Fashion Inspiration: Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
Princess Belle, from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is true to her name: She’s beautiful inside and out. Although she is impossibly gorgeous, she also loves to read, a fact that her neighbors often make fun of her for. Nonetheless, Belle pursues her passions, ultimately proving that you can be both beautiful and smart. This is part of why she is my favorite Disney princess, and judging by the number of requests I’ve received for a Belle article, I know she is many readers’ favorite as well.
Like the previous articles in this series, the purpose of this article is to use a childhood idol as inspiration for outfits that you can actually pull off as a college student. All it takes is a little creativity!
