For good luck, put on a bronze bird ring to represent the mockingjay pin that Katniss wears into the arena. The delicate arrow necklace references the archery skills that keep her alive. While Katniss totes around precious food, water, and weapons in her orange backpack, you can carry your school essentials in this cute canvas one. As a final touch, plait your hair into Katniss’s signature braid. (Here’s a great video tutorial.)

Bonus look: Inspired by Safe And Sound

I’ll admit I was skeptical when I first heard that country-pop princess Taylor Swift would be featured on the movie soundtrack, but once I watched the Safe and Sound video, my doubts totally dissipated. The song, which also features folk duo The Civil Wars, is ethereal and haunting, and the music video, filmed in a cemetery and forest in Tennessee, definitely captures the spirit of The Hunger Games.

Product information: Blouse, Skirt, Scarf, Shoes, Earrings, Ring, Hairpins, Necklace, Lip balm

In the music video, Taylor wears a one-of-a-kind 1920s vintage gown, but you can emulate the romantic look with an ivory cap-sleeved blouse and pleated midi skirt. Neutral oxfords and a muted floral scarf add to the outfit’s old-fashioned appeal. Accessorize with delicate jewelry: Bird earrings, twig hairpins, and a deer necklace evoke the mist-enshrouded forest, while a morbid but pretty bone ring references the cemetery setting.

Taylor’s relatively makeup-free look in the video was a surprising but welcome departure from her usual cat-eye liner and bold lipstick. Skip the heavy foundation and dab on some lip salve from a vintage-inspired tin for a pretty, au naturel visage. Let your hair air-dry for a wavy texture; if you’ve got straight hair, spritz in some wave spray or texturizer.

What do you think?

Would you wear these looks? Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Are you going to the midnight premiere and will you dress up? Who sets your heart afire — Gale or Peeta? And what other inspiration posts would you like to see? (I’ve got a not-so-bad feeling that we’ll next travel a long time ago to a galaxy far far away.)
