You’re creative, quiet, a lover of stories, a deep thinker, and insightful. You love spending hours in bookstores and coffee shops and being taken on dates to museums and quiet, dimly lit haunts. Your whole life’s aesthetic is what has wonderfully and whimsically been described as a book girl.
So why not wear it proudly (while still understatedly), out and about? Below, find six items you can add to your fashion that will solidify your bookish, literary look.
An ‘Ex Libris’ necklace.
Ex Libris, which is the Latin term used at the beginning of books that means “from the library of”, is the perfect thing to inscribe across a delicate, gold, necklace of a book lover. Consider this, and other designs by its shop, Out of Print, to quietly and beautifully let the world know about your love of words.
Author-themed socks.
Nothing adds an understated but whimsical feel to an ensemble quite like a cute pair of socks. These author-themed socks from Socksmith will be an undeniably fun way to celebrate your love of books, especially as they keep you warm while you lounge around your apartment, dorm, or home. The best part is that they have socks featuring multiple classic authors, such as Jane Austen or William Shakespeare.
A book-shaped purse.
What better bag could one have for stashing valuables in while informing the world of their favorite book in a stylish and fun way than a book… that’s also a purse? You’ll get non-stop smiles and glances as you wear your favorite classic book slung over your shoulder as your purse. Just think of the conversation-starting possibilities with that handsome man at the cafe as your pull out your wallet to pay for your cappuccino.
Blue light-blocking reading glasses.
Just because you were blessed with good eyesight doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the stylish, bookish look that a lovely pair of glasses can offer. These dainty, beautiful glasses will not only add to your literary look, but will also protect your eyes with their specially formulated lenses that block a screen’s headache-inducing blue light (on the rare occasions you set your book down, perhaps to read Wallflower Journal).
A cozy reading sweater.
The only thing more important than finding a good book is being able to read it in glorious comfort. This lovely, cozy, knitted sweater will keep you warm and looking charming as you crack open that new read at the coffee shop, park, or in the peace and quiet of your home.
Quote-shaped earrings.
It’s hard to resist a fun yet dainty pair of earrings that tell those willing to look close enough your deep love of books. These sterling silver quote-shaped earrings are perfect for any woman looking to add a some quiet fun to her look.
