaggerated sleeves reflects that really well. I paired the sweater and leggings with black ankle booties and leg warmers over the booties. Again, I stayed away from a flat soled shoe, for Rosalie's personality is sophisticated, but in a stuck up way, so a shoe with a heel was a much better fit. Along with adding booties and legwarmers, I placed a bright blue floral scarf over the black sweater. This scarf channels Rosalie's feminine side and at the same time adds a vibrant pop of color. It helps show how Rosalie really is feminine, but how she is powerful and confident at the same time. To finish off the outfit, I placed two rings on one hand and a delicate bracelet on the other. The rings add a touch of glamour to the outfit and the bracelet further channels the feminine side of Rosalie.As a character, Rosalie is quite misunderstood. She's so stubborn and stuck up that it makes it difficult for the reader to relate to her and it is reflected through this outfit.
