Is there any disappointment quite so great as feeling like you were sorted into the wrong house? I thought my fear of this was over after I was sorted very definitely into Ravenclaw, but the introduction of the Ilvermorny house quiz started it up all over again- and five quiz attempts later, I’ve had to come to terms with being a Pukwudgie and not a Horned Serpent. 

Clearly, my emotion outweighs my intellect. However, after getting over the initial denial, I’ve come to realize that the Pukwudgie house is actually kind of awesome. 

This week I’ll be covering ways that you can get style inspiration from this caring, fiercely loyal house, continuing my series of Fashion Inspired by the Ilvermorny houses. (See my previous posts on Thunderbird house fashion and fashion inspired by the Ilvermorny school colors.)

About Pukwudgie House

The Pukwudgie house is not, as is assumed by some, the “Hufflepuff of Ilvermorny,” just because both of them seem to have a tendency towards sentiment and loyalty. 

The Pukwudgie house represents the heart, and favors healers, but don’t mistake this for weakness. The Pukwudgie itself is a creature characterized by independence and a distaste for people, (and if that ain’t just about every twenty-something I know, then I don’t know what is), and the compassion of its house members translates into fierce loyalty towards the people they care about.

To represent the Pukwudgie vibe in a sartorial way, try pairing softer pieces (floral motifs, pastels, and lace) with edgier ones (such as combat boots, moto jackets, and metallic details).
